The Ocean Meditation: 8 hours Silent Retreat Experience

Have you ever tried spending an entire day in complete silence?

In our daily lives, we’re constantly engaged in conversations—talking with family, replying to messages, attending meetings—continuously adjusting ourselves to meet others’ expectations. As we navigate through bustling streets, our thoughts become cluttered, and our inner voice gets drowned out by the noise of a fast-paced world. It’s only in moments of solitude that we realize how truly exhausted we are.

Let’s put down our phones and take a break from the daily chaos. Spend an afternoon in a space in silence where you can reconnect with yourself.

During these hours of introspection, you’ll follow the gentle guidance of an instructor, awakening the senses, recharging the mind and body, and aligning with the rhythm of nature. In this tranquil space, you’ll be able to listen to your inner voice.

“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.

‘‘Why are languages needed?’’

"I want to be understood, but instead, I'm often misunderstood and I become more afraid of communication."

"But over these three days, I experienced that even without language, we can truly understand others and be understood." This is what the participants of the silent retreat said.

Language is so natural, yet it seems to make us overly reliant on it. We forget how to communicate with others and with ourselves through sincerity and genuine feeling.

We invite you to give yourself a gift of purity this early winter and explore your intentions. In the natural surroundings of Pingxi, there are no languages, no excessive distractions, not even identities, labels, or names, only "tranquility."

During this retreat, follow the guide's steps and try different ways of meditation: dynamic meditation, art therapy, morning walking meditation. Each guided session brings us back to tranquility without the need for words but through mindful awareness of your thoughts and heartbeat - allowing your body to release stress and anxiety.

We also practice adjusting breathing rhythms and vocalization, returning to the soft state of infancy when we first learned to speak, relearning and feeling "vocalization." Experience the collaboration between sound and body, practicing to bring yourself back to the current moment with every word spoken.

This retreat will bring some surprises: freedom has always been here, it just needs a timely reminder to return.

The Quiet Land:3-day Silent Retreat

In a world overflowing with words and information, we often overlook the genuine emotional needs buried deep within us. Language, while a tool for communication, can sometimes become a barrier to expressing true feelings. We’ve grown accustomed to relying on language to convey thoughts and emotions, but have you ever wondered what profound changes might occur when instead we listen to the voice within?

Silence is a focus on “non-verbal” communication. It allows us to experience true connection and exchange between the mind, body, and spirit. Through breathwork, mindfulness meditation, and physical expression, we explore silent communication and deep self-awareness, releasing inner emotions and engaging in meaningful dialogue with ourselves.


Through this three-day silent retreat, we invite you to step into a space of deep inner exploration and connection. Discover the profound bonds and transformations that can emerge in the absence of words.

The Quiet Land:3-day Silent Retreat

Let yourself immerse in tranquility and allow your body and mind to be cleansed and recharged in absolute silence on the summer time of this year.

In these three days of cutting off communication with the world, you will engage in deep meditation, gentle stretching, and peaceful chanting. Let the land, forest and air help you relax your brain and soul.

Sometimes connections can happen without the use of words. Through every eye gaze, guide each other to explore the world that is seen through our own eyes.

On our final night together, we will sit down and practice sharing our experience. This journey of purifying the body, mind, and soul allows us to better understand the importance of expression. While you learn the technique of expression, you are ready to embrace daily life with a calm body and mind.

When was the last time you took a moment to quiet down and listen to the inner voice within yourself?

Whether it is through spoken words or written text, our minds are often filled with various voices from the external world. Yet, we often forget to save time for a conversation with ourselves.

This time, give yourself a moment of warmth and return to tranquility in southern Taiwan.

In this journey, follow the gentle yet firm footsteps of the guide, and get to know the art of 'quieting the mind' in different ways. Engage in afternoon Zen walks, experience the flow of body movements, and observe the sunrise and sunset. In silence, allow yourself to be guided by a sense of peace. Practice expressing yourself silently, letting the body gently release tension, and return to a state of ease.

Before concluding the silent journey, we would imagine returning to a state where we first learned to speak like an infant. Relearn the art of voicing your feelings, and experience the deep collaboration between sound and the body.

The Blueprint of Conscious Awakening

The Blueprint of Conscious Awakening

“Emotions are a part of me, but I dislike being controlled by them.”

Have you ever felt lost in such confusion? In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, it's easy for our moods to be engulfed by whirlpools. The tension of emotions can often unintentionally hurt the dearest ones around us.

Then there are those indescribable emotions, neither wanting to suppress nor indulge them, yet not knowing where to go. Unintentionally, these feelings have infiltrated into our daily actions and choices, making it hard to break free.

Let's temporarily settle these complex thoughts! Step away from the frames set by emotions, and from a broader perspective, rediscover ourselves by sketching our own awakening blueprint. Let’s learn to consciously take control of our emotions, and live in harmony with them.

We can still deeply experience various emotions, whether joy or sadness, but next time, try letting them flow and transform naturally, rather than occupying our hearts.

" Have you ever worried about awkwardness, that you had to fill the void with words?’

Living in the modern society, we can't avoid daily communication and conversations. Often, as we step out the door, we choose to put on our masks and avoid many voices that echo in our minds. Over time, we gradually forget the pure warmth that comes from person-to-person interaction, and we even forget to preserve moments of solitude and quietness.

"I miss the carefree, joyful version of myself from the past."

We invite you to create a tranquil space while you reject the external sounds. Here, there's no language, no interruption, nor names—just tranquility as your companion.

In this journey, follow the instructor’s guidance and pay attention to your thoughts and heartbeat. Starting from each step you take, practice activating your senses. Through guided meditation, express gratitude to your body. In moments of meditation and stillness, reconnect with and reconcile that long-lost version of "yourself."

A Shamanic Healing Retreat

A Shamanic Healing Retreat

As we approach the end of summer, let’s join together with the community to unveil the mystery of shamanism. Through a completely different perspective, we experience how shamanism injects healing energy into our daily lives.

Through guided shamanic meditation, we connect with the four elements within our bodies which balances our internal energy and releases tension.

After releasing the mind and body, we will use everyday objects for healing purposes. We use water to balance our left and right brain hemispheres. We use rice to replenish the body's vitality. And last, we use salt to purify the chakras and balance our energy centers.

Next, we follow the guide to deepen our understanding of power animals in Shamanism. After knowing their strengths and wisdom, we will gain new inspiration and insights for our lives.

In the evening, gather around the campfire as we feel our power and engage in deep conversations.

Finally, we come together to enjoy a feast of vegetarian cuisine while exchanging stories with our companions, discussing shamanism and experiencing everyday healing.

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.
