The Beauty of Being:
a 4-Day Silent Meditation & Breathwork Retreat
July 3-6, 2026
Sea to Sky Retreat Centre
Hi Friend, you're invited to join us for a 4-day silent meditation and breathwork retreat at the Sea to Sky Retreat Centre—a secluded sanctuary of unique natural beauty nestled between Squamish and Whistler, BC. This retreat is designed as a deliberate withdrawal from the intensity of daily life, offering an opportunity to rediscover a simpler way of being.
Here, nature is not just a backdrop; it is an essential partner in your practice. Surrounded by ancient old-growth forests, a private lake, thriving wildlife, and vast open skies, you will find a supportive environment that mirrors the internal spaciousness we seek to cultivate. Together, we will step into the quietude and stillness and reconnect with our beingness.
Practicing the Art of Mindfulness
This retreat is more than a quiet getaway; it is a guided journey into the transformative and vast practice of mindfulness. Whether you are a long-time meditation practitioner or stepping into silence for the first time, you will have the opportunity to develop and strengthen your innate capacity for presence. You’ll learn practical tools to gently gather your attention and settle into awareness.
From this centered state, you'll learn how to kindly observe your unfolding experience—body, mind, and heart—while nurturing insight, wisdom and other wholesome states of being, one mindful moment at a time.
Our Journey of BEing Together
Each day begins with conscious breathwork, a foundational practice to ground your nervous system and release tension. At this altitude, your breath becomes a powerful anchor, helping your body and mind settle into silence with ease.
Here, we will transition seamlessly into extended practice sessions, including seated, standing, and walking meditation, as well as mindful movement. These sessions—some guided and others silent—are supported by the natural stillness of our environment, allowing you to cultivate embodied presence and a heartfelt sense of connectedness.
What You Can Expect:
-
Guidance in Mindfulness Meditation: Learn and refine the technique of awareness meditation to carry with you beyond the retreat.
-
You'll have opportunities to ask questions and debrief about your practice, either in a group setting or one-on-one.
-
-
Immersion with Nature: Allow the natural stillness of the mountain to support your inner process.
-
Restorative Breathwork: Daily sessions to open energetic flow and regulate the nervous system.

A Safe Container: A supportive, non-judgmental environment for introspection and renewal.
-
Therapeutic Silence: This intentional quiet creates space for reflection and reconnection with your true self.
-
Community Connection: While the retreat emphasizes silence and introspection, you'll also experience the power of quiet community. This creates a sense of belonging and shared presence as we walk this path of BEing together.
This retreat is designed to meet you where you are on your personal inward journey, offering gentle guidance and space to explore, connect, receive, release, heal, and grow. Whether you are seeking clarity, rest, connection, or insight or inspiration, our intention is to support you every step of the way.
