Silent Retreat
A Unique Experience
Who Are We For?
What Do We Do?
A New Experience
A week-long retreat where individuals learn how people with hearing impairments live. Participants will be in an environment that mimics deafness
Spreading Awareness
Empathy and Knowledge
Background of Silent Retreat
We wanted to create a controlled environment which would make the experience more powerful, whether it’s feeling empathy toward the hearing impaired or immersing yourself in sign language.
This retreat was organized by a dedicated staff who cares about spreading awareness of hearing disabilities. The facilities are outfitted with specialized equipment to simulate the difficulties of a disabled person’s life (Ex: TV's with no sound). We will provide transportation at the retreat site and also invited guest speakers. There will be many fun activities that provides insight on being hearing impaired.
Silent Retreat is an utterly unique experience. There are language learning camps and camps for disability support, but none combine the two. We bring it all together into one memorable trip!
