Self-Directed Personal Retreat, 3 Night, 1 Week and 2 Week Options

“Silence is not the absence of something, but the presence of everything.”

You are welcome and encouraged to experience a supported personal retreat at RMERC. Bring your own practice, move completely at your own pace, and let the quiet of the land hold you while we take care of the rest.  Whether you are looking to deepen an established practice or are simply longing for a quiet refuge to restore your spirit, this option for a personal retreat welcomes you exactly as you are. Step out of the chaos and back home to yourself.

We invite you to pause, put down the weight of daily demands, and offer yourself a profound journey inward. This personal, noble silent retreat offers a rare, sacred space to disconnect from the external noise and reconnect with the steady ground of your own being. Surrounded by the gentle presence of community and the healing rhythms of nature, you have the time a space to create your perfect retreat.

Requirements: Yogis must have completed at least one group retreat at RMERC.
