"Another year has passed, and there are still so many goals that haven't been achieved. I'm really disappointed in myself..."

As this year comes to a close, let’s return to our home, not to feel disappointed, but instead to experience new "connections." Just like establishing external connections, this will allow our hearts to be more open to accepting new things in life. Let’s look forward to the coming year with peace and gratitude.

Starting the journey with meditation to calm the mind, letting chaotic thoughts settle. Then, through free writing, we avoid overly criticizing the past, while writing fresh notes for the future.

With open hearts, we create different connections with our companions - we release repressed emotions and rediscover our true selves. We experience touch that heals inner wounds; and through eye contact, we feel the purest connection between people.

Before dinner, we conclude with dynamic meditation, a guided practice different from static meditation. Together, we attempt a new experience of self-awareness, embarking on a journey to explore the balance of body and mind.

As night falls, candles are lit, and the aroma of red wine and fruit fills the air. With mulled wine and a warm dinner to nourish the body and soul, we openly share new plans for the coming year with our companions, and accept the most sincere blessings from each other. With gratitude and love, we bring this year to a beautiful and fulfilling close.

Do you remember the last time you truly felt happy and laughed out loud?

This October, join us at the North Coast where art and nature merge and resonate with laughter. We will wash away long-accumulated fatigue with pure joy and shed the burdens of daily life.

First, we will journey through time, immersing ourselves in sacred songs from around the world, opening all the senses needed for this journey.

Next, we will explore the mysteries of the seven chakras. Each type of laughter acts as a key, unlocking the corresponding energy center within the body. From gentle smiles to hearty laughter, feel every cell in your body stretch out in joy, returning to a state of ultimate relaxation.

When we let go of all labels and restraints, it's as if we've returned to childhood, laughing freely without any reservations. Laughter echoes in the air, spreading from one person to another, creating a sea of joy.

Finally, we end with a laughter meditation and quiet reflection. Explore the landscape of your inner world with your own voice, bathing in pure frequencies. Gradually, everything returns to serenity.

This laughter-filled experience of awareness will take away all worries and anxiety. We will return to our lives filled with energy and joy, eagerly awaiting the next gathering.

The golden autumn days invite us to this artistic sanctuary in the northern coast. Hidden within the verdant mountains, sunlight filters through the leaves like gentle hands, caressing every inch of skin, bringing a touch of warmth to the senses.

Following the gentle guidance, we use the simplest, purest sounds to retune the rhythm of life. Immersed in the resonant waves of singing bowls, they wash away long-held anxiety and worries, restoring inner peace and balance.

As our senses gradually awaken, creativity flows like a spring. We let go of inner tension, embrace each inspiration, receive the purification from crystals, and freely express various imaginations and creativity. We enter a state of flow with no external judgment, leaving us united with our present creation.

Then, we embark on an encounter with art and mindfulness: the finesse of the artwork is not the focal point; what matters is the focus and breakthrough of self-imposed limitations during the creative process. When we release the fear of "not being able to paint '' and the standards of "good" art, crossing over self-imposed and external barriers, true healing quietly occurs.

Emotions dance with the strokes of the brush, following inner guidance, focusing on personal feelings rather than others' opinions. Each stroke is an exploration and acceptance of the self. As ink blends with paper, inner unease and anxiety dissipate, leaving behind a new understanding and appreciation of oneself.

This flowing artistic awareness experience allows the healing touch of sound and art to soothe our hearts, helping us gain a deeper awareness of ourselves. With this renewed sense of balance and joy, we return to daily life, opening up infinite possibilities with a fresh perspective.

At the end of summer, we would like to invite our members to come back home and gather in a secret corner of the city: Twilight Island, for a journey of mind and body rejuvenation.

In a serene place surrounded by tranquil mountain scenery, we reunite with our Soul Barn family and let go of the business of everyday life. In this retreat, you can find understanding, support, and empathy, feel free to share and release, and experience the deepest peace within.

Wearing blindfolds, we savor private chef-prepared dishes in the twilight. Have you ever dined in the dark? Are you curious about what the dishes look like? Starting from your taste buds, open up all your senses and experience them in detail. Follow the guidance instructor to try different dining rhythms and methods, listen to the stories behind the dishes, and explore the connections between each ingredient and the environment, personal emotions, inner self, and bodily sensations.

After various interesting explorations at the twilight dinner, let us return to ourselves even more, enriching us back to daily life.

“Emotions are a part of me, but I dislike being controlled by them.”

Have you ever felt lost in such confusion? In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, it's easy for our moods to be engulfed by whirlpools. The tension of emotions can often unintentionally hurt the dearest ones around us.

Then there are those indescribable emotions, neither wanting to suppress nor indulge them, yet not knowing where to go. Unintentionally, these feelings have infiltrated into our daily actions and choices, making it hard to break free.

