Curious about a silent retreat but not quite ready to commit to a whole weekend of silence? Or maybe a little silence sounds good but you’d really like to meet some new like-minded folks and enjoy some juicy conversation, too? A Taste of Silence may be just what you are looking for!

This retreat includes all of the same fundamental elements as our Weekend Group Silent Retreats with just three hours of silence. This "taste of silence" will consist of three one-hour periods of intentional group silence interspersed throughout the weekend.

During the weekend, you'll experience meditation (sitting & walking), yoga practice, Self-Breema classes, and more. Also included are all of your delicious & vital vegetarian meals and vibrant nature. Participants can also add a Breema treatment or Massage Therapy to the weekend with advance scheduling. We are grateful to be able to provide these retreats, which give us the opportunity to practice in both outdoor and indoor spaces. All of these elements support simple presence, vitality and healing. We look forward to having you join in!
