Silent retreats

A silent retreat is an invitation to quieten the chatter of the mind and awaken to inner peace. Anyone battling overwhelm, or seeking a deeper connection with the self, will benefit from these retreats. Retreat styles range from longer, almost totally silent meditation retreats for more experienced meditators, to shorter and more general relaxing retreats for groups, where occasional silence meets with mindful physical activity like gardening and walking. Unplug from daily distractions in lush Balinese jungle, a sleepy French village, an off-grid cabin on the River Dart or a former convent in tranquil countryside. If the idea of silence scares you, relax – professional guides will be by your side as you journey inwards. And that’s when the real magic happens. Like jigsaw puzzle pieces fitting together, you’ll unearth your inherent wisdom and long-buried answers to life issues will emerge into the light. It’s a voyage of discovery – inside your own head.