Let's temporarily settle these complex thoughts! Step away from the frames set by emotions, and from a broader perspective, rediscover ourselves by sketching our own awakening blueprint. Let’s learn to consciously take control of our emotions, and live in harmony with them.

We can still deeply experience various emotions, whether joy or sadness, but next time, try letting them flow and transform naturally, rather than occupying our hearts.

At the peak of summer, we gather at the Soul Barn rooftop sanctuary, a tranquil haven amidst the urban hustle and bustle. Let us bask in the gentle sunlight that replenishes our vitality and feel the warmth of the sun, circulating through our bodies, bringing a sense of comfort and ease to every part of us.

Follow the gentle guidance to readjust and realign ourselves. After chakra tuning, we are rejuvenated by Reiki healing to the body and mind - washing away our exhaustion, gently putting down the pressure on our shoulders, and finding back our long lost balance.

In this journey of body awareness, Soul Barn integrates Kundalini sound flow meditation and Shaman breathing meditation. Following the pace of the guide, we practice a different form of meditation where we deeply observe and care for every inch of our skin, every thought and consciousness, and feel the connection between the chakras, body and emotion. Let the body, mind and spirit connect closely with all natural entities.

Let go of your anxiety and worries, return to our daily routines with a refreshed body and mind after deep healing and experience all the new and exciting possibilities that life offers.

Do you remember the profound experience of being fully present and deeply connected with your partner?

In life's hustle, we often overlook the opportunities for heartfelt conversations with our beloved.

Seize a weekend day off to invite your partner to the serene forests of New Taipei. Together, relish the tranquility and intimate connection unique to partners.

Nestled amidst lush greenery lies a serene cabin, a sanctuary for delightful surprises.

Embark on partner yoga, supporting each other with gentle strength, nurturing trust, and calmness.

Gaze into each other's eyes, exploring emotions and deepening intimacy. Practice silent connection, savoring every moment.

As the journey comes to an end, silently embrace the transformative power of touch, rekindling a sacred connection.

In this shared retreat, take a break from life's demands, replenish spirits, and carry the warmth of these shared experiences back into your lives.

During the transit between Spring and Summer, gather with Soul Barn in a quiet place surrounded by mountains and trees, bask in the warmth of the sunlight through the branches, and feel the gentle breeze with the warmth of the sun.

Following gentle guidance, let’s place ourselves in the midst of the oscillating waves of the singing bowls and find balance from within.

As our five senses gradually open up, our creativity emerges from the heart, breaking free from self-imposed limitations. In the presence of pure crystals, let’s freely embrace nature and create freely through stability and groundedness.

This unique form of meditation centers around art that is designed to be intuitive and be integrated into daily life. Let’s explore our inner light and allow emotions to flow with each brush stroke - dissolving inner stress and anxiety in the realm of water and ink.

Experience the connection between body, mind, and emotions in creation with nature. Through the healing power of sound and art, self-awareness and deep relaxation will come with a balanced body and mind that we can return to in our daily lives.

In the early spring, let’s meet in a quiet place in the north and tread on the ground with our feet, wander in the forest, and let thesunshine warm up our body.

Follow the gentle guidance to readjust and realign ourselves. After chakra tuning, we are rejuvenated by Reiki healing to the body and mind - washing away our exhaustion, gently putting down the pressure on our shoulders, and finding back our long lost balance.

On a tranquil afternoon near the North Coast of Taiwan, we organized a mindfulness journey led by "Cacao" for those who have no outlet for anxiety and tension.

In life, there are always people around us who help us realize our qualities and talents, giving us advice on the possibilities we can try in life.

However, those guidance might actually turn into chains that bind us into what the society expects of us and restrain us from following what we really want.

Join us in the community while you go on a journey of self-exploration.

Instructors will lead meditation and breathing practice to awaken our intuitions. While you’re beside the tree, listen to the rhythm of nature, as you feel the blood flowing in our bodies.

We will be using the Human Design System of "Life Roles" and "Four Types" as a map for self-exploration and self-understanding. Through every observation, we can analyze the most suitable way for us to make decisions.

As the journey ends, we can still act according to our free will, but we will gain the courage to go for the choice that aligns better with ourselves.

"What we experience is all created by our subconscious."

In the first journey of 2024, let's return to the center of our home and refocus on ourselves. Slowly stroll through our subconscious, and feel moments including the small ones.

"The best time to start organizing is always now."

At the beginning of the new year, try not to procrastinate on sorting out your new plans. Let's understand manifestation - the workings of fulfilling desires - and learn how to implement the techniques of manifestation step by step in our lives, ensuring that our New Year's resolutions don't fizzle out.

On evenings spent on the rooftop, savoring a warm dinner, let's discuss new plans with our companions. cherishing the purity and joy of The Barn and embark on this special journey together, preparing ourselves for the plans of the upcoming year.

Imagine a world without words.

