Why Retreat in Silence?
Zoetic offers a container for you to slow down, breathe, and be. Zoetic Silen Retreats encourage participants to engage fully with the present moment, cultivating a sense of peace and clarity that extends beyond the retreat experience. Each retreat is limited to a cozy group of 10 participants to ensure intimacy and personalized support and every element of the program is carefully curated to enhance your experience by eliminating distractions and providing the ideal conditions for achieving the meditative state.
Our team of experienced guides and lifelong practitioners—who are also on retreat with you—support the energetic container of mindfulness by practicing functional silence and only speaking when necessary to support the program and practitioners.Your retreat experience is further enhanced by Zoetic’s indoor and outdoor pets - 8 miniature goats, 1 giant house bunny, 2 friendly cats and 3 sweet pups.

Important Participant Guideline
To honor the integrity and depth of the silent retreat experience, all participants are required to attend as individuals. This means that attendees may not sign up or participate in the same retreat with friends, family members, or anyone they know personally.
Sharing the retreat space with someone you know can unintentionally disrupt the inner stillness and sense of solitude that are essential to this practice. By registering, you agree to respect this guideline and commit to attending the retreat independently. Thank you for helping us preserve the sacred container of silence and reflection for all participants.

Meet your guide:
I cannot imagine, nor would I want to live, a life without mindfulness. That is how precious the practices are to me, and also how effective I’ve found them to be in helping me deal with anxiety and depression. A side effect that was equally valuable was that my connection to myself, and the world around me, grew incredibly strong. This increase in connection has had far reaching effects in my life. Perhaps that will be true for you as well.
I know the practice works because I actively practice, every day. Sometimes formally, sometimes not, but as much as is necessary, because for me, it really works.
If you also have challenges around anxiety and stress, if you struggle with connection, self-love and compassion, co-dependency, depression, addiction to screens or substances, Silent Retreat is for you.
Some of those were challenges I carried with me when I arrived at the doorway. The strategies we encourage on silent retreat at Zoetic helped me to step through the door into a life where joy and true presence are available.
Mindfulness meditation has taught me that when I am very still, any moment can be a doorway for my original nature to emerge. You don’t have to do anything too special, just paying attention to the moment, on purpose, non judgmentally.
I was able to make significant improvements in my own health and well-being through a serious, but lighthearted commitment to a mindfulness practice. Sharing the best of what I have learned over the last 20 years with others is one of the reasons Zoetic exists.
If those are not familiar struggles, but changing your habit patterns and making better choices based on your values and beliefs is of interest to you, then also please reach out and reserve your space. If you are looking at this page, if you have an inkling that there might be something more to life, Silent Retreat is probably for you.
