STILL Retreat

Breathe in

— Welcome —

STILL is a small sanctuary in the forests of Asia, designed for those who need to exhale.

The shift

What you carry, and what you can leave behind.

  • Tired of noise

    Space for silence

  • An overwhelmed mind

    A slower rhythm

  • Disconnection from self

    A return to inner stillness

Sound Healing

Bronze and crystal bowls move through the body in slow waves, loosening what words cannot reach.

— The House —

30 hectares of forest, river and mountains.

A place where you can feel distance, air and your own rhythm again. Crisp mountain air, the scent of pine and wide open stillness keep the days fresh even under the sun. A cool clear river, unhurried walking trails in silence, and separate cosy cabins among fruit trees. Plenty of freedom, nature and space where nothing has to be done in time.

— Philosophy —

Live slowly. Observe, breathe — and return to yourself.

STILL is a retreat for people who are tired of constant noise, endless socializing, work, meetings, parties, and the overwhelming pace of modern city life.

In the city, it is easy to stay constantly in motion — but difficult to truly slow down. That is why we are creating a space where people can ground themselves, exhale, restore their inner resources, and gradually reconnect with themselves.

The retreat gently guides each participant toward inner stillness through nature, slow living, meditation, body awareness practices, and soft, attentive support. We are not followers of Zen Buddhism, yet we thoughtfully incorporate several elements of its philosophy and practices: presence, simplicity, observation, respect for silence, and deep attentiveness to the present moment.

The main purpose of the retreat is to help people release themselves from the endless stream of thoughts, rediscover inner stability, reconnect with their true desires, and experience a sense of calm again.

One of the defining aspects of STILL is its approach to guidance, inspired by the philosophy of Japanese retreats. There are no alarms, harsh schedules, rigid instructions, or pressure. Instead, throughout the entire experience, participants are accompanied by a guide — someone who gently reminds, gathers, supports, and carefully leads them through the retreat journey with sensitivity and care.

The retreat is designed not only to provide rest and restoration, but also to leave participants with something deeper: the ability to return to themselves every day, even after returning to ordinary life.

Presence · Simplicity · Silence

— Six days —

A gentle arc, not a programme

Day 01

Stop

Arrival. The first long exhale. Leaving the road, the speed and the outside world behind. Nothing needs to begin — it is enough to simply be here.

Day 02

Soften

The body gradually lets go of its habitual tension. Breath, movement, sound and silence help you slow down — without effort, without needing to change anything.

Day 03

Feel

As it grows quieter, sensitivity returns. To the body. To nature. To your own desires and states. To what is easy to miss in ordinary life.

Day 04

Let go

A day with no programme and nowhere to be on time. Onsen, warmth, water, rest and space for yourself. Time to let everything settle inside.

Day 05

Listen

When there is less outer noise, your own voice sounds clearer. Not searching for answers, not rushing them — simply allowing yourself to hear what was already within.

Day 06

Carry it with you

A quiet morning. A final practice. Returning home — not to the old rhythm, but with a little more attention to yourself. STILL ends as a place, but can remain a way of being.

— Guides —

Those who hold the space.

A circle of guides. Each holds their own quiet stretch of the path — without haste, without unnecessary words.
