AYAHUASCA WINTER RETREAT
Seven-Day Sacred Silent Retreat​

In silence, we quiet the mind and learn to listen within. In communion with the sacrament of Ayahuasca, we open our hearts and learn to trust. In the presence of God, we remember who we truly are.

​

What Makes This Retreat Unique

The Seven-Day Silent Retreat is an invitation to step away from the constant noise of modern life and enter a sacred rhythm of silence, deep listening, spiritual communion, and life in community.

Throughout the retreat, members observe a vow of silence, creating space to listen more deeply to God, to themselves, and to the quiet wisdom that often goes unheard in everyday life.

After each ceremony, every participant receives a private spiritual guidance session to help integrate the experience and prepare for the next step of the journey.

Healthy meals, simple living, and life in community support an atmosphere of presence, reflection, and spiritual growth.

​

To preserve an intimate and supportive environment, participation is limited to 18 members.

​

Your Stay

Members stay in comfortable private cabins located throughout the sanctuary. Each cabin fully furnished.

All meals are included throughout the retreat and are thoughtfully prepared in accordance with our ceremonial dietary guidelines.

To support a deeper experience of silence and reflection, phones and electronic devices remain safely stored by the church staff for the duration of the retreat. We encourage members to bring a personal journal for writing and reflection.

​
