The Sounds of Silence
A One-Day Silent Retreat
September 19 · 7:00 AM – 5:00 PM
Susanna Farms · 24153 W Town Line Rd, Lake Villa, IL 60046
$150 per person
Step away from the noise and into a full day of intentional stillness.
The Sounds of Silence is a guided silent retreat set on the grounds of Susanna Farms — where open land, horses, and the rhythm of nature become part of the healing. Whether you're new to meditation or deepening an existing practice, this day is designed to help you slow down, reset your nervous system, and return to yourself.
Your day unfolds like this:
We open together with intention setting, a live sound journey, and guided meditation — a gentle on-ramp into the silence. Then the day is yours. Spend the next few hours in stillness: sit and meditate, walk the property, groom the horses, or simply be with the animals and the land.
Two immersive one-hour sound baths will anchor the middle and close of your silent hours, carrying you deeper into rest and presence. A nourishing morning spread, a peaceful silent lunch, and an early dinner are included throughout the day. As the afternoon winds down, we'll slowly break the silence together in a group sharing circle — a gentle return.
Those who wish to stay are welcome to linger, connect, and enjoy a bonfire as the evening settles in.
What's included:
Opening sound journey + guided meditation
4+ hours of supported silent time
Two immersive live sound baths
Horse grooming + farm animal interaction
Morning nourishment, silent lunch, and early dinner
Group sharing circle around the bonfire to close
What to bring:
A yoga mat or blanket, comfortable layers, a journal if you'd like, and an open heart. Leave your agenda at home.
Date: Sept. 19
Time: 7:00am – 6:00pm
Location: Susanna Farms, 24153 W Town Line Rd, Lake Villa, IL 60046
Investment: $150 per person.
