Step away from the noise of everyday life and spend an afternoon immersed in stillness, nature, creativity, and mindful connection.

Where Silence Speaks is a guided silent meditation retreat designed to give you space to slow down, quiet the mind, reconnect with yourself, and experience the restorative power of simply being present.

Throughout the afternoon, participants will move gently through a variety of mindful experiences, including gentle Yoga, art and poetry creation, mindful walking and eating, and a variety of meditations, ending the evening under the stars with a beautiful soundbath. Surrounded by forest, water, open sky, and the peaceful landscape of the Legend of Greater Things, you’ll be invited to notice more, rush less, and experience the day with intention.

No artistic experience, yoga experience, or meditation experience is needed.

Call or Text (501) 772-1551 to reserve your space.

Join us at the Arkansas Yoga Collective for an afternoon of BioDynamic Meditations and Silent Group Healing Sessions (accompanied by Crystal Bowls)

In the world we find ourselves in today, it is essential to re-establish a deeper connection and grounding to Hope, not the hope of our small self, that is attached to things working in a certain way, but the Holy Hope which is the trust that it's possible to manifest your heart's potential to love, your mind's potential to be fully awake, to see clearly.  To trust your potential to really be intimate with others.

We invite you to come and explore the spaciousness of your Heart, and its longing to unfold into your highest potential.

"Here is what I've decided, the very least you can do in your life is figure out what you hope for.  And the most you can do is live inside that hope.  Not admire it from a distance, but live right under it's roof.  What I want is so simple I almost can't say it,  Elementary Kindness."

Barbara Kingsolver

Rose will be leading the sessions.

Throughout the afternoon, Drew will be accompanying Rose through his intuitive application of crystal singing bowls - all of which are aligned with our chakra frequencies.

We have been divinely created, and we are meant to unfold divinely, living from our natural state of the  radiance of Love.   From this place that we can create loving and safe relationships, contributing to more peace and harmony in our world

Ever noticed how certain sounds can lift your mood, calm your mind, or boost your energy? Now imagine combining that with the magic of community— deep healing! 

Here are just a few benefits of sound therapy:

Deep Relaxation: Immersing yourself in soothing sound waves helps release stress, especially when shared with a supportive group. It creates a peaceful space where everyone can breathe, relax, and let go.

Emotional Release: Sound vibrations can unlock emotions stored in the body, and experiencing that release with others amplifies the healing process.

Restored Balance: Crystal bowls and other sound therapies help restore balance to your body’s energy centers, while the community around you serves as a reminder that you're never alone on your journey.
