Mirabelle D'Cunha: Joy Alchemist
Hi,
I'm so glad you found yourself on this page.
The more I journey within the more joy, surprise, and ease find me. There is so much I could say about myself, yet I am still becoming. Carrying who I think I am lightly is delicious.
Joy-Treat came as a meditation download over a few months in response to radical personal transformation.
Joy is multiplied when it's shared, so here I am allowing a melding of joy and silence and sound, of flavor and sensuousness, to flow and inviting you to join the party.
If you need the conventional bio, you can find it here
love,
Mirabelle

Testimonials
Silence Speaks : Impact
Samantha
"This was my first experience of silence and I really didn't know what to expect. The retreat was so much more than silence. The depth we covered around rest and what it actually means was mindblowing to me, even some of the subtle "A-ha's".
I feel like my WHOLE BEING got a RESET."
Emily
"Wow! Silence is serene, spiritual, necessary! It was hard but I absolutely loved it and needed it. I consider myself a verbal processor, so it was hard not to "talk" about things that came up for me. This desire to verbally process by talking to others is something I want to dive more into. I hope to be part of something like this again. You have no idea what a gift it was."
Shuvra
"This experience has been incredibly unique and such a balance between structure and downtime, the epitome of rest and RESET. Stillness and silence helped me sit with traumatic experiences I was aware of but didn't face until now. I have been able to shift perspective and recalibrate. I am so grateful."

Frequently asked questions
Will we be silent all the time?
No, this is a silence and sound retreat. We may speak a little during sessions but mostly with sound or sharing creative stuff.
Conditioning has us associate silence with awkwardness or boredom. We will experience joy in silence, it's possible and it's delicious.
At the beginning of the retreat, we will speak, and get to know each other. I will guide you on how to practice silence in a group, how to communicate if needed, and how to be in silence yourself.
While you will be silent, we will be engaged in practices all through, so it won't be disconcerting like sitting in silence with nothing to do.
We have a small group specifically so I can deeply support you as you navigate and begin to enjoy silence.
I have dietary restrictions and needs. Can I still attend?
Yes. In the past, clients with dietary restrictions or needing specific meals have brought their own food.
We have a fully equipped kitchen to store and heat your food. We only ask that if you are eating at a different time, you eat in your room.
What if my family needs to contact me?
We will provide you with our number, so your family can reach you at all times.

Asha Karia Patel
"Thank you so much for such an incredible weekend. The nidra and last night's breathing practices were incredible! The food was spot on as always. I can't believe how much I enjoy silence. Thank you, thank you, thank you."
Jaslyne Bridges
"Thank you very kindly for sharing your gifts. Your deep caring makes you a wonderful teacher. This has been an excellent challenge for me, several things made me contemplate "Who am I" and "What do I want?". The venue, food, and structure were very thoughtful. I hope you will run more retreats that I will be blessed to attend."
Kirk Steele
"I initially came to the event based mostly on the digital detox component, but I definitely gained more than that. The breathwork night was the largest experience for me. By the last day, I felt "powerful" sort of like I had worked out a muscle inside of my chest. And all I could think about was "Imagine if this was 10 days!"
