Set on 35 acres, take time for a silent walk along meandering paths and rest amidst the expansive gardens with views of the ocean and Santa Ynez mountains.Your retreat is led by life-long retreat leaders Bruce Davis, Ruth Davis and Nicole Becker, and include teachings on heart-centered silence and slow living. We have been leading contemplative silent retreats worldwide since 1983 and are teachers of the world philosophies.The Art of 'Non-Doing'In between group sessions practice the art of non-doing. Restful awareness, reflection, walking meditation, laying on the lawn, staying in present moment awareness, contemplation, journaling, sitting meditating, take a guilt free nap, being with nature, listening to silence, being present without the need for entertainment, being gentle with yourself... these periods are a time of non-judgement and bathing in the softness of your heart and the retreat experience.LocationYour Silent Stay takes place at the Pacifica Graduate Institute Retreat Center in Montecito (Santa Barbara, CA). It was originally built for Jesuit monks that took 30 night silent retreats. This historic property lies at the foot of the Ynez Mountains. Here you can immerse yourself in contemplative silence and stillness. The exclusive 35 acre property is filled with beautiful meditation gardens, enchanting paths, and sprawling views of mountains and ocean.  https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/d9237e50-de4f-11f0-bd7a-89b98d8e6efb-rimg-w1200-h675-dc494d47-gmir.jpg   https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/dd7413c0-de4f-11f0-a7a7-0db0d17546b6-rimg-w555-h740-dc2d3033-gmir.jpg Learn Awareness Practices to Enrich Your LifeSimplicity, heartfulness, and slow living.On retreat we share practices and tools to:free your busy minddeepen your connection to your innermost beingnurture the magical child withinlive a life of non-judgment and self-compassionconnect to effortless being in everyday life‍We look forward to joining you in the peaceful renewal of silence.  https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/e36009b0-de4f-11f0-a7a7-0db0d17546b6-rimg-w987-h740-dc2e1b11-gmir.jpg Accommodations:Private Rooms/LoungesAll rooms are private with shared batrhrooms and there are several cozy common lounges to enjoy.Full-sized bedroom/shared dorm-style bathroomsQueen-sized bedroom/bathroom shared with one other roommore photos hereRooms are located on the second floor, accessible by stairs only (no elevator).Ground floor ADA accessible rooms are availble if you book directly through us.
