In the new year, we gather at our home to purify our minds and bodies, replenish our energy, and explore our inner universe. Built upon the foundation of Eastern traditional wisdom, we integrate the energy principles of body feng shui, the healing power of Usui Reiki, and the serene practice of meditation. Through diverse energy guidance and varying perspectives, we embark on a spiritual journey back to our authentic selves.

"Where there is qi, there is feng shui." Unlike spatial feng shui, we will explore the energy generated within our own bodies, sense its flow and stagnation, become aware of our body's suppleness and tension, and practice letting go.

Through body feng shui, we decode the mysteries of our internal energy and listen to our body's messages, becoming conscious of physical discomfort. With Usui Reiki guidance, we experience the warmth of life force energy flowing through our palms, opening the heart chakra and connecting with love, allowing physical discomfort to flow and dissipate. Through sound meditation, we settle scattered thoughts, observe the present moment, and rediscover our inner peace and strength.

Once our energy is calibrated and balanced, we can create healthy connections with others.

"The words you speak create your world." We practice neutral, conscious communication, observing every word we speak, becoming aware of the world we are creating, and thereby adjusting and aligning how we wish to shape our daily lives in the new year.

Enjoy the clarity and purity here, feel the flow in tranquility, awaken a dormant abundance of energy, and join us on this special journey at the start of the year to prepare for the year ahead.

Do you remember the last time you truly felt happy and laughed out loud?

This October, join us at the North Coast where art and nature merge and resonate with laughter. We will wash away long-accumulated fatigue with pure joy and shed the burdens of daily life.

First, we will journey through time, immersing ourselves in sacred songs from around the world, opening all the senses needed for this journey.

Next, we will explore the mysteries of the seven chakras. Each type of laughter acts as a key, unlocking the corresponding energy center within the body. From gentle smiles to hearty laughter, feel every cell in your body stretch out in joy, returning to a state of ultimate relaxation.

When we let go of all labels and restraints, it's as if we've returned to childhood, laughing freely without any reservations. Laughter echoes in the air, spreading from one person to another, creating a sea of joy.

Finally, we end with a laughter meditation and quiet reflection. Explore the landscape of your inner world with your own voice, bathing in pure frequencies. Gradually, everything returns to serenity.

This laughter-filled experience of awareness will take away all worries and anxiety. We will return to our lives filled with energy and joy, eagerly awaiting the next gathering.

The golden autumn days invite us to this artistic sanctuary in the northern coast. Hidden within the verdant mountains, sunlight filters through the leaves like gentle hands, caressing every inch of skin, bringing a touch of warmth to the senses.

Following the gentle guidance, we use the simplest, purest sounds to retune the rhythm of life. Immersed in the resonant waves of singing bowls, they wash away long-held anxiety and worries, restoring inner peace and balance.

As our senses gradually awaken, creativity flows like a spring. We let go of inner tension, embrace each inspiration, receive the purification from crystals, and freely express various imaginations and creativity. We enter a state of flow with no external judgment, leaving us united with our present creation.

Then, we embark on an encounter with art and mindfulness: the finesse of the artwork is not the focal point; what matters is the focus and breakthrough of self-imposed limitations during the creative process. When we release the fear of "not being able to paint '' and the standards of "good" art, crossing over self-imposed and external barriers, true healing quietly occurs.

Emotions dance with the strokes of the brush, following inner guidance, focusing on personal feelings rather than others' opinions. Each stroke is an exploration and acceptance of the self. As ink blends with paper, inner unease and anxiety dissipate, leaving behind a new understanding and appreciation of oneself.

This flowing artistic awareness experience allows the healing touch of sound and art to soothe our hearts, helping us gain a deeper awareness of ourselves. With this renewed sense of balance and joy, we return to daily life, opening up infinite possibilities with a fresh perspective.

At the end of summer, we would like to invite our members to come back home and gather in a secret corner of the city: Twilight Island, for a journey of mind and body rejuvenation.

In a serene place surrounded by tranquil mountain scenery, we reunite with our Soul Barn family and let go of the business of everyday life. In this retreat, you can find understanding, support, and empathy, feel free to share and release, and experience the deepest peace within.

Wearing blindfolds, we savor private chef-prepared dishes in the twilight. Have you ever dined in the dark? Are you curious about what the dishes look like? Starting from your taste buds, open up all your senses and experience them in detail. Follow the guidance instructor to try different dining rhythms and methods, listen to the stories behind the dishes, and explore the connections between each ingredient and the environment, personal emotions, inner self, and bodily sensations.

After various interesting explorations at the twilight dinner, let us return to ourselves even more, enriching us back to daily life.

“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.

Do you remember the profound experience of being fully present and deeply connected with your partner?

In life's hustle, we often overlook the opportunities for heartfelt conversations with our beloved.

Seize a weekend day off to invite your partner to the serene forests of New Taipei. Together, relish the tranquility and intimate connection unique to partners.

Nestled amidst lush greenery lies a serene cabin, a sanctuary for delightful surprises.

