Silent Retreat Hero

Silent Retreat Dates TBD

We’ll begin by joining in circle after dinner on Friday eve where all will be warmly welcomed and logistics reviewed. We’ll be in silence for most of Saturday and part of Sunday. 

Host: Leslie Fell

Replenish Yourself and Your Creativity

This retreat is ideal for those wanting to:

  • pause and reflect
  • rest and replenish
  • take time out from the hustle and bustle of life
  • take time to turn inward
  • attend to their creative endeavour such as a writing project without being distracted
  • have nourishing meals provided giving more time to be 'in retreat'
  • having a safe, peaceful, inspiring and nourishing space to work on your creations or to rest

We’ll begin by joining in circle after dinner on Friday eve where all will be warmly welcomed and logistics reviewed. We’ll be in silence for most of Saturday and part of Sunday. Some meals such as dinner may not be in silence so that we can have some time to connect with like-minded and like-hearted kin. Leslie will determine the times in silence which will be determined by the participants’ needs. The space will be gently held and Leslie will be available for individual consultation/guidance should this be desired.
