About This Retreat
Four nights of structured silence at a working monastery-adjacent retreat house in the Brecon Beacons. Designed for founders and senior executives in burnout territory or pre-burnout. Daily silent sitting practice. One-to-one check-ins with Aaron Ridley. Mindful walking. Simple monastic dining. A space to put down whatever you've been carrying for the last twelve months and not pick it up again.
What to Expect
Total silence except for the one-to-one check-ins with Aaron. Daily structure of meditation, walking, eating, resting. No screens. No reading on the first two days; book exchange available after that. Most guests report this is the deepest rest they've had in a decade.
