In the world that we live in, we are constantly interacting with one another and constantly receiving information from the internet or our phone.

Sometimes, these voices get so loud that we start to forget our own voice.

Do you remember the last time you spent alone time with yourself?

Once in a while, spending quality time with oneself is very important to clear the mind.

We invite you to join our Silent Retreats, and enjoy a journey with just you and your mind.

 

 

What To Expect

Put down your phones together and communicate with the world attentively. Please do not disturb the environment, do not litter, do not maliciously attack others. Wear your most comfortable clothes and bring environmentally friendly tableware. Stay weird and stay unique.

Full schedule will be provided after booking is confirmed.

 
 
 

Yoga Instructor: Rob

In this retreat, Rob will be leading Pranayama Meditation, Yoga Nidra, Feldenkrais, and Calming Movement. Through each practice, we will be able to learn how to control our breath and body movement. These methods can then be applied into our daily lives to help us stay peaceful and balanced.

“Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.”

Rob has been a certified movement teacher for twenty years and uses yoga, Pilates, strength training, functional movement patterns and Feldenkrais to help people become more symmetrical and balanced while being more mobile. He also helps people discover how to be more in touch with their unconscious and their bodies through in-depth feeling and sensitivity training.


*This session will be held in Mandarin

 
 
 

Meditation Instructor: Gina

In this retreat, Gina will be leading “Body Scan Guided Meditation”, “Ecstatic Dance”, “Walking Meditation” and “Mantra Chanting” that will train us to be mindful of our five senses. Through each step, we will put our body back to its original state and experience every detail behind it.

“Connect everything through your heart in its original form.”

Gina is a yoga instructor who has regained her confidence and belief through the journey of self discovery. She believes that once you learn to listen to your true voice, everything in the universe will come together and help you meet your true self.

*This session will be held in Mandarin
