The retreat

Silence · meditation · digital detox

This is our most demanding retreat. From day two onward, the group holds noble silence. Meals are taken together in stillness. Teaching is given in the evening only, then absorbed.

By day five, the nervous system finally settles into something most modern bodies have never experienced.
