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.
The Quiet Land：3-day Silent Retreat
“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.
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.
The Quiet Land：3-day Silent Retreat
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.
A Cozy Winter Gathering: Rooftop Dinner With Mulled Wine
"Another year has passed, and there are still so many goals that haven't been achieved. I'm really disappointed in myself..."
As this year comes to a close, let’s return to our home, not to feel disappointed, but instead to experience new "connections." Just like establishing external connections, this will allow our hearts to be more open to accepting new things in life. Let’s look forward to the coming year with peace and gratitude.
Starting the journey with meditation to calm the mind, letting chaotic thoughts settle. Then, through free writing, we avoid overly criticizing the past, while writing fresh notes for the future.
With open hearts, we create different connections with our companions - we release repressed emotions and rediscover our true selves. We experience touch that heals inner wounds; and through eye contact, we feel the purest connection between people.
Before dinner, we conclude with dynamic meditation, a guided practice different from static meditation. Together, we attempt a new experience of self-awareness, embarking on a journey to explore the balance of body and mind.
As night falls, candles are lit, and the aroma of red wine and fruit fills the air. With mulled wine and a warm dinner to nourish the body and soul, we openly share new plans for the coming year with our companions, and accept the most sincere blessings from each other. With gratitude and love, we bring this year to a beautiful and fulfilling close.
One-day Fasting Retreat
Did you know that "fasting" is also a way to help heal the body and mind?
Eating three meals a day is our habitual lifestyle, and maintaining our health through the choice of foods we consume is common knowledge. In fact, there are many ways to maintain physical and mental health, including the unexpected method of fasting. Through our guided instructor, let’s experience a one-day fast, choosing to give our digestive system a proper rest and help the body restart its repair mechanisms.
In the height of summer, let's gather at our rooftop Soul Barn sanctuary to learn the hidden health secrets within the human body. Together, we'll make juices, warm vegetable soups, and colorful sauerkraut dishes, immersing ourselves in the joy that the flow state of hands-on creation brings. We will gain a deeper understanding of the connection between food and the mind and body.
In a tranquil spot near the city, we'll enjoy the feeling of our feet lightly touching the ground, laying our foundations, and letting the warm sunlight replenish our energy. Feel the soothing sensation of warm blood circulating throughout the body. After a day of this experience, you'll return to your daily life with a lighter body and mind.

The Quiet Land：3-day Silent Retreat
" 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 Cozy Thanksgiving Gathering: Rooftop Dinner With Mulled Wine
In this season of abundance and gratitude, we invite you to return to the community and shower yourself with the warmth of self-compassion. Gently awaken our awareness and observe our emotions, allowing them to dissolve the barriers of our consciousness. Take a moment to truly appreciate all the effort we've put into ourselves throughout the year.
In a safe and tranquil space, close our eyes and let us gently dive within. Explore and heal all those unnamed emotions, reconcile with them, and ground ourselves, opening up to a richer consciousness.

The Journey of Transformation: A Spiritual Cleanup of Unwanted Habits
Do you often find yourself held back by the procrastination habits that hinder you from reaching your goals and pursuing your aspirations, leaving you feeling powerless each time?
Do you make a daily commitment to wake up and exercise in the morning, yet often find yourself coming up short?
Does your weight loss plan keep getting postponed...?
Our lives are influenced by a mix of both good and bad habits, each shaping different parts of our identity. We try to change some of these habits, but it's hard to find the right way to do it. Occasionally, we feel lost and helpless amidst these habits, carrying their weight as we continue our journey.
Much like how being worried can sometimes cause stomach aches, habits are the subconscious reflections that come from our inner selves. During this retreat, we'll understand how to make our minds and brains work together, and learn how to use our inner thoughts to make and change habits.
We'll explore our inner thoughts more deeply and practice the skill of getting rid of old habits by teaming up with our inner thoughts to swap out old habits for the power of positive change.
As our journey comes to an end, this transformative experience for spiritual well-being doesn't end here. In our group, we'll continue practicing being aware and changing ourselves. Together, we'll nurture a supportive community dedicated to ongoing growth and positive change.
Sensory Lab: Intuitive Scent Creation and Deep Relaxation

Words, art, movements, and even scents can become a creation that help us express our emotions.
As the journey begins, let your heart settle in meditation. Then try to understand the environment through the sense of touch. This not only helps stabilize our mind but also opens up our perception, making it easier to follow our intuition during the fragrance creation process.
Allow yourself to let ideas flow with your intuition, as you use fragrances to keep a record of how you feel.
Once you return to the community in late autumn, let’s dive into the world of exploring the subconscious. Using scent as the main tool to help you engage in a sensory experience.
