Frequently Asked Questions
Welcome! The best place to begin is the Silva Life & Intuition 4-Day Immersion, our foundational in-person course. Over four days, you’ll learn more than 18 guided meditations and dynamic mind training techniques developed by José Silva.
The first two days cover the Silva Life System, and the next two focus on the Silva Intuition System—all taught step by step by a Certified Silva Instructor. You’ll learn in a supportive group environment with plenty of time for Q&A.
By the end, you’ll leave with everything you need to continue practicing in just 15 minutes a day, plus ongoing support through groups, coaching, and access to advanced Silva graduate seminars.
As a prior BLS graduate, you can register at a discounted rate with the BLS Upgrade option. This includes:
- Two updated hard-copy manuals
- A new Silva Life & Intuition certificate from Silva International
- All the same benefits as a new student registration
After completing the immersion, you’ll be considered a graduate reviewer and may retake the course anytime in the future for the reduced Reviewer fee, currently offered at $200.
You’ll be welcomed by Certified Silva Method Instructor Amy Schneider, who has practiced the Silva Method for over 40 years and taught for 5+. Classes are small (typically 5–25 people) and held in a calm, supportive environment designed for comfort and focus.
The room is set up theater-style, but you’re encouraged to bring anything that helps you relax—pillows, blankets, even a comfy chair. Dress in layers, as the room is kept cool. Expect guided meditations, interactive learning, healthy snacks, coffee/tea, and natural light-filled spaces.
Most importantly, you’ll find a warm, inclusive atmosphere where all questions are welcome and your learning experience is fully supported.
We offer three different registration options:
- New Student is for students who have never been through a Silva class before, either Silva Life & Intuition or the original Silva Basic Lecture Series
- BLS Upgrade is for students who previously completed the Silva Basic Lecture Series and are looking to upgrade their certification to the Silva Life and Intuition System
- Reviewer is for prior graduates of the Silva Life & Intuition System. Proof of certification is required.

Many people searching for a “meditation retreat” are looking for exactly this kind of experience — while we call it an immersion, the two aren’t so different. Over four days, you’ll step away from your daily routine to dedicate focused, uninterrupted time to learning and practicing meditation in a calm, supportive group setting, the same kind of reset people look for in a retreat.
The difference is what happens afterward: a retreat often ends when you go home. The Silva Life & Intuition Immersion is built to give you a daily practice, plus ongoing group and coaching support, so what you build over those four days keeps going long after you leave.
Yes. Apps like Calm and Headspace guide you through a recording — you press play and follow along, but you're relying on the app every time you want that state. The Silva Life & Intuition Immersion teaches you the actual technique: how to guide your own mind into a calmer, more focused state without a recording, an app, or a subscription. Once you've learned it over the four days, it's yours to use anywhere, anytime, on your own.
A meditation app is a subscription — you keep paying for access year after year, and most people stop using it well before they've gotten their money's worth. The Silva Life & Intuition Immersion is a one-time, in-person investment: four days with a Certified Silva Instructor, and you walk out owning the technique for life, with no recurring fee and no app required to use it.
Yes — one of the first techniques you'll practice is specifically designed to guide your mind toward the state just before sleep, and most students use it that same night. Unlike a one-off relaxation session, it's a skill you can call on any night your mind won't slow down, not something that only works while a recording is playing.