There are times when we create a conversation only because we feel like we “have to”. Living in a world full of noise, a silent retreat that includes not only daily meditation, but also Art Expression, Five Senses Exploration, and Mantra for Joy and Peace can bring us a deep and authentic self transformation simply by giving ourselves some “me-time”.

Waking up early in the morning in a silent little village, we’ll experience some yoga sessions to start off the day. In the afternoon, simply immerse ourselves in peace, find balance of our lives and regain the connection with our mind and body. At night, enjoy the best vegetarian menu packed with seasonal ingredients. Don’t worry, the food is crazy delicious and amazing.

Just before the retreat ends, we’ll join a Sharing Circle, where we can share our experiences and questions throughout the journey, and remember, we’re always here listening, without judgment and criticisms.

Here in this silent journey, follow the instructors’ guide through the meditation sessions, and simply listen to your inner voice. We’ll be there offering support and guidance, helping you access a deeper level of consciousness.

"Everything you experience, your body remembers. “

Our brain is not the only organ that retains memory, but every part of your body, including our muscles and skin. Every event and emotion you go through leaves deep marks within your cells. However, we often overlook the information that our bodies want to convey us.

During this winter, join us in our community to gently awaken, listen, and understand these memories. In a safe and nurturing space, start by awakening your tense body and cold limbs. Use a warm and active body to embark on a journey of self-discovery through guided exploration. Gradually delve inward, sorting through the inner voices, and allowing our thoughts to settle.

Then, in the process of touch, feel the sensations your body has experienced, collectively experiencing the depth of the present moment.

In the silver-gray winter, gently illuminate our awareness, body, and the space we inhabit. In a tranquil corner of the city, as we listen to, understand, and heal each memory that has been overlooked, may we take with us some warmth through the entire winter season."

In this season of abundance and gratitude, we invite you to return to the community and shower yourself with the warmth of self-compassion. Gently awaken our awareness and observe our emotions, allowing them to dissolve the barriers of our consciousness. Take a moment to truly appreciate all the effort we've put into ourselves throughout the year.

In a safe and tranquil space, close our eyes and let us gently dive within. Explore and heal all those unnamed emotions, reconcile with them, and ground ourselves, opening up to a richer consciousness.

As our consciousness softens and lightens, sit down and, through our senses, release the stress from life and work. When the night falls, accompanied by laughter, indulge in a heartwarming dinner and homemade mulled wine. Embrace the pure joy of being in the community, and join us in celebrating this Thanksgiving holiday.

Do you often find yourself held back by the procrastination habits that hinder you from reaching your goals and pursuing your aspirations, leaving you feeling powerless each time?

Do you make a daily commitment to wake up and exercise in the morning, yet often find yourself coming up short?

Does your weight loss plan keep getting postponed...?

Our lives are influenced by a mix of both good and bad habits, each shaping different parts of our identity. We try to change some of these habits, but it's hard to find the right way to do it. Occasionally, we feel lost and helpless amidst these habits, carrying their weight as we continue our journey.

Much like how being worried can sometimes cause stomach aches, habits are the subconscious reflections that come from our inner selves. During this retreat, we'll understand how to make our minds and brains work together, and learn how to use our inner thoughts to make and change habits.

We'll explore our inner thoughts more deeply and practice the skill of getting rid of old habits by teaming up with our inner thoughts to swap out old habits for the power of positive change.

As our journey comes to an end, this transformative experience for spiritual well-being doesn't end here. In our group, we'll continue practicing being aware and changing ourselves. Together, we'll nurture a supportive community dedicated to ongoing growth and positive change.

"No longer let your brain control your mind. Instead, allow your intuition to flow freely and let inspirations grow."

Words, art, movements, and even scents can become a creation that help us express our emotions.

As the journey begins, let your heart settle in meditation. Then try to understand the environment through the sense of touch. This not only helps stabilize our mind but also opens up our perception, making it easier to follow our intuition during the fragrance creation process.

Allow yourself to let ideas flow with your intuition, as you use fragrances to keep a record of how you feel.

Once you return to the community in late autumn, let’s dive into the world of exploring the subconscious. Using scent as the main tool to help you engage in a sensory experience.

In life, there are always people around us who help us realize our qualities and talents, giving us advice on the possibilities we can try in life.

However, those guidance might actually turn into chains that bind us into what the society expects of us and restrain us from following what we really want.

As summer comes to an end, we would like to invite everyone to gather in a secret and tranquil corner of the city: Members' Club, an exclusive venue for settlement members.

On the rooftop surrounded by plants, the settlement is specially arranged for a surprise for our members.

Together, let's return to our inner tranquility, slow down the pace of our heart beat, immerse ourselves in melodies, and gain the power to embrace ourselves.

Attendees will also have the chance to play the handpan and feel its ethereal power. With our companions by our side, we will enter a state of flowing, and experience the joy of living in the present moment.
