My name is Ruby – I’m the co-founder of Zensi Retreat, our beloved luxury wellness space in Mudgee NSW.
This September I’ll be facilitating a 4-day silent meditation and digital detox retreat that was destined to be created, formed through personal experience and to answer the call to how deeply people are struggling with overstimulation, nervous system burnout and disconnection from themselves in modern life.
The retreat is inspired by Vipassana philosophy but designed to feel more adaptive and approachable for the everyday person. Guests hand over their phones on arrival and spend the following days in silence amongst nature, guided meditation, embodied practise, mindful movement, sound therapy, and nourishing Ayurvedic-inspired meals. It’s a time out from life to create the quiet to actually hear yourself again; to touch a greater clarity and to reverse the effects of how we are currently living.
I started silent journeys and meditation in my early 20’s after searching for ways to better cope with the challenges and seeking answers, and it’s been the biggest gift I have received so far. This offering feels especially relevant right now, with so many people craving slower living, mental clarity, and genuine reconnection away from constant digital input.
More than simply promoting a retreat, we would genuinely love to create greater awareness around the growing need for spaces and experiences that support people emotionally, mentally, and spiritually in a world that’s becoming increasingly overwhelming. If this vision speaks to you and inspires you or feels aligned with conversations your publication would be keen to explore, lets connect and explore ways to bring more awareness to this movement that will continue to grow.
