A return to embodied presence

Our Landscapes of Silence silent retreats in Santa Fe and Baja are for anyone craving peace and struggling to find it amid life's relentless pace.

Ranging from 5 days in Baja to 3, 4, or 7 days in Santa Fe, these retreats invite you to move beyond words, sink into presence, and reclaim the innate harmony between silence and embodiment.

Members of our mindfulness and wisdom faculty will hold a sacred and nurturing container for you to rediscover the aliveness within rest – and the wholeness that emerges when body, breath, and awareness move as one.

If you’re ready to step out of the noise and find the space you need to rest, listen, and reconnect with your innermost self, our Landscapes of Silence retreats will provide you with the sanctuary you seek.

Deep nervous system reset and cellular healing

Through soundbaths, restorative yoga, and guided meditations, you'll activate your parasympathetic nervous system and experience healing at the cellular level. Stillness dissolves anxiety and stress patterns that have become embedded in your body.

Profound wisdom from multiple spiritual traditions

Daily Wisdom Pods with expert teachers will expose you to contemplative practices from Christian Mysticism to Buddhism, Sufism to shamanic traditions. You'll gain practical tools for navigating life's challenges with greater wisdom and spiritual depth.

Enhanced creativity and mental clarity

The combination of silence, nature immersion, and walking meditation quiets mental chatter and opens space for fresh insights. Many participants experience breakthrough creative ideas and clarity on major life decisions during and after the retreat.

Lasting mindfulness practices you can take home

You'll learn sustainable techniques for staying present and grounded in daily life, from breath awareness to nature-based meditation. These aren't just retreat experiences, they're lifelong tools for maintaining inner peace amid external chaos.

Daily Wisdom Pods Offer Contemplative Teaching and Discussion

While most of the retreat will be held in silence, once a day we will gather for a one-hour Wisdom Pod where our wisdom faculty will offer teachings that touch on mindfulness and wisdom traditions ranging from the Christian Mystics to Buddhism, Judaism to Sufism, and other contemplative mythology and rituals.
 Each Wisdom Pod will be open for a period of quiet discussion before returning to the shared sanctuary of stillness. If you wish to remain in silence during these sessions, your preference will be honored.

The MEA Method is backed by social science, proven by years of research & implementation

Our Navigating Transitions workshops are built around our proven MEA Method, which has been designed in collaboration with academics from Stanford, Harvard, UC Berkeley, and Yale, who have dedicated themselves to understanding modern midlife.

Together we’ve developed and refined experiential processes that combine the social science of longevity and the art of intentional living to help people in midlife curate a second adulthood that’s as joyful, deep, and meaningful as it is long.

Come as you are and leave inspired and restored

Silent Embodiment is more than a retreat – it’s a homecoming to the self that lives beneath the noise. Stillness becomes your teacher and awareness your guide into a deeper, more intentional way of being.


And when you return to the “regular” world, you’ll discover the noise hasn’t changed – but you have. Something inside you knows how to stay anchored, intentional, and clear, no matter what the world demands.
