Still is rooted in the understanding that growth does not always come from doing more. Sometimes it comes from learning how to be present with what already exists. Through mindfulness, movement, solitude, and quiet internal reflection, our participants are guided back to their breath, body, and awareness.

Each morning began in silence, giving participants space to gather their thoughts before engaging with one another. Gentle breathing exercises and yin yoga emphasized presence over performance. It was a teaching that the breath can serve as an anchor and a reminder that the awareness cultivated here can extend into other daily activities.

In the art studio, spouses explored with creativity while engaging all five senses, touching textures, noticing colors, hearing sounds, and smelling as they worked. They followed their own ideas, allowing each creation to become a moment of presence.

During mindfulness hikes, participants moved through nature with intention, observing without rushing. These moments encouraged a deeper noticing, prompting them to ask, “How often do we move through life without fully arriving?”

Conversations held in the yurt offered space for reflection and connection. Topics like spirituality, solitude, and self-awareness were explored gently, without expectation. Winter was acknowledged as a yin season, a time traditionally associated with rest, restoration, and internal work.

In this stillness, spouses were invited to sit with themselves. To pause for reflection. To discover comfort in solitude. To find clarity amongst the quiet. They learned that, in the absence of noise, insight had room to surface.

Our programs are designed to offer structure, support, and community during times of reflection and transition. As the path ahead begins to unfold, Still reminds us that moving forward does not always require force. Sometimes it starts with breath, silence, and the courage to be gentle with ourselves.

In softness, there is strength. In stillness, there is renewal.
