Step away from the noise and reconnect with your inner stillness in the peaceful presence of alpacas.

Hosted by Andi D. of Joy Therapy, this one day silent retreat offers you the chance to slow down, breathe deeply, and listen inward — held gently by nature and the quiet companionship of these calm, curious animals.

Through guided mindfulness practices, silent sitting, and gentle walking meditations, you’ll be invited to explore your inner landscape with openness and compassion. The alpacas will be nearby as grounding, nonjudgmental co-regulators — offering a unique opportunity to attune to yourself and the natural world in a truly special way.

Whether you’re new to meditation or an experienced practitioner, this retreat is an opportunity to rest, reflect, and reconnect.

✨ What’s Included:

• Opening and closing circle

• Guided and silent meditation sessions

• Vegetarian Lunch

• Time with alpacas in silence

• Space for reflection and integration
