Surya-Chandra Das

Surya-Chandra Das is a meditation teacher and founder of Rolling Meadows Retreats, with over 30 years of experience guiding silent retreats and contemplative practice. His teaching is informed by decades of sustained meditation practice, long-term retreat experience, and training across multiple contemplative traditions in the United States and abroad.

Over the years, Surya has studied and practiced in diverse settings—monastic, retreat-based, and lay—developing a grounded, integrative approach to silence that emphasizes care, accessibility, and relational presence. His work weaves together silent meditation, embodied awareness, yoga nidra, and breath-based practices, offered with steadiness and depth rather than dogma.

Surya is known for creating retreat containers that feel deeply held and humane. He invites participants into silence not as withdrawal from life, but as a shared field of attention where compassion, clarity, and love can emerge naturally over time.
