A Pause from the World, A 3-Day Silent Retreat
Description
Take a few days away from the demands and distractions of everyday life and enjoy the opportunity to slow down, turn inward and reconnect with yourself. This introductory silent retreat offers a supportive and unhurried environment to experience the benefits of silence, mindfulness and time in nature, without the demands of a more intensive meditation retreat.
The program includes guided Qigong, meditation, breathwork and forest bathing (Shinrin-Yoku), with periods of silence woven throughout the experience. Sessions are suitable for beginners, with meditation offered in both seated and standing practices. The retreat provides time for reflection, rest and simply being present, without the need for conversation or everyday digital distractions.
Guests stay in private, air-conditioned accommodation and enjoy freshly prepared vegetarian meals, made with wholesome ingredients to nourish the body throughout the retreat. The 3-day silent retreats are bookable within the set dates designated.
Located in the natural surroundings of Bilar, Bohol, Highland offers a peaceful setting for this experience. Transport is not included, but private transfers from the airport, port or nearby accommodation can be arranged separately.
