FAQ - Silent Retreat
Are we completely not allowed to talk in a Silent Retreat?
Yes, this is a fully silent journey. Participants will temporarily pause verbal communication throughout the retreat, allowing them to redirect their attention and awareness inward. However, there’s no need to worry—if you have any urgent needs, our professional Guidance Instructors and team members will be on-site to assist you. 😊
I’ve never practiced meditation or attended a mind-body retreat before. Is the Silent Retreat suitable for me?
Absolutely! Whether you’re a first-timer or have prior experience, our three-day, two-night or single-day Silent Retreat offers a unique opportunity for self-awareness and inner exploration. No matter your background, you’ll find your own meaningful experience on this journey.
Will the silent retreat feel uncomfortable?
At first, it might take some time to adjust since we’re used to communicating through words. However, as the journey progresses and you follow the guided experience, you’ll begin to feel a deep sense of inner peace and heightened focus. Many participants even find that it becomes more natural and liberating!
What does the daily schedule look like?
The Silent Retreat includes a thoughtfully designed guided experience to help participants deepen self-awareness, find inner calm, and explore their true selves. Activities may include: guided meditation, art therapy, sound healing, darkness awareness practice, gentle yoga, and nature meditation.
Each session may feature different experiences, offering a unique and immersive journey every time.
Who is the Silent Retreat suitable for?
This journey is ideal for anyone seeking to step away from daily distractions, find inner peace, gain clarity, and slow down the pace of life. Whether you want to fully relax, enhance self-awareness, explore your inner world, let go of labels, or simply experience the power of silence, this retreat provides a valuable opportunity for reflection and personal growth.
What changes can I expect after attending the Silent Retreat?
Based on feedback from past participants, many experience clearer thinking, reduced anxiety, and a deeper ability to engage in self-reflection. The retreat often enhances emotional awareness and provides a greater sense of mindfulness in daily life. However, each person’s experience is unique, and the best way to understand its impact is to participate and see for yourself.
Do I need to prepare anything before attending the Silent Retreat?
We recommend making a few adjustments in the days leading up to the retreat. Try to reduce social media usage, limit external distractions, adjust your sleep schedule, and practice short periods of silence to ease into a state of inner focus. Additionally, wearing comfortable clothing and bringing a notebook for personal reflections can help enhance your overall experience.
