Go Within - 4 Day Silent Retreat
August 27 - 31, 2025
“The quieter you become, the more you can hear.” – Ram Dass
Get quiet and go within at Bodhi Khaya’s 4 Day Silent Retreat. Experience the deep rest that silence offers, while releasing stress, cultivating peace and opening yourself up to receive the insights that this level of self reflection time provides.
From this place of stillness, take in the sounds of nature in our eco-spiritual sanctuary, while moving through an optional daily schedule of meditation, yoga flow, breathwork, guided silent nature walks, evening restorative yoga, soul-nourishing mindful meals and plenty of free time for rest, renewal and reflection.
Our silent retreats are gently guided by experienced facilitators, yet with the freedom to intuitively explore the landscape, both within and without. We take the silence very seriously, yet all activities on the schedule are optional to join. This flexibility is what sets our silent retreats apart and what keep people coming back again and again.
Bodhi Khaya offers up a safe space for you to delve deep within, while being held by the exquisite natural environment. Give yourself permission to connect to your true inner nature though the sacred practice of silence.

On Noble Silence
The practice of Noble Silence means to refrain from all outward communication through both speaking and body language. We ask that all those who attend commit to holding this powerful silent container. None of the sessions and activities are compulsory, yet we hold the silence with the strongest integrity. Unlike some other practices of Noble Silence, reading and writing is permitted.
On Phones and Devices
Please note that NO phones or electronic devices (besides Kindles) are permitted in public spaces. This will be monitored strictly, for the benefit of all participants. This 7 day retreat is an opportunity to detox from technology, and so and we strongly suggest that you make arrangements to switch off your phone for the week. There will be the option to hand in your phone to us, and you are welcome to give your loved ones our contact number, so should they need to get hold of you, we will inform you immediately. Our phone will be closely monitored at all times for this reason. After the week, we guarantee you will thank yourself for making the commitment to digitally detox! If you do need to keep your phone, this must be on silent at all times, and phone alarms will also not be allowed.
On Meditation
This is not a meditation retreat as much as it is a silent retreat. We offer 4, mostly unguided, meditation sessions per day, all optional. We will not be teaching a specific style of mediation, giving you the space to continue with your current practice. Each session will be a combination of sitting and walking meditation, or sitting only, depending on the instructor. You are always welcome to sit the whole time. For those new to meditation and who would like to learn, meditation instruction, support and guidance is available.
