Retreats
The work, given room and time it cannot have in a single afternoon in London.
There is one retreat. It is small, small enough that it is arranged around the people in it, not the other way round. It is offered by application only.
Silence is the condition, and it is the hard one. Kilian holds a place to one test: what you can hear from the room at six in the morning. Most of the beautiful places fail it.
By application
What it is not
This is not a wellness holiday.
There is no programme, no schedule of activities, no group of strangers. If that is what you are looking for, this is not it.
What it is for
Long enough to stop being reachable.
A session gives the body an hour where nothing is required of it. Then you get dressed, and the day is waiting for you on the pavement.
The retreat is the same work, uninterrupted, and for the few who have gone all the way in a single session it is the natural next thing. Not a break from your life. A distance from it, long enough to hear yourself over it.
Who else is there
Everyone in the room is carrying something.
The people beside you came for the same reason, and they already know what it costs to be the one everybody leans on.
Most people this work is for have never been in a room where that was true. They are the capable one, at work and at home, and they are the capable one on holiday too. Here, nobody needs anything from you.
Nothing is required of you socially either. There is no circle, no sharing round, no introductions where you say what you do for a living.
If you want to be there
The first people asked will be the people on this list.
You will hear from Kilian once, when it opens. Not before, not about anything else, and never from anyone but Kilian.
