SEMI-SILENT
YOGA & MEDITATION RETREAT
AUGUST 4-6
YOGA & MEDITATION RETREAT
AUGUST 4-6
An extended experience of the One Day Stress Detox Retreats held at the Lounge, this retreat offers a nourishing weekend of stress-releasing mindful yoga and meditation practices with quietude amidst the beautiful rolling hills of Pinbarren in the picturesque Noosa hinterland at the beautiful BIG HOUSE.
All of us love and need to retreat from the world occasionally. Spend a weekend in harmony with yourself and allow your body and mind to regenerate. Switch off your phone, the television, your computer, the radio, and chatter. Today's bombardment of mental and sensory input most often results in an overstimulated mind and a shutting down of the senses - essentially a numbed experience of life. We live in a world today where we receive more information in one day that people born 100 years ago got in a life time! How do we balance that?
This weekend of meditation, yoga and restoration, together with periods of Noble Silence (observed each morning to midday) will provide complete rest for all of the senses. The energy of silence and mindfulness penetrates the flesh and bones, and calmness prevails. In silence we cultivate higher levels of effortless hearing, perception, and vision. In silence you'll notice an instant reduction of mental input, an increase of sensory awareness, and a more intimate experience of any given moment. It inspires reflection and asks us to meet the self that exists behind the mask of chatter. This retreat offers an opportunity to experience the profound benefits of quietude, cultivating a sensitive energy for restorative relaxation and journeying inwards.
During this weekend you will gain an abundance of tools and wisdom that you can take home with you and continue to benefit from in your day to day life. Experience nurturing sessions and a mindfulness that restores balance to the body and mind, and bring you back home to yourself.

If you need to rid your body and mind of stress and re-set your whole being,
this nurturing time just for you will make a profound impact.
For the deepest and most effective experience of this stress-detox weekend, please observe the following:
- Noble silence is observed each day from waking to lunch time. This is an integral part of the program.
- Please make arrangements that will enable you to be available and attentive to the practices without outside disruption. It is recommended that you leave your technology behind.
This retreat is the perfect tonic for unwinding and switching off from the 'glorification of busy'
and easing into the sacred place of silent stillness.

Welcome to the Big House
"This retreat was just wonderful. The right amount of guidance, support, challenge and a warm environment. I really appreciated your hosting Lisa. You were true to what you offered - a weekend of silence and such a variety of experiences, and it was a great introduction to meditation. I feel empowered to practice and really got some great clarity of steps I can take to bring wholeness into my life and nourish myself. I am so grateful and would do it again" Mel - Redcliff
"The silence was great. Don't change that! The venue and food was exceptional! I loved the way you structured meditation interspersed with something nurturing and less challenging. I loved the restorative yoga, sound bath and breathing. You have taken the fear out of meditation. Thank you and bless xo"

"Relaxing and calming, and the silence was welcomed and embraced. The retreat gave me tools to help my find peace and a comfortable stillness in my way - on a journey to clear away the daily grind and take this moment for me. I enjoyed the variety of techniques and the fluid flow of the weekend. Food was yum, views amazing - birds, cows, roos. It was a cathartic weekend and just what I needed at the right time - just to be me. Will do it again. Thankyou!"
