Day long Silent Retreat (TEMPLATE)

Step away from noise and distraction, and into a day of intentional silence.

Zoetic River’s One DaySilent Retreats are designed as a deep, yet approachable, immersion into mindfulness — a chance to slow down, turn inward, and see what there is to be gleaned from the great teacher of eternity, Silence.

Over the course of the day, you’ll be guided through a day long schedule of sitting meditation, walking meditation, and mindful eating (as well as a few surprises).
With the support of silence, each moment expands out and becomes an opportunity to notice the energy of the heart, steady the mind, and reconnect with Presence.

On retreat, clarity arises; in silence, the nervous system retunes itself; with kind mindful awareness, the heart opens. By the end of the day, many participants describe feeling both deeply rested and profoundly awake.

Our retreat center — surrounded by the beauty of nature — offers the ideal setting for the practice of Silent Retreat. Whether you are new to meditation or a ways down the path, a Silent Day Long Retreat at Zoetic River is an invitation to return to yourself.
