Exploring the line in the sand: A Silent Retreat

Step into a sanctuary of stillness and self-discovery in the tranquil Dorset countryside. Exploring the Line in the Sand is a retreat designed to guide you through life’s profound transitions, offering a sacred space to reflect on the edges that define and shape our existence.

This transformative experience will invite you to explore the delicate threshold between the present and the future, silence and expression, life and legacy.

Silence holds the power to reveal clarity, nurture peace, and create space for deeper truths to emerge. During our time together, one day will be devoted entirely to silence, allowing you to immerse yourself in reflection and connect with the sacredness of life’s transitions.

In the stillness, you’ll uncover insights that words often obscure—finding renewal, perspective, and purpose.

What is the purpose of the Silent Retreat?

This retreat is designed to help you pause, reflect, and reconnect with yourself through intentional silence and mindful practices. It provides a sacred space to explore life’s transitions, gain clarity, and cultivate inner peace.

What does a day in silence involve?

The day of silence will include a carefully guided schedule of activities such as mindfulness practices, journaling, nature walks, and self-reflection. There will be no talking, but you’ll be supported with written prompts, structured sessions, and moments of rest to navigate the experience with ease.

What if I’ve never practiced silence before?

No prior experience is needed. The retreat is designed to guide and support you through the process. Many attendees find the experience deeply refreshing and transformative, even if it’s their first time engaging in silence.

How many people will attend the retreat?

To ensure an intimate and nurturing atmosphere, the retreat will be limited to a small group of participants (6–12 people). This allows for personal attention and a sense of community.

What should I bring to the retreat?

You’ll receive a full packing list upon registration, but essentials include comfortable clothing, a journal and pen, any personal toiletries, and outdoor shoes for nature walks. You’re also welcome to bring personal items like a favourite blanket or cushion for added comfort.

Will there be time to interact with others?

Outside of the silent day, there will be opportunities to connect with fellow participants during guided discussions, meals, and shared activities. However, the focus of the retreat is on reflection and personal growth, so conversations will be intentional and mindful.

How will meals be handled during the silent day?

Meals will be provided in a serene, mindful environment. You’ll be encouraged to eat slowly and attentively, savouring the nourishment and allowing the experience of silence to deepen.

Can I still participate if I find silence challenging?

Absolutely. It’s natural to feel apprehensive about silence if it’s unfamiliar. Our team will provide tools, guidance, and gentle support to help you ease into the experience and discover its transformative benefits.

Is the retreat religious?

The retreat is designed to be inclusive and accessible, regardless of spiritual or religious beliefs. While spiritual themes may arise, they are shared in a way that invites personal interpretation and respect for all paths.

What is the refund or cancellation policy?

Details about refunds and cancellations will be provided upon registration. In general, we recommend booking only if you’re certain you can attend, as spaces are limited and in high demand.

How do I prepare for the retreat?

To prepare, we suggest setting aside time for quiet reflection in the days leading up to the retreat. You’ll also receive an email with guidance and practical tips on how to make the most of your experience.
