Listen to the Silence

Service Description

In a world of constant noise, stillness has become a rare and radical act. Listen to the Silence – A Silent Retreat at CAIM | August 9-11th or November 22–24th, 2025 What happens when we stop speaking, stop striving and simply allow ourselves to be? "Listen to the Silence" is a 3-day silent retreat in Scotland, set at CAIM, our woodland sanctuary nestled at the foot of the Scottish Highlands. Surrounded by 5.5 acres of wild woodland, this retreat offers a deep pause, a chance to step away from the noise of modern life and come home to yourself. Through the practice of noble silence, guided meditation, gentle breathwork and time spent in nature, we invite you to explore what arises when the distractions fall away. This retreat draws gentle inspiration from Vipassana meditation, creating a sacred container for rest, reflection and healing. There is no need to perform, achieve or explain. Just come as you are, whether you’re new to these practices or a long-time seeker of silence. You’ll be held in a peaceful rhythm of stillness, nourishing food, soft woodland trails and simple being. What’s included: • Daily guided meditation • Introduction to noble silence • Digital detox • Sauna & optional cold water • Spacious time in nature and your own inner world • Plant-based, gluten and dairy-free meals • Woodland cabin accommodation among the trees • Optional breathwork, journaling and mindful movement This silent retreat is for anyone longing to exhale. For the burnt out, the soul-weary, the curious and the quietly courageous. Come and listen. To the silence. To the forest. To your breath. To your life.
