“How are you?”
These three words are easily conveyed through speech. Yet, we often forget that true communication extends beyond words—it is also shared through feelings and soulful connections.
How long has it been since you paused to truly listen to your inner voice?
Language, our most natural tool, plays an essential role in daily life. Yet, it can sometimes distract us from our truest feelings, keeping us focused on the surface.
A three-day silent retreat is not merely a break from words; it’s an opportunity to deeply reconnect with yourself, offering complete emotional restoration and renewal. Each moment becomes a chance to rediscover your inner dialogue, returning to life with newfound peace and strength, ready to embrace its beauty.
When we step away from words, we uncover the purest version of ourselves—a sense of freedom and calmness that has always been within us.
We invite you to embark on this silent journey, rediscovering deep connections with yourself, others, and the world.
Don’t miss this year’s only weekday silent retreat.
What To Expect

Mindfulness Meditation: Yoanna
In this retreat, Yoanna will lead us to find our inner peace through meditation. The key to finding inner peace is to understand who you are and be mindful about your emotions.
“In a world that is so fast paced, we all need to learn how to stay calm and move at our own pace.”
Yoanna has experienced healing and growth through Breathing Techniques, Yoga, and Meditation Practices, and she hopes to bring that experience to our attendees too.
*This session will be held in Mandarin
*This session can be held bilingual, send your request to our official LINE @soulbarn at least one week before the retreat if you need.
Art and Sound Healing: El & Nina
In this retreat, we will collectively experience the profound healing power of nature. El & Nina use diverse methods to guide us in opening our five senses, connecting different sensory experiences with our inner feelings, and bringing healing powers into our lives.
French mentor El has lived in Hawaii, India, Malaysia, London, and the Philippines. With over two decades of guiding experience, he specializes in various techniques such as “Energy Medicine," "Emotional Reprogramming," "Sound Healing," "Inner Dance," "Kundalini Yoga," and more. He has assisted people from around the world in adjusting their physical, mental, and spiritual states, overcoming challenges, including cancer patients.
"The greatest secret to maintaining physical health is to first take care of our emotional well-being." El is a nature enthusiast, a talented chef, a life enthusiast, and a keen observer of beauty in everyday life.
As an art creator and illustration therapist, Nina has navigated through the difficult phases of work-life balance. She is determined to engage in work that nurtures both the body and mind, living the life her soul truly desires.
“I find solace in doodling and creating art as a way to quiet my mind and release inner turmoil.”
Through methods such as "Energy Healing Illustrations," "Mandala Creation," "Crystal Information Reading," "Unicorn Reiki," "Emotional Reprogramming & Energy Medicine," Nina guides people to enhance self-awareness, release accumulated stress, and manage emotions.
El & Nina will gently guide everyone through the healing path.
*This session will be guided bilingually.
