Program
This seven-day silent retreat is a promise of freedom you have never experienced. Free yourself from harmful patterns seen and unseen, reconnect with your inner child, heal old wounds, and recalibrate your compass to create the life you deserve. This is the path to the heart and transformational self-love. Throughout the week, a small team of expert facilitators will provide you with tools to conduct a thorough self-audit. Each day brings a new theme for self-reflection and private time with a compassionate listener who can help you release the emotions of the previous day.
This tried-and-proven process will leave you lighter, stronger, and with new clarity. Past limitations will fall away, as you learn to approach the world again with an open heart. Rediscover the true you who has been hiding behind old patterns, wounds, and programming. This is real freedom. This unique healing-learning opportunity is being co-hosted by The Easy Yogi and The Gaia Revolution and a small panel of expert healer-facilitators.
This retreat is a commitment to take the time and space to be in uninterrupted silence for a week of your life. No electronics, no distractions, no loved ones but for yourself in communion with yourself. And they can promise that as a result, your life will change. Caroline Ward and the team of compassionate listeners and mentors who have many years of experience using silence as a tool for inner growth will hold your hand through this life-changing, weeklong event.
There is pretty much the same timeline daily. The rest of the day will be private time and homework for participants to work through in silence and time for themselves to walk or swim or relax, all in silence. Let them know if this works, a more detailed will have more topic-related items for each day.
