Mindfulness practices have been an integral part of most Eastern and Western religions. However, only recently has modern science caught up with ancient traditions, proving that engaging in various practices can literally transform the way we perceive, feel, and act. This can bring about less stress, improved cognition, increased creativity and overall sense of wellbeing. Join me for a weekend of exploration into the many ways of practicing mindfulness to find those that resonate with you.

 During this retreat, you’ll learn mindfulness practices to produce increased well-being, clarity of mind, and a more positive outlook. We’ll cover…

•   The science behind mindfulness

•   The importance of learning to manage your mind

•   Ways to spend more time being in the present to grow in consciousness

•   The way thoughts in your mind inform your actions

•   How slight shifts in awareness change more than what is seen, heard or felt

•   Options for managing stress that go beyond hype and provide lasting results

•   Why rituals are important for change and how to create rituals that stick
