3-Night Silent Retreat
We are excited to offer you a 3-night retreat of deep rest, nourishment, and meditative practices on the beautiful Kawau Island, just 45 minutes from Auckland city.
Join SOMM Founder & Meditation Teacher, Claire Robbie, for a gentle intro into our silent retreat experiences. Everything will be taken care of for you so you can focus on your practices and enjoy where you have landed. Our retreats are always technology-free, giving you a proper reset from your day-to-day responsibilities.
Details
This retreat offers a rare and precious pause: three nights away from the demands of daily life, held in a quiet sanctuary. You’ll be guided into gentle meditative practices that help regulate your nervous system, soften internal noise, and prepare you for 36 hours of noble silence within the retreat. It’s the perfect way to gently introduce you to a silent retreat experience or come back to this practice. For three nights, the island becomes our refuge from the world, a place where time slows. Supported by nature, guided practice, and spaciousness, this retreat becomes a reset for your whole system.
