A detox from busyness: It was well worth every penny and the time/effort. Disconnecting for a few days can be life-changing as it gives the voice deep within yourself time to speak. The 'hard stop from the noisy world' gives your soul a chance to reset by breaking destructive patterns you might not even be aware of until you stop. I appreciate the design of the daily schedule designed to bring us together, offering just enough guidance, a bit of yoga, guided meditation, and just basking in the silence of meditating together.... read more

This was a life changing experience for me -to disconnect from all the noise in the world and tune into the sounds within, letting go of the old and embracing the new. The silence allowed me to find my inner child self, who brought me to tears with how much love he has shown me that resides within us all. Ruth & Bruce are the sweetest, most loving humans I have ever met. You instantly feel comfortable in their presence. I feel everyone can benefit from a silent stay retreat. Much love from Matthew Booth

My room (twin bed, shared bathroom) was spartan but comfortable, and I enjoyed having my window cracked open to hear the frogs and b... read more

I did a 4 day retreat here. It was good to be in silence for the first day or so but I soon became aware of a very unhealed energy from one of the workers who not only gave off this energy but intruded on me by knocking on my door and asking if I was okay. They can't handle being in their own energy and honoring others' processes. There's too much control and not alot of surrender. I've done dozens of intensive silent meditation retreats of 5-10 days in the Buddhist tradition and had many deep experiences in these. I don't b... read more
