This is a 5-day meditation retreat with 3 full days of silence. You will spend your time in nature and with horses, supported throughout by structured meditation and gentle guidance.
Silence gives you the space to meet yourself without the usual distractions of daily life. When there is no constant external feedback, you begin to notice how much of your identity is shaped by the world around you. In that stillness, old labels and assumptions can fall away, allowing you to see yourself more clearly.
It is also a chance to observe how you respond to others and to life itself. Many of our reactions are tied to deeper unconscious wounds, often rooted in the past. In silence, and with the support of deep, structured meditation, these patterns can surface and begin to release.
As you move through this process, feelings such as anger, grief, or irritation are no longer projected outward. Instead, they can be felt, understood, and healed. The result is a quieter mind, greater clarity, and a deeper connection to peace, joy, love, compassion, and creativity.
Sunnycote, 39 Silverdale Road, Arnside. LA23 2EL
You will stay in a beautiful, spacious Victorian house near the sea in Arnside. This part of Arnside and Silverdale is designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, on the edge of the Lake District National Park. The bay, with its views of the Lake District mountains, along with woodland and hills, is only a short walk away.
The house sleeps 16 in total, but for this silent retreat bookings are limited to 10 guests. This creates more peace and space, reduces pressure on the kitchen and bathrooms, and also allows 4 people the option of a private room.
Beautifully decorated in a quirky bohemian style, the house offers plenty of places to rest, including a completely private walled garden. There are books to enjoy, and in your free time you are encouraged to walk, swim, and journal.
The house is within walking distance of the train station, with a short train journey from Lancaster. Arnside is also close to the M6: leave at Carnforth and continue for around 15 minutes along country lanes. The nearest airport is Manchester, with regular trains from Manchester to Lancaster, where you can change for Arnside.
You must arrive at 4pm on Day 1. You will have one hour to check in, dinner is served at 5pm, and the welcome circle begins at 6pm, finishing around 9pm.
