Autumn Silent Retreat at Whalley Abbey

Step away from the noise of everyday life and find serenity at our Autumn Silent Retreat at Whalley Abbey. Located in the beautiful Lancashire countryside, this historic sanctuary provides a perfect setting to reconnect with your inner self. You will be surrounded by the Abbey's timeless charm and the peaceful beauty of its grounds in autumn.

This retreat is designed for everyone, from those new to silent retreats to experienced practitioners. It will guide you through gentle yoga and mindfulness practices, all within the profound quiet of shared silence. This experience offers a supportive space for you to explore your inner world, whether you are just starting your journey or seeking to deepen your personal growth.

What to Expect

Guided Yoga: Our yoga sessions are tailored to all ability levels. They are designed to help release physical tension, improve your flexibility, and enhance your overall sense of well-being.

Mindfulness Practices: You will learn practical techniques to center your thoughts, sharpen your focus, and cultivate a lasting sense of inner peace.

Structured Silence: The retreat begins with an introduction on the first day. We then gently transition into a state of silence, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the meditative atmosphere.

Benefits of the Retreat

Participating in our silent retreat at Whalley Abbey offers a wealth of benefits:

  • Nervous System Relaxation: Silence and mindfulness practices are powerful tools for reducing stress and promoting deep relaxation.

  • Enhanced Well-being: In a supportive and nurturing environment, you can reconnect with yourself and rediscover your inner balance.

  • Personal Growth: This is dedicated time for you to reflect, heal, and grow amidst the tranquil and historic surroundings.

Journaling is an optional activity during this Silent Retreat, as we understand how helpful it can be for processing thoughts and feelings in silence. However, to help the mind settle, we ask that you avoid reading, knitting, or other similar activities that can create distraction.

A Sanctuary for the Soul

Whalley Abbey’s stunning setting provides an extra layer of peace to your retreat experience. The beautiful grounds, painted with autumn colors, invite a deeper connection with nature and with yourself. On Saturday, you will have personal time to spend as you wish, exploring the abbey and its serene environment.
