Are you looking to escape the chaos and noise of the modern world? A silent retreat might just do the trick. And chances are, you’ll find one closer to you than you might think. There are many Silent Retreats in Europe that offer quiet, immersive vacations specifically designed to help you get away from it all.
Europe has a rich history of silence. People have meditated for thousands of years in sanctuaries, hermitages, and monasteries by the sea, in forests, and high in the mountains. Nowadays, some of the world’s best silent retreats are tucked away in Europe’s most alluring natural landscapes.
From the idyllic countryside and sublime beaches in Southern France, Spain, and Greece, all the way to the rolling hills of Ireland and Italy, you’ll find serene yoga centers and remote ashrams built to blend into their natural surroundings. These quiet escapes will leave you feeling refreshed, relaxed, and revived.
Ditch the noise of everyday life and get away from it all in the peaceful corners of Europe. Enjoy some well-deserved “me time” to rest, reflect on what is happening inside and outside, and walk and explore with a smile in your heart.
Traditional Vipassana retreats take 10 days. But you can find shorter silent getaways held over the weekend, while weeklong retreats are quite popular as well.
You can expect to spend most of the day in complete silence. You’ll do so under the guidance of professionals, who will help you learn to feel comfortable while being quiet. Rest, relaxation, and rejuvenation await. Screens (TV, tablet, phone) and talking are discouraged to help guests feel more present in their lives upon returning home.
These retreats are usually all-inclusive, with comfortable accommodation, daily yoga, and meditation classes, and simple vegetarian meals prepared with organic ingredients. You’ll have plenty of free time to explore the surroundings, relax, read a book, take a nap in a hammock, or engage in exciting outdoor activities. Many retreats may also offer surfing lessons, hiking, cycling, horse riding, and more.
