Rest your mind in the quiet of your heart

Our silent retreats are precious days free from your daily story and all that you are doing.  In the quiet you can open to an inner state of love and beauty.  These qualities are always present but generally get covered up with daily life activities. The gift of silence is having nothing to do and nothing to say. 
Upcoming Retreats & More Information

I had been attending various Silent Retreats for over 10 years before I finally found the magic that is Silent Stay. That very first retreat was such a profoundly transformative and life-changing experience, and with every retreat thereafter my inner peace, my healing, my spiritual practice, my growth, my self-love and compassion has deepened, and my light and my heart continue to expand.   

​Ruth and Bruce teach us how to take these practices home with us.

Thank you eternally, Ellen
