Sound + Silence Retreats
Our InvitationThis immersive escape will invite you to observe and quiet the chatter in your mind through silent listening, gentle yoga, intentional breath work, holistic healing, and meditating under the towering trees. Our Sound + Silence Retreats in the Upper Skagit Valley are designed to restore balance and bring you back to a sense of deep peace.
❋ Intentional StructureWe ask all guests at this retreat to refrain from talking, phones, reading and writing, and truly explore a silent mind. While this can be challenging, it is also freeing. We will be on hand and available to help lead you. We’ll restore balance and lead the mind to a place of deep peace with soothing daily sound baths.
❋ Connective EnergyConnection is an integral part of the process, both to the natural space around you and to your inner space. This is truly a time where the wilderness around you and the wildness within intersects.
❋ Expert GuidanceSam has extensive experience as a sound practitioner. He was trained at the Seattle Sound Temple and leads monthly community sound baths, private sessions, and teaches introductory classes. He has devoted many years to the study and embodiment of spiritual wisdom.
Michelle is a licensed LMHC, Somatic Trauma Psychotherapist and a registered yoga and meditation teacher in Hatha/Vinyasa, Kundalini, and Yoga Nidra. She also in Reiki Level 1 certified and has a background in forest therapy and spirituality.
❋ A Restorative SpaceSurrounded by the lush magic of an old growth forest we will surrender to the tranquility of nature. Our events are held on our 100% solar powered nature sanctuary. We are nestled on 5 private acres with mountain views, colorful gardens and flowering meadows and old growth trees, everything here runs on sunlight.
We like to call this experience “elevated camping”: you can rinse off under our outdoor shower, unwind in the wood-fired sauna, and take a soak in the cedar hot tub under a canopy of stars.
Nature is our co-facilitator—expect a curious deer, the songs of frogs or owls (definitely a rooster or two), and probably some bugs and spiders, please come prepared for all aspects that nature has to offer.
You’ll get a cozy rustic cabin, simple healthy meals, and light guidance from your hosts. The first night we will give a tour of the property, answer questions and do group introductions over dinner before we commence the silence with a sound bath. Two days of quiet will follow until we break the silence together on Sunday morning with an opportunity to share insights and experiences with fellow retreat goers.
You will have the opportunity to book a reiki session or massage while at the retreat, all of our retreats are drug and alcohol free.
There is no set fee for this retreat, we will just ask you to donate at the end whatever amount you choose.
