*Holistic Wellness provides retreats that offer a wide range of workshops with a holistic wellness approach, for example, Reiki, Xi-Gong, Ceramics, Sound Healing, Tea Ceremony and so on. Holistic Wellness emphasizes more on the connection with yourself.
*Please note that this is an adult-exclusive retreat available to 16-year-olds and over.
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.
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.

Space
Located in one of the busiest cities in Kaohsiung, this quiet and cultural village is preserved by the government today.
As one of the most secluded hostels away from the noisy city, this is a safe space with stories and creations. The contemporary interior design of wood and Tatami elicited the feelings of warmth and happiness.
And Guess what. There’s also a cute small garden where we can always choose a pleasant place to lay down on a beautiful sunny day!
Two types of accommodation is provided:
Shared Room
Mixed Gender Shared Room/ Female Shared Room
Attendees will share a double bed with another attendee of the same gender.
Private Room
( Only One Room available, perfect for attendees coming in pair )
*Why is the accommodation shared? The purpose behind shared accommodation is to create closer bonds between the participants.
