01jan9:30 am3:30 pmNew Years Day Silent Retreat

Event Details

Bring positive new space and clarity to the new year, and start 2024 CALM and on track.

All of us love and need to retreat from the world occasionally. This auspicious time, when we close
one year and open ourselves to the next, is the perfect opportunity to spend a day in harmony with
yourself and allow your body and being to regenerate. Drop your past year and let it go with ease.

Switch off from your phone, the television, your computer, the radio, and chatter. We live in a world
today where we receive more information in one day that people born 100 years ago got in a life
time! How do we balance that? This day of quiet healing is a rest for all of the senses. A period of
deep silence is observed for the duration of the retreat. The energy of silence and mindfulness
penetrates our flesh and bones, and calmness prevails. In Noble Silence we cultivate higher levels of
hearing, perception, and vision.

Take home valuable techniques and experience a wonderful plethora of nurturing sessions
complimented with aroma therapy to balance the body and mind, and heighten the experience of
relaxation.

• Past & New Year Reflections
• Japa Mala Meditation
• Pranayama
• Neurogenic Tremoring
• Yoga Nidra
• Restorative Yoga
• Formal Meditation
• Vibrational Sound Bath

For the deepest benefit from your one-day silent stress-detox experience, please observe the
following:
• ATTIRE – Wear comfortable clothes you can move and get up and down off the floor in.
Layers are best so that you can regulate your own temperature within the room.
• NOBLE SILENCE – To ensure the deepest release of ‘stress toxicity’ complete silence is
observed during the Retreat. No phones or smart watches.
• BRING – A bottle of water and your own lunch. Herb tea will be offered. (Please note
refrigeration is not available).
• ATTENDANCE – Come prepared to dedicate the entire day to the silent journey. Make
arrangements that will enable you to be available and attentive to the practice without
outside disruption. (Exiting during the lunch break, or making phone calls throughout the
retreat period will interfere with the sensitive energy cultivated during the day).

Shed your 2023 baggage, and experience layers of nourishing guided journeys into the heart of your
existence to set you up for 2024. A day suitable for everyone and recommended for all.

If you’re presently going through a tough time in life, or you just need some time to ‘re-set’ or
cleanse your entire being with a ‘stress-detox’, this one day will make a profound impact. and set you
up for a bright start in the new year.
