Silent Retreat

  • group: 15
  • including yoga and self-inquiry
  • from € 980
  • in English

Experience the power of silence during this transformational retreat. A unique opportunity to reduce the continuous flow of thoughts, to calm your mind and to give space to your inner voice. This retreat is a combination of meditations, yoga, breath work and self-knowledge activities.

Perfect for all levels: it’s not necessary that you practiced meditation, yoga or silence before. Instructions are in English.

During this retreat you will discover what really matters for you in life. If we take the step into silence, life rewards us with insights and we can let go of things that no longer serve us. You will receive practical guidelines on how to maintain a soul state of being when returning to your daily life.

The silence will be from Sunday lunch until Friday lunch. During the week, there are yoga sessions, self-knowledge activities, a sound healing, guided meditations, a beach session and more. Many participants in our Silent Retreats experience the silence for the first time. It’s not a vipassana retreat with long meditations. It’s gentle and recharging: all go home with new inspiration and insights.

To benefit the most of the silence, it's strongly recommended to hand in your phone. Although it seems almost impossible nowadays to survive without phone for a few days, all former participants described being offline as a profound and precious gift.

The supporting activities will help you to really connect with your body again and to increase your understanding of what's limiting your joy and fulfillment in life. This retreat is above all a deep recharge and inner exploration.

Soul Valley offers magical surroundings and facilities. You will be staying in a boutique room with en-suite bathroom. There is lots of free time to enjoy the sea view pool, delicious healthy food, and cleanse your body in the sauna and steam bath. You will be amazed by the surrounding hills, starry nights and ancient Sardinian vibe.

If you travel solo, you have two options:

  • share a twin room with two separate single beds with another participant of your gender, price 980 euro
  • a private single room with queen-size bed, price 1.400 euro

If you book together with someone else, it's not possible to share a room together. You will both receive a private single room with queen-size bed for a reduced price of 1.200 euro per person or you can share a room with another participant (980 euro). We do this because staying in silence in the room with a relative, friend or partner is almost impossible, and breaking the silence would reduce your individual journey significantly.

Everything is included: seven nights in a boutique room with supersized beds and en-suite bathroom, incredible food, drinks (we serve no alcohol during the retreat) and access to the wellness and sea-view pool.

This retreat takes also place from April 3 - 10, 2027.

Emilie Horbach

Emilie likes to dance her way through life. Not taking life too seriously is something that matters to her. She loves to give meaning to the simplest of moments and to make every session or class she shares into a ceremony. A dedication to yourself.

Emilie's yoga journey started in her teenage years. She has always felt this magnetic pull towards the inner and outer work it involves.
After teaching Hatha, Vinyasa and Yin yoga, she found her big passion: Kundalini yoga. Kundalini has brought her a new worldview. One of softness, self expression and embodiment, which she loves to share.

Combining her experience in breath work, cacao ceremonies, dance sessions, reiki and yoga, Emilie loves to get creative to bring in laughter and joy but also depth. She strongly believes that connecting deeply to your inner world can open up many beautiful treasures, which will help you to connect more authentically to the outer world. ‎
