In our busy lives, we often forget to pause and listen to the emotions and quiet moments that words can’t capture.
This new year, join us in a peaceful retreat by the sea and mountains, where we can be silenced and focus on ourselves. We’ll begin with gentle stretches to release tension, letting the sound of waves guide us into deep meditation and pure tranquility. Through silent eye-gazing, we’ll connect with others in meaningful, wordless ways, finding understanding and support in shared stillness. Together, we’ll explore our inner emotions and step by step rediscover balance.
Silence isn’t just an escape from words—it’s a way to reconnect with yourself. Let’s take this renewed sense of tranquility and strength back into our everyday lives.
What To Expect
Wear your most comfortable clothes and bring environmentally friendly tableware.
Put down your phones and communicate with the world attentively.
Stay weird and stay unique.
Silent Artistic Expression: Gina
In the realm of sound, we will slowly listen to the natural rhythms of our bodies. Through chanting, we will awaken our ears and throats, loosening the constraints within and bringing awareness back to the present moment.

“Follow your heart and you’ll realize that everything is connected.”
Gina has received her yoga qualification in places including Taiwan, Thailand and Nepal.
In her experience, she has felt unity with the universe by yoga, meditation, chanting and self observation and has also found a connection with her inner self that she has never felt before as a kid.
Gina believes that listening closely to your heart, and observing every movement can help you gain a better understanding of yourself.
