This retreat falls under Categories 1, Fully Mandarin.
Entangled in the hustle of the concrete jungle, we so easily forget to breathe—and forget to save a moment for ourselves.
Give yourself an excuse to disconnect. Let’s step up to the city’s heights, leaving the heavy noise far beneath our steps.
This sensory sanctuary unfolds in the rooftop wind. Free from social noise, this is your safe haven in the sky. Here, we ground our senses to let go of tension, tuning into the calming rhythm of a river to soothe the restless mind.
Guided by the whispers of nature, we will write our reflections and release our burdens through gentle, wordless movement. No expectations, no judgments. With the sky and wind as your witness, simply hold space for the self that has worked so hard, and see what your inner heart truly longs for.
Leave your social masks and armor behind. Come breathe on the rooftop and settle your mind. It’s time to re-align with your inner being, and weave your connection back into the universe.
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.
Mindful meditation : Jessica
Jessica Kay Lee is a Columbia University–trained meditation coach and wellbeing educator who helps individuals, communities, and organizations cultivate presence, clarity, purpose, and alignment. Through customized meditative guidance, she supports people to pause, reconnect with themselves, and develop practical tools for navigating stress, transitions, and everyday challenges.
Grounded in her academic foundation in psychology and enriched by mindfulness, embodied practices, and intuitive guidance, Jessica offers both one-on-one coaching and group experiences that are inclusive, deeply supportive, and attuned to the energy of the moment. Her approach is practical yet transformative—helping people shift from overwhelm, uncertainty, and busyness into steadiness, clarity, and deep self-connection.
*This session will be guided in Mandarin.
Sound healing：Jez & Kayo
Sound is one of the oldest gateways into consciousness. Through listening, the body leads awareness into quieter, deeper places. Jez and Kayo work together as Whitemoon, weaving field recording, sound design, and hypnotic guidance into immersive experiences where people reconnect with their own bodies through sound.
*This session will be guided in Mandarin.
Space
As you step inside, the city noise fades, replaced by a calm, grounding quiet.
The Barn is a peaceful hideaway in the city — sunlight and fresh air flow through large windows, and the spacious terrace invites you to stretch, dance barefoot, or enjoy tea with friends as the sun sets.
The view of distant hills and sky brings a sense of everyday calm. If you look closely, you might spot the Maokong gondola slowly gliding across the skyline. The air feels light and clean, with a faint scent of wood.
Inside, there’s a cozy mix of wood, light, and plants that instantly makes you feel at home. It’s the kind of place where you can read, think, or just slow down for a bit.
You might realize that the peace you’ve been looking for has been right here the whole time.
Nourish
At Soul Barn’s community table, our private chef Roy will prepare warm, heartfelt plant-based meals just for you.
With over a decade of culinary experience, Roy brings a quiet passion for seasonal ingredients sourced from across Taiwan. As the former head chef at several plant-based restaurants and a winner of multiple international culinary awards, he has spent years exploring the unique nature of each ingredient — and discovering the gentlest way to bring out its true flavor.
Roy’s cooking philosophy challenges the old notions of vegetarian food. For him, it can be light, vibrant, and full of surprises. Every dish is prepared with intention and care, crafted to nourish both body and soul. You’ll taste the harmony of health and flavor in every bite — and maybe even be moved by how pure and satisfying plant-based cuisine can be.
