Stillpointe Silent Retreat
Cultivate Awareness and Enjoy Elevating Meditations
“Silence is the mother of truth.” – Benjamin Disraeli
Would you like to deepen your meditation practice and experience inner stillness?
Do you want to enhance your life and live with more peace and presence?
Join us for the Stillpointe Silent Retreat at our serene Sanctuary, a rare opportunity to step away from daily distractions and immerse yourself in the transformative power of silence. Inspired by our past Stillpointe retreats with Master Charles Cannon, the founder of Synchronicity Foundation and modern mystic, this retreat offers an enriching experience of High-Tech Meditation®, contemplative practices, and immersive stillness.
Though centered in silence, the retreat is held in a caring, connected, and supportive environment. Silence begins after the Wednesday evening meditation and continues through Saturday afternoon, ending at the Nia movement class. Throughout the retreat, participants receive guided sessions, gentle instruction, and opportunities for integration, creating a steady and nourishing container for both new and experienced meditators.
A Sanctuary for Deep Meditation
While primarily silent, this retreat also includes select moments of sharing and guidance. In addition, select video dialogues with Master Charles Cannon are woven into the retreat, offering orientation, reflection, and insight that help anchor the intention and flow of the experience.
Why Practice Silence?
Engaging in periods of silence can allow the mind to quiet, creating space for deeper awareness and inner peace. The benefits of such practice include:
- Enhanced Self-Awareness: Silence creates a space to observe your thoughts and emotions without distraction, leading to greater self-understanding.
- Mental Clarity: Stepping away from constant external stimuli allows the mind to reset, resulting in improved focus and mental clarity.
- Emotional Healing: In the stillness, unresolved emotions may surface, providing an opportunity for acknowledgment and healing.
- Spiritual Connection: Silence can deepen your awareness of the stillness within and connection with all that is.

☑ Participate in daily meditations with Synchronicity High-Tech Meditation®

What Participants Say
Reflections from participants who experienced the Stillpointe Silent Retreat. Click a testimonial below to expand.
“Each day felt balanced and spacious.” — L.W.
Sanctuary is the perfect name for this retreat center. I felt warmly welcomed by those who greeted us when we arrived and also by the beautiful setting of forest and mountains. The daily routine included meditation, yoga, and a sharing circle during which we also received guidance from the retreat leaders in how to increase our awareness of inner stillness and oneness. The days included time to walk in the woods and to simply relax and enjoy the butterflies, deer, and wild turkeys. Each day felt balanced and spacious. The food was excellent and the dining hall was beautiful with a round shape and large windows opening to the forest. The meditation hall was also in the round and meditation came easily. I’m thankful to the retreat leaders and all of those on staff who put their full hearts into making our time in retreat so special.
“The calm and peaceful atmosphere pervaded all parts of the center.” — T.B.
My first visit to SRC for the silent retreat was a spiritually uplifting experience. The calm and peaceful atmosphere pervaded all parts of the center (inner and outer). All staff were consistently kind and helpful. I came away feeling grateful.
“I loved this place—it’s tranquil.” — N.N.
I loved this place, it’s tranquil. I am hearing impaired and use hearing aids daily, and I chose the “Silent Retreat” to have a chance to fully disconnect—and I DID! Personally, I find the meditation system they developed absolutely brilliant. Highly recommended.
