When was the last time you were truly quiet with yourself?
Our days are packed with noise—conversations, notifications, endless to-do lists. It’s easy to forget that silence is something we can choose.
This retreat takes place in a peaceful valley surrounded by the green mountains of Wulai. Here, we set aside words, slow down, and give ourselves space to breathe and listen.
Without talking, we start noticing more—our breath, the sound of wind in the trees, the way our bodies respond to stillness. A glance or a smile becomes enough to feel connected.
A day of silence helps us clear our minds, settle our hearts, and return to daily life with a steadier, calmer energy.
What To Expect
Wear your most comfortable clothes and bring environmentally friendly tableware.
Put down your phones and communicate with the world attentively.
Stay weird and stay unique.
Full schedule will be provided after booking is confirmed.
Forest Silent Retreat Experience: Gina
“Follow your heart and you’ll realize that everything is connected.”
Gina has received her yoga qualification in places including Taiwan, Thailand and Nepal.
In her experience, she has felt unity with the universe by yoga, meditation, chanting and self observation and has also found a connection with her inner self that she has never felt before as a kid.
Gina believes that listening closely to your heart, and observing every movement can help you gain a better understanding of yourself.

Space
Nestled in the mountains of Wulai, Fusen Banzhi rests quietly beside the forest — a hidden retreat often wrapped in mist.
Surrounded by lush greenery and fresh mountain air, the space carries the gentle sounds of nature - birdsong, rustling leaves, flowing water — a melody that welcomes you home.
“You can feel the forest breathe here.” Follow the moss-covered steps and winding paths to a space where you can release the weight of daily life and simply be.
Time moves slower here, giving your heart a chance to return to calm and stillness.
*Note: The property includes stairways.

Nourish
Amid the mountains and forests, Fusen Banzhi Trio draws inspiration from indigenous food culture, weaving early foraging memories with the pure flavors of nature onto the dining table. By carefully selecting seasonal, locally sourced ingredients in their original form, and transforming them with delicate craftsmanship, each dish becomes a reflection of the land’s character—carrying the fragrance of the forest and the warmth of the sun.
As you dine embraced by nature, your body and mind gently unwind, letting go of daily burdens and leaving only a lightness that feels deeply nourished.
