I sat,
I sang,
I cried.”

“Love, care, and intention”
“This retreat was a beautiful experience. I felt so much love, care, and intention in the way it was held. The blend of silence, song, and meditation, the small, intimate group size, the simple nourishing food, and the generosity of spirit from all who gathered contributed to a unique and deep heartfelt retreat.
The land itself was gorgeous and supportive, with thoughtful amenities that made the whole experience smooth and stress free. Highlights for me included daily early morning meditation and song services, held outdoors amidst the trees, a meditative cacao ceremony, singing in the river, and the many luminous moments of song and connection throughout the weekend
I came away with new songs to carry, and profound gratitude and respect for the facilitators as leaders, musicians, and compassionate human beings. This retreat was a gift, and I would love to return again.” — Kelsey
“I now find myself
truly listening”
“I came to the Silence Singing retreat hoping for a deepening of my meditation and musical practices, but what I'm leaving with is actually a profound shift in my entire way of being. I now find myself truly listening so much more to what life is offering me in each unique moment.
This shift was supported by the heartfelt space that was created by Thomas, Satya, and all the participants during the retreat that was intimate, sincere, open and playful. I felt the presence of a deep love and reverence for soulful practice as well as an open-hearted acceptance of everyone exactly as they are that allowed for meaningful healing and creativity to unfold.
I'm left with a feeling of deepest gratitude for my time at Silence Singing and a desire for others who are cultivating more authenticity in their lives to get to experience this offering.” — Blake
“Silence Singing was a safe place for me to exist as I was in that moment without needing to change.
Silence Singing was a safe place for me to exist as I was in that moment without needing to change. With a true foundation of safety, many beautiful gifts came from it into my life. It opened doors to creativity that I didn't know even existed. Plus, the friendship between Thomas and Satya is very sweet and it really shows in the way they facilitate the group. I highly recommend the retreat.— Aruna
