Just ask Google, there are others who have reported on this before Reuter.

Of course most people haven't heard of it. It is basically a gimmicky take on a silent retreat and there is only 1. I'm sure there are all sorts of odd takes on silent retreats in the US too.

Just because Google results show you a thing, doesn't make that thing accurate, but merely prevalent and reduplicated in an index.

These are not reduplications of an index.

These are links to independent sources reporting on the same thing over several years.
