Lifehouse Body & SoulOur annual New Year Retreat is an amazing opportunity to start fresh with clarity and intention. This year’s day-long retreat will offer an incredibly powerful teaching around alchemy–the science of turning your dreams into reality–and be hosted at beautiful Riverside Country Club in Provo, UT.
9-9:15am Welcome & Orientation Together we establish our sitting space and set intentions for the day.
9:15-9:30 Teaching: Begin with Presence Everything begins with Presence: a state of consciousness beyond thought where we exist in the present moment. Presence gives us the ability to cut through the clutter of thought and conditioning to see things as they really are.
9:30-10:15am Silent Meditation Together, we sit in silence.
10:15-10:30am Teaching: The Ancient Art of Alchemy Alchemy is the understanding (experientially through the heart) of how consciousness relates to matter (& experience). In other words, "As within, so without." Alchemy is a fancy word that points to a basic truth: that you are a divine being who is here to create, to bless and serve others. Your ideas and presence are meant to come to fruition to make the world a better place.
10:30-11:15am Silent Meditation Together, we sit in silence.
11:15-11:30am Teaching: The First Gate - The Gate of Possibility Digging deep on what do I want? And why do I want it?
11:30am-12pm Silent Meditation Together, we sit in silence.
12:00-12:30 Lunch Together, we share a beautiful meal in mindfulness and gratitude.
12:30-12:45 Teaching: The Second Gate: The Gate of Inner Yes Uncovering the beliefs, fears, and mindsets that are currently keeping us from realizing our deepest desires.
12:45-1:15 Silent Meditation Together, we sit in silence.
1:15-1:30 Teaching: The Third Gate - The Gate of Outer Yes Expecting synchronicities and learning to ride the Flow with lightness and ease.
1:30-2:00 Moving Meditation Together, we move in flow with a gentle yoga practice.
2:00-2:15 Final Teaching: The Fourth Gate - The Gate of Truth The point of realization, contemplation, and meaning. When we pass through the Gate of Truth, all our experiences only deepen the simple knowing: "I Exist."
2:15-3:00 Silent Meditation & Optional Shares Together, we sit, write, and have the opportunity to share.
The 2024 Silent Retreat with Lifehouse Body and Soul was an amazing and very unique experience. I had the opportunity to attend with my 19 year old son and 16 year old daughter, and we've been talking about what we learned since the close of the event. It was really cool to learn how breathing can help me stay in the present moment and not let my thoughts take over. I'm grateful for the chance I had to go to this year's retreat and look forward to additional retreats in the future. Thanks again for the great experience! - Nathan M
2024 was my second experience with a Silent Retreat. This is such a unique and nourishing experience. I was able to finally have time and space to dip into my inner world. Uninterrupted time to spend in my own soul is the most valuable investment I can imagine. I’m so glad I was able to participate. -Brielle W
The Lifehouse Body & Soul Silent Retreat was an introduction to a whole new type of meditation for me. It was good to have so much empty space to explore what was going on in my mind and observe what things my brain would try to focus on or get distracted with. It was also very cool to share that space with so many people and feel a sense of oneness. We were all there for the same thing, we were all breathing and thinking, and at the same time I'm sure all of us had completely different experiences. Since the Retreat, I've done many sits in silence and it's become a lot easier and I often even prefer it! -Elyse A
The Lifehouse Body & Soul Silent Retreat for me was like working with a new muscle. My mind would wander and I would bring myself back to the present moment over and over and over. I know I have the answers inside of me and the key is to quiet all the noise in my own mind. When I find that space I feel empowered. I love becoming more aware of who I actually am. I am so much more than any success or failure that has happened in my life. We all are. - Autumn C
The Silent Retreat was an amazing experience. I liked the schedule and the way it flowed, giving us breaks as needed and time to journal. I was able to find a deeper awareness of myself that I have never accessed before. I liked the openness and room to do this as was comfortable for me even in a room filled with people. I loved being comfortable with a blanket, pillow, and fuzzy socks. There was an acceptance there that I felt we were all in this together, and no one was judging. I truly felt free, at peace, and loved. I am me and I am enough. ❤️ - Natalie M
I appreciated the opportunity to participate in my second Silent Retreat at Lifehouse Body and Soul. The benefits are accumulative. Sitting in silence is a rare sensory experience in my sound filled life. I found it so helpful to ground myself then sit with and observe my own thoughts and feelings. I experienced a significant shift in perspective during my first silent retreat and another during the second that built upon the first. I felt both restored and liberated. I look forward to the next silent retreat and the opportunity provided to keep moving forward more mindfully. - Janet J
I struggle quieting my mind, especially in my every day. I loved this retreat because it helped me practice quieting my mind over and over and giving me the time to practice. By the end of the day I felt like my awareness and presence was at a place where I was more open to realizing what I needed. I’ll be using these tools in my everyday life. - Shirley H
I went into the Silent Retreat nervous and pretty cautious. I wasn't sure what to expect or if I could actually sit for 6 hours in silence. The retreat was the perfect opportunity for me to practice breathing, being present and opening my heart. I felt an expansion and softness and as I fully leaned into the experience and began to trust myself. I left the retreat with a deeper gratitude for myself, for my body and for my life and with a deeper trust in myself. The Silent Retreat was amazing and the perfect way to start 2024. - Amanda A
I came upon this Silent Retreat while searching for a couples retreat online. I am so grateful that I found it. Becky was awesome in teaching us mindfulness practices and helping us connect with our true self. I had read the Untethered Soul a year prior and it was the start of my transformation. It has changed my life. I started meditating and learning about mindfulness and self awareness. I needed this badly in my life as my unawareness had caused many problems. I feel so much freer and happier. The Silent Retreat was a wonderful day to reflect and get out of my mind. Thank you so much. - Kyle L
I really enjoyed this experience! I found it really eye opening and just an overall great experience. Highly recommend it to anyone looking to learn more about themselves! -Caleb M
My experience with the Lifehouse Body and Soul Silent Retreat was so deeply filling. Having the opportunity to carve out a day of silence was an amazing opportunity. I loved being with a community of people, what was taught, and the time and space to quiet my mind. I was worried I would feel uncomfortable or bored and unsure what to do. It was not the case at all I felt so comfortable and time passed so quickly I could have stayed longer. I would recommend the opportunity to anyone looking to deepen their practice of meditation or mindfulness. - Rachel R
Our Silent Retreats offer a unique opportunity for deep introspection and personal growth. Here’s what you can typically expect:
Benefits:
The purpose of silence is to shift out of our task-oriented, survival-based lower-brain function and access the higher Present-centered network of our brain.
To do this, we do expect an environment minimizing distractions. But don’t worry – this is not a severe setting.
You’ll engage in guided mindfulness practices and gentle yoga, have ample time for introspection, and follow a structured schedule including a catered lunch that will support you in several extended periods of silence.
Bring a yoga mat and anything else that will help you feel comfortable.
Participants often love having a blanket, fuzzy socks, or a meditation cushion.
Yes, a delicious catered lunch IS included.
