Self-inquiry
I recently completed a three-day silent retreat with Melissa at The Croft Farm, and I can honestly say it was one of the most profound experiences of my life. Melissa is an incredible human, she radiates a genuine peace and light unlike anyone I’ve ever met. She truly embodies what she teaches, and her presence alone has been deeply transformative for me.A month on from the retreat, I’m still aware of a deep sense of contentment and peace that I know stems directly from this experience. The Croft itself is a beautiful setting, every detail was thoughtfully cared for, and we were looked after with warmth and attention. It’s the perfect environment to sink into silence and reconnect with yourself.This retreat has left a lasting impression, and I’m genuinely inspired to continue exploring and deepening my relationship with silence.Huge thanks to Melissa, Keber and the Croft Team.
