Silent Meditation Retreat

Escape the noise and chaos of daily life and give yourself the gift of a silent retreat. Our program offers a unique opportunity to disconnect from the external world, quiet the mind and reconnect with yourself on a deeper level.

During the retreat, you’ll take a vow of silence, which means no talking during meditation, meals, yoga, or any other activities. By removing distractions and verbal communication, you can reach a deep level of contemplation and reflection. The silence allows you to process thoughts and emotions, stop reacting to negative impulses, and become more aware & alert.

“Through the portals of silence, the healing sun of wisdom and peace will shine upon you.” – Paramahansa Yogananda

In addition to the physical and mental cleanse, a silent retreat also provides a much-needed digital detox. You will have the space for reflection and introspection, allowing you to process and manage your thoughts and emotions. By disconnecting from the outside world, you can increase your focus, efficiency, and productivity, even beyond the retreat.

Our daily program includes meditations, yoga and non-doing activities, creating a relaxing and transformative atmosphere for your inner journey. And with breathtaking and tranquil natural surroundings, you’ll be able to appreciate the beauty and joy of the world around you in a new, fresh way.

Whether you are a beginner or have been meditating for years, our retreat is open to all backgrounds and levels. A silent retreat can bring profound results for any spiritual seeker looking to discover their most authentic self and experience true transformation.

Invest in your mental health and wellbeing today. Join our silent retreat and emerge feeling refreshed, recharged, and ready to take on life’s challenges with greater focus and joy. The gift of silence is waiting for you!

What To Bring

Comfortable Clothes and Layers. Although we expect warm days, evenings and mornings could be cool, so pack layers. A light rain jacket might come handy. Remember to bring something to cover your head and shoulders for meditation. You might also want to bring along a sheepskin and/or a lightweight blanket for relaxation.

Sleeping Bag. Bring a sleeping and/or a blanket if you want to sleep in the tents “Under the Sky”.

A Journal. This experience may be transformational, and you might be surprised at what feelings and emotions that come up during your visit. Journaling often allows us to dig deeper within, giving you space to express what may otherwise be difficult to vocalize. Looking back at your retreat journal later down the line can also be a beautiful reminder of how much you have grown.

A Water Bottle. Staying hydrated is key as the processes and activities involved can be thirsty work! We will be drinking nature’s gift of clean, fresh well water. We will also provide Organic Yogi Tea.

Mala beads. Yogi`s tool for chanting and meditation.

Flip-Flops/Slides. As you will be practicing barefoot, it’s useful to pack some shoes that you can easily slip on and off as you practice and each time you enter the main house.

Hiking/Walking Shoes. In this nature retreat you’ll want to ensure you have a good pair of hiking or walking shoes, so you are always comfortable.

Sunscreen. Since we will be spending a lot of time outdoors, you may want to pack some natural sunscreen.
