Becoming Still

Who is it for?

Becoming Still Retreat is a 4D3N Silent Retreat, curated specifically for anyone interested in incorporating aspects of stillness into their daily lives, and is comfortable being silent. In a world that constantly pulls us in different directions, cultivating balance and inner calm is essential for one's well-being. A silent retreat in nature offers a unique opportunity to cultivate equanimity through the transformative practice of meditation and self-observation.

Exploring yoga beyond just asana (movements), integrating experiences on and off the mat, dive deep into a subtle internal practice through guided breathwork (pranayama) and meditation (dhyana), disconnect off-grid to reconnect, receive, re-treat and re-member, finding solace through stillness and silence, experience union with the mind-body-soul, a true homecoming nourished and nurtured by nature, surrounded by like-minded souls holding space for one another and walk away with practical tools and methods helping to navigate through Life's everyday challenges. Your inner sanctuary awaits.

Can I come alone?

Absolutely.

Many, if not all of the retreat participants come on their own. As silence is an integral part of the retreat, it really does not matter if you come with company or alone. Many who came with company actually confessed they would prefer to have their own space and enjoyed holding space for one another amidst silence. It is profoundly incredible how relationships can flourish within deep stillness.

I am not comfortable with silence. Can I still join?

Of course.

We do understand some might find it daunting or intimidating to sit with silence, therefore a proper introduction to silence will be elaborated further on the first night which you may then decide should you partake in holding silence. The decision is entirely up to the practitioner however we ask that you also respect others who chose to hold silence. Silence being an integral part of the retreat, it is highly recommended that every participant abide to the retreat guidelines as outlined on the handbook (which will be handed out on the first day) and stay throughout the program for the whole experience. If you simply have other ideas or expectations about the retreat, perhaps this retreat is not for you, and we perfectly understand that.
