🌿 Make Space for Silence, Stillness & Renewal

Step away from the busyness of everyday life and create space for a deeper connection with yourself.

Seven Oaks Retreat Center is offering new Self-Guided Silent Retreat Weekends in December, January, and February!

Set in the secluded, peaceful surroundings of Seven Oaks, these retreats offer the freedom to create your own experience of meditation, mindfulness, and rest—all within a supportive environment where your needs are taken care of.

Spend your days following your own rhythm, whether that means sitting in meditation, walking in nature, or simply resting. Complete silence throughout the retreat creates an opportunity for deep personal reflection, greater self-awareness, and renewed clarity.

No set schedule. No distractions. Just time and space to turn inward.

🦉 A little Seven Oaks magic on the way to work…

You never quite know who you’ll encounter on the way to Seven Oaks Retreat Center. When Retreat Host Nicole Butler was on the way to work, a Barred Owl made an appearance, offering a beautiful reminder to slow down, look around, and notice the wildness that surrounds us. Thank you, Nicole, for the awesome photo!

We’re grateful to share this special place with the birds, trees, wildlife, and all the beings who call these woods home.

Whoooo knows who you might meet on your way to Seven Oaks?

A well done program presented by a professional and passionate teacher; hosted at Seven Oaks Retreat Center in Madison, Va.

Two Week Shamanic Healing Intensive™
Developed by Michael Harner

Originated by Michael Harner and based upon decades of research and experimentation, this residential program in advanced core shamanism is described by former participants as "transformative," "life-changing," and "the most important spiritual experience of my life."

A variety of advanced methods are practiced in this program, including extraction healing, power soul retrieval training, psychopomp work, divination, and work with the spirits of nature.
