Ruth Hailey Barton explains why we need solitude and silence, so perfectly:

Practices of solitude and silence are radical because they challenge us on every level of our existence.

~They challenge us on the level of culture: there is very little in Western culture that supports us in entering into what feels unproductive time for being (beyond human effort) and listening (beyond human thought).

~They confront us on the level of our human relationships: they call us away from those relationships for a time so we can give some undivided attention to ourselves, and to God.

~They challenge us on the level of our soul: in the silence we become aware of inner dynamics we have been able to avoid by keeping ourselves noisy and busy.

~They draw us into spiritual battle: in silence there is the potential for each of us to know our own divinity with such certainty that the competing powers of the ego-self can no longer hold their grip.

I believe we have an innate wiring and an often hidden desire to seek solitude. If we think of all the spiritual masters, retreating into silent—sacred space, is an imperative part of our spiritual evolution:

  • Healing requires us to pause.

  • Acknowledgment requires deep inner awareness.

  • Mastering our senses affords us the ability to become a receptive vessel of wisdom and gnosis.

  • Discernment requires the cultivation of recognizing the sometimes still and small voice of the divine.

  • Grief requires time, space and an ability to hold space for ourselves.

  • Aligning with our soul purpose and our greatest potential or self expression requires inner reflection and excavation.

In retreat, we learn how to get still and meet the hard places within us through various portals or gateways which you’ll learn and practice in our time together.

Retreat is intended to offer a contemplative attitude, an art form of slowing down, reflecting, leaning into the divine, and easing back into ourselves in a way that feels nourishing, not daunting.

Retreat invites you to explore practices which support your inner journey to silence:

Holy Listening

Mindful Awareness

Sanctification of the Body Temple

Anointing

Self Love

Sound Alchemy

Sacred Space

Rose Medicine…and more.

The scent of the Rose of Silence is compelling us to get back to basics, to simplify—to go inwards, to seek refuge in your inner sanctuary. It is with the medicine of the rose from which you will receive all of yourself in the compassionate, gentle and grace-filled enfoldment of the divine feminine.

The rose serves as a balm to sooth the hardened places within us which we easily avoid, distract ourselves from or mask with unhealthy behavioral habits. The rose is a salve to melt away the aches and pains of an overstimulating world.

This is a place which can often times be arduous, scary and neglected due to the distortions of over productivity and external authority.

When we learn to retreat inwards we awaken the universe within and activate our greatest potential for personal truth, sovereignty, purpose soul gifts and passion. This is how we create a new earth. With so much attention on ascension, we could use the wisdom of going back in . Going inwards asks us to integrate all aspects of ourselves through the descent. We learn the importance and wisdom of relieving ourselves, tending to our wounding, holding space for ourselves

Retreat offers you many portals to getting quiet and still, finding peace within and allowing the Mystery to unfold.
