Featured News, What's New

The Sound of Silence: A Summer Silent Retreat in Yogaville with Swami Divyananda Ma, E-RYT 500, Swami Karunananda, E-RYT 500 and Swan Michelle will be held from July 8 – 12, 2026

Step away from the noise of daily life and enter a spacious, nourishing silence at Yogaville, a peaceful sanctuary dedicated to conscious living and spiritual practice.

The Sound of Silence is a summer silent retreat designed to help you slow down, listen inward, and reconnect with your natural rhythm. Held within Yogaville’s serene natural surroundings, this retreat offers a deeply restorative experience where stillness becomes a teacher and sound a subtle guide. Through intentional silence, gentle yoga, meditation, and immersive sound baths, the nervous system is soothed, awareness deepens, and clarity emerges through quiet.

Participants will experience: 
  • A shared container of intentional silence, held from the first evening through the final afternoon
  • Gentle, mindful Yoga practices rooted in traditional yogic teachings
  • Guided meditation to cultivate presence, clarity, and inner calm
  • Sound baths using healing frequencies to support deep relaxation and integration
  • Inspirational talks and teachings from advanced Yoga and meditation teachers
  • Time in nature on Yogaville’s grounds for grounding, reflection, and renewal
