All-Inclusive private SILENT RETREATS.
Silence starts with not talking, but it’s so much more.
A vow of silence serves as a sacred commitment to the transformative power of stillness and inner contemplation, inviting retreat attendees to embark on a journey of self-discovery and spiritual awakening in the sanctuary of silence.
At our retreat, we kindly request that guests maintain a serene atmosphere by refraining from communication with one another, including minimal eye contact, and refraining from touching others. In the spirit of embracing silence, we also ask that guests refrain from using books, phones, or music during their stay. While this guideline may initially seem strict, it's intended to help you fully immerse yourself in the present moment and avoid distractions from your authentic experiences.
However, we wholeheartedly encourage journaling as a means of self-expression and reflection during your retreat. Feel free to capture your thoughts, insights, and reflections in your journal as you embark on your journey of self-discovery and inner exploration. This practice can deepen your connection to yourself and enhance your overall experience of tranquility and renewal.
Secret Location - As part of the unique nature of our 3-Day (private) silent retreats, we have chosen a serene and semi-secluded location in the Whitewater Region, 1:30 from Ottawa near Pembroke that fosters deep introspection and connection with nature. To preserve the tranquillity of our surroundings and ensure the utmost privacy for our participants, we have decided not to disclose the exact address of the retreat location publicly.

I am deeply passionate about the transformative power of silent retreats.
My love for this practice stems from my own experiences as a lay resident at the Amaravati Buddhist monastery in London, UK.
During times when I needed to rejuvenate, reset, and reconnect with myself, the monastery provided a sanctuary where I could gain clarity and address burnout and stress.
The serene atmosphere and the practice of silence allowed me to dive deep within, nurturing my mind, body, and spirit. It is my heartfelt desire to create a similar space for you, where you can find solace, introspection, and renewal amidst life's demands.