Embark on partner yoga, supporting each other with gentle strength, nurturing trust, and calmness.

Gaze into each other's eyes, exploring emotions and deepening intimacy. Practice silent connection, savoring every moment.

As the journey comes to an end, silently embrace the transformative power of touch, rekindling a sacred connection.

In this shared retreat, take a break from life's demands, replenish spirits, and carry the warmth of these shared experiences back into your lives.

During the transit between Spring and Summer, gather with Soul Barn in a quiet place surrounded by mountains and trees, bask in the warmth of the sunlight through the branches, and feel the gentle breeze with the warmth of the sun.

Following gentle guidance, let’s place ourselves in the midst of the oscillating waves of the singing bowls and find balance from within.

As our five senses gradually open up, our creativity emerges from the heart, breaking free from self-imposed limitations. In the presence of pure crystals, let’s freely embrace nature and create freely through stability and groundedness.

This unique form of meditation centers around art that is designed to be intuitive and be integrated into daily life. Let’s explore our inner light and allow emotions to flow with each brush stroke - dissolving inner stress and anxiety in the realm of water and ink.

Experience the connection between body, mind, and emotions in creation with nature. Through the healing power of sound and art, self-awareness and deep relaxation will come with a balanced body and mind that we can return to in our daily lives.

In the early spring, let’s meet in a quiet place in the north and tread on the ground with our feet, wander in the forest, and let thesunshine warm up our body.

Follow the gentle guidance to readjust and realign ourselves. After chakra tuning, we are rejuvenated by Reiki healing to the body and mind - washing away our exhaustion, gently putting down the pressure on our shoulders, and finding back our long lost balance.

In this journey of body awareness, Soul Barn integrates Kundalini sound flow meditation and Shaman breathing meditation. Following the pace of the guide, we practice a different form of meditation where we deeply observe and care for every inch of our skin, every thought and consciousness, and feel the connection between the chakras, body and emotion. Let the body, mind and spirit connect closely with all natural entities.

Let go of your anxiety and worries, return to our daily routines with a refreshed body and mind after deep healing and experience all the new and exciting possibilities that life offers.

On a tranquil afternoon near the North Coast of Taiwan, we organized a mindfulness journey led by "Cacao" for those who have no outlet for anxiety and tension.

In life, there are always people around us who help us realize our qualities and talents, giving us advice on the possibilities we can try in life.

However, those guidance might actually turn into chains that bind us into what the society expects of us and restrain us from following what we really want.

Join us in the community while you go on a journey of self-exploration.

Instructors will lead meditation and breathing practice to awaken our intuitions. While you’re beside the tree, listen to the rhythm of nature, as you feel the blood flowing in our bodies.

We will be using the Human Design System of "Life Roles" and "Four Types" as a map for self-exploration and self-understanding. Through every observation, we can analyze the most suitable way for us to make decisions.

As the journey ends, we can still act according to our free will, but we will gain the courage to go for the choice that aligns better with ourselves.

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 summer comes to an end, we would like to invite everyone to gather in a secret and tranquil corner of the city: Members' Club, an exclusive venue for settlement members.

On the rooftop surrounded by plants, the settlement is specially arranged for a surprise for our members.

Together, let's return to our inner tranquility, slow down the pace of our heart beat, immerse ourselves in melodies, and gain the power to embrace ourselves.

Attendees will also have the chance to play the handpan and feel its ethereal power. With our companions by our side, we will enter a state of flowing, and experience the joy of living in the present moment.

Here in Soul Barn, we want you to feel safe and united, while we enjoy different activities that make you feel peaceful.

“It often feels like we're not quite sure what things or relationships are best for us. And when we experience negative emotions, we start to wonder if the problem is really with us.”

You know when you're feeling really confused and full of self-doubt? Sometimes you wish that life came with an instruction manual to guide you through it all.

“Human Design” offers insights into a person’s traits and characteristics, guiding people to understand more about themselves.

During the start of summer, gather with the community in the north coast of Taiwan, while exploring peace in nature and immerse in the lush greenery and shimmering waves, we’ll discuss Human Design through different practices.

Gently open up the five senses and perfectly welcome the time of self-exploration in the afternoon. Using the Human Design System as a map, let us rediscover the power of self, and rebuild our relationship with ourselves.

At the end of the day, we will stroll on the warm sandy beach with the silky waves, letting the light of the sunset flow naturally with our breath and body, refreshing our body and mind. And Lastly, bring this beauty back to our daily lives.

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.

"I want to bring along the important people in my life on this journey."

On a peaceful Sunday afternoon, misty rain slowly rises, and sunlight gradually filters through the cracks in the leaves, filling the air with serenity.

August is a warm month for spending time with family. With that important person, slow down your hurried breaths through guided mindfulness practice and wash away your fatigue and stress with your partner. Finally, we will stroll through the tranquil forest, feel the soft earth beneath our feet, and listen to the sounds of nature.

On this important day, give yourself and your family a gift called peace.
