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.

‘‘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.

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.

As we welcome the start of Spring, let us gather together in the mountains.

This retreat incorporates Taichi that readjusts our body’s energy and balances our organs. Every movement of the stretch wakes up every cell inside our body, and slowly releases all our burdens.

As we move into the afternoon, enjoy an artistic session of painting and meditation. Feel your emotions and senses, and portray them onto your canvas.

During this retreat, allow yourself to practice being mindful of the present. Feel every breath, listen to every heartbeat, and observe every emotion.

Slowly, find yourself back in peace.

In the fast paced society we’re in, our head is constantly filled with ideas and thoughts, leaving us with no time for ourselves. We hope that through this retreat, you can finally enjoy a moment of simple peace.

The retreat is specially designed as a space of relaxation, where time is stopped here, and where attendees can let go of their names and any distraction.

Take a deep breath, watch the changing phases of the sun, and stretch out your whole body. As you adjust to your breathing, the pressure on your muscles slowly disappears.

In silence, allow yourself to observe your five senses and emotions. Let your energy and emotions flow through every part of your body, and feel your body regain its inner balance.

There are many ways that help our souls flow freely, for example yoga, meditation, and writing. Through every movement of the body and mind, we learn to express ourselves fully.
