One of the Top Ten Meditation Retreats in the World Moves to Santa Barbara County

MONTECITO, Calif. - March 8, 2023 - PRLog -- After the renowned Silent Stay Meditation Center in Vacaville was destroyed by a wildfire in 2020, founders Bruce and Ruth Davis used the opportunity to relocate to beautiful, spiritual Montecito at the Pacifica Graduate Institute.

It is easy to see why this 35-acre hilltop institute, nestled among old-growth oak trees, and surrounded by the mountains and the sea, appealed to the Davis'. Pacifica Graduate Institute offers a unique and inspiring setting for learning and growth. It is a fitting location for a retreat to find your inner peace.

The Silent Stay Retreat in Montecito is a new addition to the Davis' other retreats in Assisi Italy and Bali, Indonesia. Their retreats have been listed as one of the top ten meditation retreats in the world by Travel/Leisure Magazine and more recently CNN. Even when alone, most people will have a phone, tablet, or computer within reach and multiple other distractions minute by minute. Opportunities for pure rest, for true silence and stillness, are rare.

"The quiet helps everyone find this inner place of love and beauty that is always present but mostly covered by busy-ness, the gift of silence is having nothing to do, nothing to say, having time to enjoy solitude, gentleness, and a quiet mind. A silent retreat is a gift for your own peace of mind," said Ruth Davis.

Bruce Davis has written many books on the subjects of meditation and spiritual healing such as The Magical Child Within You and Hugs and Kisses. His latest book is Unveiling The Heart of Awareness". "Silence is therapeutic and healing," said Bruce Davis. "Our mission is to share the tools that allow us to connect with our inner peace inside their heart. We teach our guests how to live a life of simplicity, leading to a more fulfilled and happier life".

Ruth Davis has published Journeying up the Mountain ~ an Initiation into the 10 Cosmic Powers and Sacred Movement Ritual ~ Yoga Philosophy in Movement.

Silent Stay Retreats offer 3-day retreats that consist of heartfulness meditations and "non-doing periods" that allow individuals to take time to reflect, journal, or walk around the beautiful Montecito campus and be with nature, all while practicing silence. Accommodation, gourmet meals, and nothing to worry about are included.
