Insight in Silence Retreat 2026
at the Olmsted Manor & Lodge in Ludlow, PA
Thursday, April 23, at 4 pm through Sunday, April 26, at 11 am
Unplug from the noise. Reconnect with yourself.
Step away from the noise of daily life and into a peaceful, supportive space designed to help you slow down, soften, and listen inward. In silence, you’ll learn to hear yourself again.
Held at the beautiful Olmsted Manor and Lodge — nestled near the quiet beauty of the Allegheny National Forest and home to a walking labyrinth — this silent retreat is a chance to gently explore your inner landscape while surrounded by nature and community.
Throughout the weekend, Joni will guide you through various forms of meditation and mindful movement, helping you feel grounded and supported in each step of your experience. You'll also receive gentle guidance on how to spend your silent time, with options for journaling, walking, resting, or simply being. This retreat is not about doing more; it’s about doing less with intention.
Each day includes:
🌿 Guided meditation and movement sessions
🌿 A “connection hour” to share and set intentions (before returning to silence)
🌿 Ample free time to reflect, rest, and reconnect with yourself
🌿 A large, nourishing brunch at 10:00 AM and dinner at 5:30 PM
Plus, you’ll have a private room with an attached bathroom to further create a private, nurturing experience.
Whether you're new to silence or have experienced it before, you’ll be gently led through the weekend in a way that feels safe, welcoming, and accessible. You don’t have to know how to “do it right;” Joni will be there to guide you every step of the way.
Come as you are. Leave with a quieter mind, a fuller heart, and a deeper sense of peace.
$700 per person, all-inclusive
