We have curated a truly unique retreat of forest bathing, sauna, ceremony and deeply held space for our Silent Forest retreat.
This retreat was created from a vision Pip received during her most recent 7 day Vipassana silent meditation retreat.
It was during her 5th Vipassana retreat with her teacher Burgs, that Pip clearly received the calling to create a retreat, in an ancient forest, in a triangle house, to share the profound healing and insight of silent mediation.
Less than a month after receiving this vision the founders of Siaurys retreat reached out to Pip to offer their incredible location. It was exactly as Pip had visioned.
This is a land for the people who love nature and believe in its powers, who want to pause in the midst of the pace of life and feel the silence and healing power of the forest, as well as those who want to devote their time to self-development and inner discoveries.
This retreat is gently curated for those new to a silent retreat experience and for anyone intrigued but hesitant of a 10 day Vipassana. The silence will only be held for 48hrs, both the arrival day and last day will have talking for intention, integration and to share the experience.
You’ll be held in a deeply nurturing retreat, amongst breathtaking nature, with additional daily support from Pip’s team of retreat assistants.

Retreat and immerse yourself in nature, discovering the silent state of being.
The daily rituals and practices will support you to go deeply within on this silent journey. Over 4 nights and 5 days you’ll be held, nurtured, and supported to enter into the silent state of being. The arrival day on Monday will be an afternoon and evening of settling into space and orientating yourself, enjoying the sauna and roaring fires. As you settle in on your arrival day, talking is allowed and you’ll be journaling and sharing in circle.
The Monday evening welcoming ceremony will set the intention of the retreat. From midday on Tuesday we will enter the sacred silent state. This will be announced by a gong and you’ll be fully guided and supported during the silence. There will be 48hrs of silence, with a carefully curated programme of mediation, ritual, deepening over the days. After 48hrs you’ll experience a sound bath healing session and the midday gong will signal the breaking of sacred silence.
The Thursday afternoon and evening post silence will be integration practices, supporting shadow work, sharing circles, and movement practices. The final sessions of the retreat will be an immersion in joyful music, movement and a celebration of life.
Movement & journaling meditation
Each morning we begin with journaling rituals in the forest tipi to ground ourselves before moving into an embodied movement practice, known as Shake the Dust. We then settle into our morning guided mediation practice.
SOUND HEALING & DREAM JOURNEY RITUALS
A deeper journey of rest
Imrama, a word of Celtic origins that means a sacred journey of the soul. A voyage on which we don’t know where we are going, but our soul knows the way.. You’ll be guided through practices of visualisation connecting to the inner realms of consciousness.
SILENT SAUNA CEREMONIES & CIRCLES
The Power of Ceremony
The white smoke silent sauna ceremony will be one of the many ceremonies we’ll be journeying with. Through held space, intention, integration and shadow work healing circles, all expertly guided, you’ll be lovingly held to explore all that arises from the sacred silent state.
Luxury ensuite rooms
Due to the deep introspective nature of this work, we are keeping the retreat small and intimate. There are beautiful rooms for single occupancy, a number of rooms with en-suite bathrooms and king sized beds. Booking as a couple is welcome.
There are many exceptionally peaceful cosy shared spaces; lounges with open fires, outdoor lounges and beautiful bedrooms to admire the forest, a glass mediation room and a stunning yoga space.

MEET YOUR TEACHER
Hi, I’m Pip - Founder of Your Yoga Retreats
Pip is a ritual facilitator and is certified in Embodied Healing, Wild Medicine Woman & Womb Wisdom Practices. She believes deeply in the transformational power of ritual and holds ceremonies to bring you back to your own deep knowing and personal healing within each of us.
Pip began her love and exploration into rituals and holding ceremony after witnessing the reverence and beauty of ceremony in India. She had visited India annually for many years practicing yoga with her teachers. It was her visit to the oldest city in the world, Varanasi where she was completely captivated by ritual practices. It was there she had a profound experience receiving a sadhu blessing during a vibrant Ganga aarti which moved her greatly. Pip’s knowledge started blossoming from her own experiences gathered from travelling across the world, taking part in cacao ceremonies, women’s circles, sound healing rituals and ecstatic dance, from India, Thailand and San Francisco to beautiful Dorset, she travelled far and wide experiencing all that she could.
Pip shares these deeply powerful and emotional opening and closing ceremonies and ritual practices online, and on the retreats she runs in Ibiza.
Pip was honoured to delve deeper, discovering Embodied Healing in Bali undertaking an immersion training into Wild Medicine Woman & Womb Wisdom Practices. This has shaped her desire to support women in practices that empower them, to create change, their own healing and self love.
