About Zoetic River

Mission & Vision

Zoetic River exists to make silent retreat accessible to everyone.

For me, silent retreat has been the single most powerful practice in the meditation toolbox. It fundamentally changed my relationship with my mind and continues to deepen my practice whenever I return to silence. Yet many of the retreats that shaped my path were inaccessible to many people.

We created Zoetic River to change that.

Our retreats are non-denominational and designed for beginners. You don’t need years of meditation experience, special knowledge, or any particular belief system—only a willingness to slow down, become quiet, and pay attention.

Our mission is simple: to create a beautiful, welcoming place where anyone can step away from the noise of daily life and experience the restorative power of silence.

Mindfulness retreat
This retreat gave me the reset I desperately needed. My work/life balance was way off. I was in survival mode and did not recognize it. At Zoetic River I was able to slow down, enjoy nature and find myself. I connected with truly caring, and compassionate people. Who wanted me to live my best life possible. I will be forever grateful. Thank you!

Unexplainable!
I was completely elevated to another state of consciousness and so much energy flowing through me that it honestly felt like it was about to burst out of the top of my head. There is absolutely nothing in this world that has made me feel like that before. For at least 2 days after I was in another state of calm and peace that nothing could penetrate the positive energy that was in my soul. Dara and the whole team literally make you feel like family. I can't wait to go back for more!

Beautiful Sound Bath Under the Stars
I love Zoetic- the natural beauty of the property on the peaceful Blanco River, the friendly, helpful staff, the delicious food, and of course, the star sound bath was amazing. Such a positive, restorative experience - thank you!

Yin-ish Yoga, Soundbath
Dara's class was more of a restorative approach. She got us deep into our hips where we're known to store emotions, then closed with sound bath. I left empowered, grounded, clear. And the next day a bit sore, confirmation the yoga worked!
