This enchanting evening is dedicated to easing us into the weekend with guided meditation sits and spiritual classes. It's a time to let go of the week's stresses, connect deeply with our inner selves, and embrace the tranquility of our forest surroundings.

After a morning of peaceful meditation, we'll transition into a day of service, giving back to the land that sustains us. Whether it's planting, building, or nurturing, every hand makes a difference. As the sun sets, the rhythm rises — our drum circle under the moonlight is where beats and hearts align, creating unforgettable moments of unity and celebration.

SUNDAY – Day of Silence Retreat

10:00AM Arrival

Did you ever notice, the words "silent" and "listen" are the same letters, just arranged differently? Silence is powerful, it commands your attention.  It may make you uncomfortable, because it is so easy to fill the void with noise.  You long for peace and quiet, yet frightened of it at the same time.  

Being silent reveals opportunities to listen.   

To listen to the innerworkings of your mind and find peace, you have to sit, become still and listen.  In time, the noise becomes nothing but noise.  If you listen long enough, a separation occurs. 

You can find a beautiful wellspring of peace and quiet within you, just be silent and listen. A unique opportunity to be silent awaits!  See details below and join Rene and Bala in the forest!
