Deepen your mindfulness practice in our silent retreats.
On a regular basis, The Centre for Mindfulness Studies opens its doors to our community for a silent day of mindfulness including guided walking and sitting meditations. While spending hours in silence may seem daunting to some, these retreats are actually a welcome respite and a great way to foster stillness in the rush of everyday life. Many regular participants attest to the retreats’ restorative effects and the ways in which the experience enhances personal insight and self-knowledge.
Who Should Attend
Mindfulness program participants, past participants, faculty, staff and members of the community with an existing mindfulness practice. We do not recommend the silent retreat for beginners. For those interested in discovering mindfulness, please join us for one of our beginners' workshops.
