Yes! This retreat is for people of all levels of experience. If you have never practiced meditation before, the New Year is a great time to start! Of course, in the beginning, practicing meditation can feel difficult as we may have a busy mind and we are learning tools to come into stillness. We will give you some basic anchors for the practice in the Welcome Circle and hopefully you will learn how to settle yourself into a very deep space throughout this retreat. Some sessions of meditation will be guided and you will be given instructions to follow. Other sessions will be completely silent. We will also have some sessions where we will play sound healing instruments such as crystal bowls that help us to drop deeper into meditation.

Yes. If you have physical limitation and cannot sit with crossed legs, we can help you to find a comfortable way of sitting on the first day before we go into silence, using bolsters & blocks to support you. You can also sit on a chair for meditation sessions. You are also welcome to change your position at any time during the session, including lying down, provided that you do not go to sleep.

Yes! This retreat is for people of all levels of experience. If you have never practiced yoga before, the New Year is a great time to start! Our sessions will be accessible practices, designed to move energy and bring the group towards meditation. Some will be very gentle, others may give you a sweat. You will be welcome to rest in between poses and we will give variations that will make more challenging postures easier, so you can set your own pace and take care of your body.

No. The first 3 days will be silent, we will cross over into the new year and break the silence for the last 2 days. Facilitators will be using their voices to guide the practices when necessary and will be in silence other times unless communicating logistical things. If you have any major issue that is coming up for you that you need to discuss during the silence, we are available to hear and support you in any way we can.

Ideally you can switch off your phone for the duration of the retreat and get a real digital detox. If you want to keep your phone on as a clock, we ask that your phone stays in Aeroplane Mode in your bag and serves as a clock only. We will ring a bell at 6:10am, 20mins before the first morning meditation session so that you will not need to set your alarm on your phone. You cannot bring your phone into the meditation space for any of the sessions for any reason. Bells will be also be rang to communicate when meals are ready and when sessions are about to start so you can fully surrender into presence. We also understand that everyone has a life and a family and a job, and if you need to make contact with anyone we ask that you can keep that to the minimum and only use your phone in the reception of the retreat center only, not in the rooms. We are creating a shared frequency and we would love it if we could just hold full presence to the here and now and put the phones away for this time.

No, none of the sessions are compulsory. We really hope that you want to be there for the whole program, and we also totally support you taking time out for yourself. If you need to skip any of the sessions that is okay.
