Living Silence
Silence breathes through every part of Yellow Rock Sanctuary. It is not enforced. It is offered as a natural part of the atmosphere where the mind softens, the body settles and the silent knowing of being reveals itself without effort.
The sanctuary’s spaces, meals, gardens and daily life all move in the same simple quiet rhythm.
Three Ways to Stay
At Yellow Rock Sanctuary, you are free to enter the space in the way that calls most deeply to you:
1. Simply Be
Come without any plan or agenda and rest in the natural stillness of the sanctuary. Walk the gardens, sit among the trees, share silent meals, breathe the open sky. Allow the peace and the quiet presence of the place to meet you exactly as you are.
No schedule, no requirements — just space, stillness and the gentle remembering of being.
2. Structured Silent Retreat
Join one of our scheduled silent retreats offering structured teachings, silent meditation, periods of deep rest and intended focus toward the essence of non-duality. Structured retreats vary in length, from short immersions to week-long deep rests and for those who are ready for a bigger commitment you can join us for our month long silent retreat. These retreats are held with care to honor the natural pace of each individual's unfolding.
Our retreats are all about the sacred spaces where your inner search softens and the silent knowing of being is allowed to come fully forward.
3. Self-Led (DIY) Retreat
Create your own rhythm. Stay at the sanctuary while choosing to join available sessions as you feel called: meditation teaching & sessions, body care, creative workshops and simple sustainable living classes. Move with your own inner listening, supported by the atmosphere of silent presence.
There is no right way.
There is only your way, unfolding naturally.

Whether you feel called for a day, a week or a season you are welcome here as the one returning to what has always been. As the one remembering who you are and what this experience of life is all about.
Accommodation
Guests are welcomed into spaces designed to support reflection and ease. Choose from the private pods surrounded by nature or shared sanctuary rooms that breathe simplicity and quiet. Each space is a sacred extension of the sanctuary itself — clean, natural and open.
Meals and Nourishment
Organic meals are served daily, prepared with care and intention from food grown in our gardens and polytunnels wherever possible. Meals are shared in silence, allowing the simple act of nourishment to deepen into awareness and gratitude.
Silent Retreats
If you are joining us for a guided Silent Retreat:
-
£360: Shared accommodation in the Sanctuary.
-
£475: Private pod with garden and WC.
Both options are all-inclusive of the retreat itself, your accommodation and all meals. Food at Yellow Rock is lovingly prepared, seasonal and as much as possible ‘farm to fork’ (Sanctuary grown/raised)
Tailored Private Retreats
If you’d like a more personalized private retreat experience, we can create a schedule with you and provide support from different members of the YRS team. Costs vary depending on the program we create together, and the services included (e.g., one-to-one sessions, body practices, time in nature or creative therapies etc).
One-to-One Sessions
When you stay at the Sanctuary, you’ll naturally spend time with the team. Depending on the day, there’s always space for informal conversations and moments of connection, these are simply part of being here and there is no charge for that.
If however, you would like a more structured and private session you are welcome to book a one-to-one with Marcus or another team member. These sessions allow you to go deeper into your retreat experience with focused support and we highly recommend them if you feel called.
Our suggested contribution for a one-to-one session is £100 (if affordable). That said, Yellow Rock Sanctuary is rooted in a donation-based model. If you are struggling financially, please know we will never turn anyone away for the sake of money. Our priority is your access to love, support and presence. Money is simply a practical necessity, never our number one concern. Please see our donation model page on the website.
You can also book one to one sessions with Marcus even if you are not resident. It is common for people to travel to see him for a session or to meet with him online. His personal and spiritual guidance reaches far beyond what most expect and many report significant healing because of meeting and having sessions with him.
