If longer periods of silence are new to you, it's natural to have worries.

 

This retreat has been designed as an experience to hold you. You don't have endless hours just sitting there with yourself.

 

We have created sessions such as the sound bath to allow you to be silent whilst taking you on a journey deeper than the mind alone. To support your body and infuse your cells with healing vibrations.

  • How much silence is there?

    The invited silence begins at 5.45pm Friday and ends 115pm Sunday.

     

    Upon arrival, we will give you a guided tour of the property so you feel comfortable .

     

    Then we will start with an opening circle to answer any questions and share an itinerary so you know the timings for the weekend. 

     

    If something comes up, and you need to speak to facilitators, you can. 

     

    We will also have a whiteboard where you can write questions you need an answer to, if you don't want to break your silence. 

     

    To close, we gather in circle again where you can share your experience if you choose as a way to process & reflect or listen to others.

  • What if I feel uncomfortable or overwhelmed by silence?

    It's normal to feel restless or uneasy at first, facilitators are there to support you, and you can always speak privately with them if needed. 

     

    It's not about suppression but about creating space fr what arises in the silence.

  • What if there is an emergency at home and I am needed?

    We will be sharing emergency contact details for you to pass on to your loved ones, so they can contact us.

     

    It can feel challenging to step away from family life when you feel you are needed, but most situations can be handled without you, and we are encouraging you to truly step away from all responsibilities just for the weekend.

     

    The retreat will be a tech-free zone so you aren't tempted to get pulled back into doing.

  • Will the facilitators talk?

    Yes, to lead your sessions and keep you safe.

     

    We will also be honoring your silence by moving throughout the retreat with as little talking as possible. 

  • Won't I feel awkward around others?

    Yes, it's possible. We are highly conditioned to be polite and acknowledge others.

     

    Whilst you could do this with a smile or eye contact, we would suggest that you don't. We will explain this is the opening circle.

     

    We communicate in many ways, even without words, and this is your inwards journey.

     

    Everyone will be on the same page, knowing you aren't 'being rude' and that is what we have all agreed.

     

    This is part of the discomfort that is there to be recognised and worked through. It may highlight, for example, that you say 'hello' to be polite more than you really want. Silence teaches us so much, and you are just there to witness all of your feelings and realisations.
