One Day Silent Retreat in the Beautiful Surrey Hills

Enjoy a day of silence and stillness, rest and reflection on our bespoke day retreat.

With Marion and Martin Young and Jan Collis

• Do you sometimes feel as if you are running on empty with no time or space to reflect and recharge?
  
• What if you can spend a day away from the busy-ness of life, with nothing to take care of, and be gently guided through a day of rest, relaxation and personal reflection time?
  
• And what if this was in an atmosphere of peaceful tranquility, in companionable silence, in a retreat house with a deep and palpable presence of stillness?

We specialise in creating sacred and beautiful energetic spaces for you to stop and breathe, unwind and relax and connect with your own source of peace and wisdom.

With a mixture of guided meditations, time for personal reflection and walking in the grounds, and expert guidance on how to 'be' in slience, you will be able to efforlessly relax and experience the many benefits for yourself.

This is what previous participants have said about our retreats.

"I touched a profound bliss within that I had never experienced before, it was life changing."

Sally Brockway

"I was totally shocked how powerful I found a single day spent in silence was. Your retreats should be on the NHS!"

Julie B

"I loved last Saturday! I had never been on a silent retreat like that before and it surpassed any expectations I had. It helped me to truly experience the depth of this god-like energy within me. I felt connected to its gentle power, and how that power connects us all. The feeling has not left me."

Honorine Moynihan

"Thank you so much for a wonderful day – I loved all of it, I resonated with all that you offered and said. Indeed being part of a group was the key as I just don't have the discipline to gift this to myself… even though I know how beneficial it is. I got all the learning (and rest) that I needed and am now completely sold on the intention to take regular conscious rests!"

"I loved the retreat. I wanted to stay at leaving time – so perhaps in the future an overnight retreat would be a real treat!"

We will disconnect from technology: Our busy lives cause our minds and bodies to be on hyper- alert, which is stressful and tiring. Escape from your phone and let us guide you into the quietude of silence (we offer an emergency number in case you need to be contacted).

After the retreat:

It is highly recommend that when you go home, you keep your evening as quiet and restful as possible. You are likely to feel in a very quiet, peaceful and still place, so your mind and body may appreciate the time to integrate and enjoy the experience.

About your facilitators, Marion & Martin Young and Jan Collis:

We are passionate about the wonderful benefits of spending time on retreat and in silence especially. Marion has been offering one-day, residential and online retreats and meditation classes for many years, and together with Martin and Jan has facilitated retreats for hundreds of people.

We specialise in guiding others to find the quiet within and how to get the most out of this precious opportunity to step away from the world for awhile. You can read more on Marion's website www.marionyoung.co.uk
