About this Event

Join Our 1-Day Silent Meditation Retreat - The Silent Space

Some days ask us to do more. This one asks us to do nothing.
The Silent Space is a 1-Day silent retreat in Toronto. This is a chance to step out of the noise and chaos of daily life, and spend a full day in guided stillness. No phones, no small talk, no rushing. Just breath, gentle movement, meditation, and the quiet that’s underneath it all.
You’ll be guided from morning to early evening in a simple, unhurried rhythm of silent meditation and slow Hatha Yoga, with a nourishing lunch and snacks to carry you through. No experience is needed, only a willingness to be quiet with yourself for a while.
