Contact: Marta Fabregat –
There is a space between words where something deeper can be heard. A place where silence isn’t empty but alive, holding us with presence and allowing what truly wants to be expressed to emerge.
This retreat is an invitation to slow down, listen, and experience the transformative power of pausing.
Over three days, we will explore the alchemy of Nonviolent Communication (NVC), Focusing, and meditative silence practices that help us connect more deeply with ourselves and others. In a world that moves fast and fills every gap with noise and distraction, this retreat offers a space where words can arise from a place of clarity, felt sense, and authentic connection.
Together, we will create a gentle, holding environment with:
- Spacious silence to deepen presence
- Focusing practices to listen beyond words
- Nonviolent Communication as a path to compassionate dialogue
- Meditation as a foundation for sensing and expressing from the heart
This retreat is for anyone longing to reconnect with their inner knowing, communicate with more depth and care, and experience the richness of silence as a source of wisdom.
Join us in this beautiful, quiet setting in Co. Galway, where nature will also guide us in slowing down and listening deeply.
Places are limited, get in touch if you feel called to join!
