Letting Go Into Love - Silent Retreat
Date :july 1–5, 2026 - SOLD OUT
Length : 4 nights / 5 days
Retreat type : Silent, Yoga, Breathwork
Led by Surya-Chandra Das, founder of Rolling Meadows Retreats, this four-day silent, phone-free retreat is guided by a teacher with over 30 years of experience holding meditation and silent practice—a depth that brings steadiness and integrity to the experience.
Silence is shared collectively, creating a quiet, supportive environment. As external noise falls away, there is space to listen more closely—to your thoughts, your body, and the quieter layers beneath.
Through this practice, many begin to reconnect with a more direct experience of love—not as something to seek, but as something that naturally emerges through presence, openness, and attention.
The experience includes guided meditation, yoga nidra, breathwork, and unstructured time in the natural landscape, offering space to slow down and allow love to be felt more fully through your presence.

Softening the Edges - Allowing Love to Flow
Date:September 17–21, 2026
Length: 4 nights / 5 days
Retreat type: Energy Practices of breathwork, conscious movement, meditationLove is the experience we long for.
What would it be like to live from love, rather than trying to find it or receive it from outside us? What if accessing love is simply a matter of turning our attention inward — toward our own true nature — and allowing a sense of tenderness and kindness to arise within the body?
This retreat explores how the body holds tension and protective patterns that shape our experience of life, and how we can gently return to a more natural sense of connection and aliveness through presence with the body.
Guided by Michelle Walker, you’ll engage in embodied awareness, breathwork, and subtle-energy practices inspired by The Energy Codes® to release what’s been held and restore the natural flow of life force.
Time in nature and shared space with others offers room to integrate and deepen. As the edges begin to soften, love becomes something you directly feel — as your true nature — present in your body, your breath, and your everyday experience.
