Rest Relax Rejuvenate

Welcome to Silence Speaks, Cayman’s exclusive silent retreat for the busy and the brave, a  sanctuary for rest and rejuvenation. Located within the stunning luxury beachside property Evolution, you have the unique opportunity to consciously disconnect from the demands of everyday life, liberate yourself from digital devices, and escape the clutches of your never-ending to-do list.

Embracing silence allows you to tap into a multitude of benefits. It offers respite from the constant mental chatter, promoting deep relaxation and stress reduction. By disconnecting from external noise, you create space for introspection, self-reflection, and personal growth.

At Evolution House, you’ll find everything you need to make your stay comfortable. Engage in beach meditations, gentle yoga, and calming beach walks, allowing the soothing sounds of nature to wash over you. Participate in breathing exercises and workshops that guide you through the transition from external chaos to inner tranquility. Savor nourishing meals that nourish your body and support your well-being. Immerse yourself in the nurturing embrace of peaceful silence and unlock the profound stillness that resides within you.

Take this much-needed break, slow down, and reconnect with yourself. Our retreat provides the ideal environment to rest deeply and rediscover the boundless peace that resides within you. Join us and embark on a transformative journey towards inner harmony and rejuvenation.

Closing Circle

"Wow! Silence is serene, spiritual, necessary! It was hard but I absolutely loved it and needed it. I consider myself a verbal processor, so it was hard not to "talk" about things that came up for me. This desire to verbally process by talking to others is something I want to dive more into. I hope to be part of something like this again. You have no idea what a gift it was."

Emily

"This experience has been incredibly unique and such a balance between structure and downtime, the epitome of rest and RESET. This retreat has equipped me with knowledge, technique, and UNADULTERATED self-refl. The food accommodation and intimacy were well thought out and authentically executed. Stillness and silence helped me sit with traumatic experiences I was aware of but didn't face until now. I have been able to shift perspective and recalibrate. I am so grateful."

S.D.

"This was my first experience of silence and I really didn't know what to expect. The retreat was so much more than silence. The depth we covered around rest and what it actually means was mindblowing to me, even some of the subtle "A-ha's". I feel like my WHOLE BEING got a RESET. "

"This experience was incredible and exactly what I needed! To be honest the only thing I would have changed is for the retreat to be a little longer. I feel like I just started to find my sweet spots and didn't have enough time to get to my next edge. I can't thank you enough.”

Kim
