Our immersive live-in Quiet Retreats, held globally for up to 21 days. They offer you the rare opportunity to disconnect and recharge yet connect deeply with your body. Each retreat offers an ideal setting for reconnecting with your core self and engaging in a self-sustaining process of recovery and healing.
Are you feeling drained from constant digital connectivity? Struggling with anxiety? Looking to better understand yourself? Quiet Retreats provide a clear path to transformation with tangible results. Our approach offers you practical tools for lasting change.
Resolve internal conflicts, overcome blockers, and rediscover your innate creativity. You’ll learn to undo the harmful effects of high-pressure work, whilst gaining powerful understandings in self-care and long-term personal recovery and growth.
Quiet Retreats provide all the expert support and personalised guidance needed for intensive healing. As a bonus, first-time participants receive a one-on-one follow-up session with Matthew to ensure a smooth transition back into your daily life.
Quiet Retreats offers a unique experience, specifically designed to provide the optimal environment to clear excess mental thinking, recover from digital overload, and recharge. Instead of constantly connecting, processing information, and interacting with others, you’ll redirect your energy to slowing down, genuinely resting, and reconnecting with your essential self.
Our retreats harness silence as a powerful tool. While the idea of extended quiet time may seem daunting to those used to constant stimulation, you’ll quickly discover that silence is the ultimate respite from the noise of life. Freed from the need to respond to messages or interactions, you can focus entirely on your inner process, catch up with yourself—and find yourself.
For many, this will be the first experience of finding true quiet and the deeper sense of their own being. Participants often express surprise at how easily they adopt and enjoy the stillness of the retreat, finding it far more rejuvenating than any island holiday or beach break. The profound quietness becomes addictive – in a good way, which is why most of our first-time participants, even busy executives, return annually for this rare and satisfying reset.
With 35 years of refinement, the Quiet Retreats programme has developed a powerful, one-of-a-kind environment for personal healing and recuperation.
Our streamlined approach to the retreat experience focuses on:
Our innovative approach is designed to activate your body’s natural healing systems. We don’t rely on mystical concepts or rigid techniques. Instead, we show you how to unlock your innate potential and allow your body’s natural intelligence to self-repair.
We don’t impose external structures, we simply provide the optimal conditions for growth and development. We guide you to unlock your internal wisdom, enabling lasting positive change in your life.
Our approach places you in an environment where your innate potential can flourish naturally. Rather than forcing growth, we guide you to nurture your internal landscape, allowing for organic development and lasting positive change in both your personal and professional life.
Quiet Retreats give you the experiential knowledge you need to maintain and sustain optimum health. You’ll become self-sufficient in your ability to take care of yourself.
Gain a robust set of tools for managing adversity that’s applicable throughout your life and career. This comprehensive enhancement will strengthen your relationships, optimise your health, reduce stress and anxiety, and anchor you in a quiet previously impossible in the fast-paced world we live in.
Life and the decisions we make every minute of every day are all based on and driven by our feelings. You can’t escape them, and you can’t escape your thoughts, so when you learn to live with them and be comfortable with them, life suddenly becomes very different.
We often try to improve our internal state by changing our external world. We constantly seek comfort in our surroundings, hoping it will make us feel better inside. However, when you’re already comfortable inside yourself, you’re comfortable anywhere.
Quiet Retreats shows you how to be comfortable in your own skin, how to be comfortable with the uncomfortable. And this makes you confident in any environment. This is the essence of our transformative approach – you’ll become more solid, attentive, and satisfied with yourself, regardless of external circumstances.
Quiet Retreats facilitates deep repair, resolving long-standing issues, dissipating accumulated stress, and eliminating recurring negative thought patterns. You’ll address core dissatisfactions and replace them with a new sense of fulfilment rooted in your authentic self. By resolving these deep-seated conflicts, you’ll experience a massive performance boost – mental clarity returns, and you begin to genuinely enjoy being yourself. It’s like upgrading to a more powerful, stable version of you.
The recovery process can be challenging at times, but there’s immense relief in allowing yourself to be as you truly are, rather than constantly pushing for improvement or maintaining a facade.
Consider this: The effects of stress, trauma and burnout alter your entire system, changing how you think, act and function in life. These effects manifest as tensions, discomfort, and anxiety in your body, embedded with deeply disturbing sensations.
Quiet Retreats enable your body’s natural healing process, allowing it to safely release these accumulated tensions and recover your optimal state of being. They recover how you feel without this inside of you.
Quiet Retreats are hosted across Europe, Asia, and Australia, offering immersive experiences lasting up to 21 days. Our minimum stay– 7-days, ensures a genuine reset. We limit group size to 22 participants—guaranteeing personalised attention for all attending.
Our retreats offer a supportive, judgment-free space where you can authentically be yourself. You’ll receive expert guidance for profound personal growth and professional development throughout your stay.
To preserve the integrity of the experience, we carefully screen applicants. This ensures all participants are fully committed to the process.
While the minimum 7-day stay allows you to settle into the retreat environment, longer stays enable deeper healing and a more thorough resolution of accumulated patterns – think of longer retreats as a deep-cleaning process. While a quick tidy-up (shorter stay) can freshen things up, a thorough spring cleaning (longer stay) allows you to reach those overlooked corners and clear out more accumulated clutter. The longer retreats leave you feeling refreshed and revitalised, with a cleaner, more organised mental space.
Our retreats attract a diverse range of participants – from business professionals and leaders to individuals seeking quiet time to declutter and heal their life. It’s an opportunity to recover, recalibrate and re-energise, essential in our fast-paced world.
Quiet Retreats follow a structured daily routine, including extensive meditation sessions, ongoing support from Matthew and his team, nutritious vegan meals, and comfortable accommodation throughout your stay.
If the prospect of extended periods of sitting still and being quiet concerns you, rest assured that participants are encouraged to take slow meditation walks during sessions when sitting becomes too intense. We encourage a firm but gentle approach to yourself.
