Personalized Private Retreat

This program is a 2 day retreat in Montecito, California.  Extra days can be added.

Enjoy our private garden and meditation room. Montecito is appoximately 1.5 Hours from Los Angeles.  Address given upon registration.

Your daily retreat program includes teachings and guidance on heart-centered silence with spiritual teacher Ruth Davis.  She offers private meditation sessions daily along with garden walks and private spiritual talks on any topic you are interested in, from 9:30-11:30 each day.  Take time for a silent walk along Ladera Lane or the Pacifica Graduate Institute grounds.  Ruth also teaches meditative Tai Chi movement and energy work.

A Silent Stay meditation retreat gives you the opportunity to slow down and unplug from the noise and demands of everyday life.  Ruth will guide you into heart-centered presence from the vedic tradition, teach you the Daoist principals of Yin/Yang.  And surrounded by nature, your whole nervous system can rest, renew!

Our approach emphasizes simplicity, heartfulness, and slow living. The daily program provides a gentle container for you to be able to let go of effort and practice receiving the present moment. Letting go of the busy mind, the retreat is all about the simplicity of just Being.

The beauty of silence is that it is spacious and universal. Our non-denominational retreats allow each person to feel and listen to what is naturally sacred within. Resting in silence, guided by the intention of receiving the gifts of quiet, we find a deep commonality and community in the Heart.

We look forward to you joining us in the peaceful renewal of silence.
