Deep Rest Silent Retreat
A Nervous System Reset in Nature
❤️ 7 Days in Silence ❤️
Dear friends,
We are inviting a small circle to join us for something beautifully simple:
9 days in total.
7 days in silence.
In Nature.
Together.
No phones. No watches. No notifications.
Just earth beneath your feet, Sky above your head.
Fire. Water. Breath.
This is not a strict retreat.
It is a return.
A return to your natural rhythm
To sleeping when you are tired.
Waking with the light.
Resting when your body asks.
Walking without destination.
Drinking tea slowly.
Watching the fire.
Listening to the birds.
A full body reset
🌳 * The Background Story * 🌳
In 2021, when we experienced silence in the wild mountains of Montenegro, something deeply settled within us.
Our nervous systems softened. Time expanded. The constant hum of “doing” fell away.
We simply were. And that simplicity felt like medicine. We would love to share this with you.
🌿 * The Setting* 🌿
Bisley Camping - a small off-grid campsite near Stroud.
Sleeping in tents close to the earth.
Natural water flowing nearby.
• Hot tub • Hot showers • Drinking water • Cooking on the fire • No fridge
Ana and David will prepare the space, organise the food, and hold the opening and closing circles. From there — silence holds us.
(Just so you know we did not have a hot tub or a hot shower in Montenegro, only an icy cold river...this is an upgrade!)
🌾 * Nourishment* 🌾
When we slow down, the body needs less.
This will be a gentle tri-doshic, sattvic reset.
Simple, grounding food.
Breakfast foods available: Porridge, peanut butter, tahini, marmite, miso, rice cakes, rivita. notice, no sugar… (Please bring anything additional you know you’ll want.)
Each day: • One shared hot meal — kitcheri (This is an dish used for Ayurvadic cleansing, Vegan and Gluten Free) • Fresh bread delivery • Herbal teas throughout
If you have specific dietary requirements, please supplement.
We invite you not to bring sugar or comfort foods. Instead, this becomes a quiet curiosity:
What do I reach for when I feel discomfort? Can I sit with myself, gently? Can I allow life to flow without adding to it?
This is not about restriction.
It is about spaciousness.
🔥 * Practical Simplicity* 🔥
• Bring your own bowl, plate, cutlery (you are responsible for them)
• You may bring a small camping stove if you’d like to make personal tea
• It will be chilly! Warm clothes, bedding, blankets, hot water bottles
• Camping equipment inc tent,

This is not a retreat to improve yourself.
It is a retreat to rest your system.
To let nature regulate you.
To let stillness do the work.
