“Silent” Retreats for Quieting the Mind
Dates: 16 – 20 November 2025
This ‘silent’ retreat is for all those who wish to deepen their spiritual practice, with the delightful aim of discovering what we really are: the essence of Peace, Joy and Love.
It's not so much about ‘being silent’ as it is ‘experiencing silence’. Silence here is about that feeling of inner peace, unencumbered by cause or reason, that arises when the busy mind calms down. Like the blue sky masked by clouds, when the mind dissolves, our true nature can reveal itself: luminous, conscious, infinitely calm, and quiet.
To help quieten the mind and find your calm expansive nature, you will be invited to keep verbal communication to a minimum during this retreat. Meals and walks will be in silence. We will bring ourselves to the present moment. This (re)discovered sense of presence will help elevate everyday activities from the banal to the sublime.
The daily practice of yoga (postures and meditation), connection with nature, and a calm conducive environment will support this return to presence.
A daily Q&A session will be held each evening to address any questions or insights that may arise.
3pm-6pm
Arrival and check-in at a time of your convenience.

Welcome evening: presentation of The Frog’s House & the notion of silence, followed by a welcome finger-buffet dinner
