Is a Retreat Right for You?

We’re asked to absorb more than our attention was ever meant to carry. Every expanding to-do list. Breaking news. Endless scrolling. Everyone half-present, everywhere. Even moments that should feel human, like meals, conversations, and rest, become fragmented and rushed. The result isn’t just busyness. It’s disorientation.

A retreat is a deliberate pause. Permission to put the phone down. To stop reacting. To slow the pace. To give yourself a break. Nothing to keep up with. Nothing to manage.

We provide the container. The schedule is set. The guidance is steady. You just need to show up.

And if you do, like many others before you, you may leave thinking, “Wow...didn’t realize how much I needed that.”


Who This Is For

If you are completely new to meditation, our retreats may not be the best fit. Most participants arrive with one of the following:

  • A few months of regular meditation practice

  • Experience attending a previous silent retreat

  • Completion of an MBSR course or similar training


Why Online

No commuting, no airports, no added complexity, and no added cost. Our retreats allow you to step away from daily demands without the hassle of travel logistics.  You get a clear schedule and structure. We help you set simple boundaries to turn your home into a silent sanctuary. 


What a Retreat Is Like

Our certified instructors, trained in the Open MBSR framework, guide you throughout the retreat. You simply show up and follow along. Days include sitting meditation, mindful movement, walking meditation, and silent meals. Silence is the primary container, with an optional shared reflection at the end.
