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.

" 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."

The Mindful Kitchen

"You look tired today. Have you been under a lot of stress recently?"

"You look great today! Is there anything you want to share with us?”

Many times, our appearance reflects our mind, thoughts, diet, and lifestyle. In the exploration of the mind and body, how can we understand ourselves from the inside out and make positive changes from within?

During the two-day experience, try to explore everything with a non-judgmental and curious heart. Through the guidance of Reiki healing, you will learn to balance and cleanse your own energy and chakras, bringing your thoughts back to the present.

After calibrating your emotions, focus on understanding intuitive eating, reestablishing a healthy relationship between food and body, and letting go of labels imposed by our society. Then, engage in culinary lessons that allow you to experience the healing power of "eating" and savoring the peace that food brings.

At the end of the journey, enjoy yourself in the forest with your companions, close your eyes amidst the autumn trees, and feel the healing brought by nature and Reiki.

Through this journey, we hope to cultivate a strong, evergreen, and cheerful heart.

"I’ve always wanted to experience hypnosis, but does that mean someone else will control me?”

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, let’s gather in a cozy cabin in Yangmingshan.

During the three-day retreat, we will explore hypnosis in two different ways, with everything happening under free will. There’s no need to worry about being influenced by others, just focus on letting our consciousness connect with our subconscious.

At the beginning of the journey, we embark on a path of mindfulness, seeking guidance from diverse perspectives. Here, we release rigid definitions and constraints, enabling our hearts to expand and warmly embrace the unknown.

Under the guidance and exploration of hypnosis, we will see our own stories when we open up our inner expansiveness and experience inner peace and joy from the inside out.

Next, through the guidance of chanting, we approach hypnosis in a different way. The healing sounds of the kalimba, Amazon shakers, guitar, and shamanic drum will help us fully relax, allowing our perceptual abilities and subconscious to awaken in the cool autumn forest.

No matter where we come from or whether you have any prior experience in hypnosis, you can approach it from a new perspective. Together, we can enjoy a journey through the subconscious, and discover a deeper connection with the essence of who we are.

Have you ever thought about understanding Qi through the Eastern way of healing, and understanding energy field from the Western way of healing?
