“Life often feels like an endless train that never stops, speeding through each stage without giving us a moment to pause and truly know ourselves.”
This year, give yourself something precious during the first holiday break - a chance to rediscover the parts of yourself lost in the rush, hear the whispers of your forgotten inner voice, and find joy in living fully in the present.
Over a three-day silent retreat, there’s no need to answer messages or worry about others’ expectations—just pure, uninterrupted time to connect with yourself.
Through a gradual journey, you’ll awaken your senses and embrace your tired soul. From meditation and focus exercises to free-flow writing, you’ll uncover your most authentic inner voice. Simple body movements and playful sound activities will help you rediscover your natural energy and lightness.
Beyond sensory awakening, immerse yourself in the healing vibrations of sound. Gentle singing bowl tones will wrap you in comfort, letting every cell in your body find peace and rest.
Now, close your eyes, take a deep breath, and imagine the you that emerges after three days in the retreat—a renewed self, smiling brightly, ready to embrace the beauty of life once again.
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.
Interactive Sensation Instructor : Ada
In this retreat, Ada will guide everyone into an exploration of “expanded perception.” Through eye gazing, mindful listening, and the flow of a paintbrush, participants will unlock a deeper sense of awareness. In addition, her breathwork session will offer a healing experience, leading to a delicate journey of rebirth and a return to inner peace.
After a few years of struggles and unexpected changes, Ada embarked on a transformative journey of self-discovery and realization. She started viewing life in a whole new perspective, learning how to trust, create and love.
And now, Ada will be sharing her stories and inner journeys, on how she got to know herself through the challenges and incidents in life, and how she figured out the things that healed her, and things that made her grow.

Sound Healing: Linda
On the second day of this journey, Linda will lead an immersive sound healing experience. All we need to do is close our eyes and immerse ourselves in the healing sound waves, allowing the tension in our muscles and nerves to melt away and achieve full relaxation.
Linda discovered her calling through the mystical tones of the Monochord - an ancient instrument attributed to Pythagoras herself.
For eight years, she has immersed herself in mastering this sacred art, sharing its healing resonance through workshops, sound baths, and intimate therapeutic sessions.
In Taiwan, she now crafts bespoke monochords, collaborating with local artisans to nurture community bonds. Each instrument emerges as a labor of love.
Linda's mission is to awaken inner strength through the healing vibrations of the monochord.

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!
