Introduction to Holistic Wellness

What are you looking forward to this retreat? What do you want to take away from your time here? At the welcoming introduction, your retreat schedule will be reviewed to guide you towards your goals. After, through simple relaxation exercises, your mind will become clearer and calmer from any busy thoughts and tiredness you may have arrived with. You will be ready to experience pure mindfulness.

Wellness workshop for a seasonal theme

Learning simple and effective wellness tools can help you work with greater efficiency and effectiveness at home and at work. Learn how to reduce stress, strengthen your core, sharpen your focus, boost your immunity, balance your emotion and alleviate physical pain through breathing techniques, mindfulness practices, a healing exercise and dietary guidelines. Details vary in accordance with monthly/seasonal themes.

Energy yoga and healing Tai-Chi classes for deep relaxation

While you stretch muscles and move joints gently, energy will flow more smoothly through the energy channels (meridians) of the body, refreshing the brain (clarity of mind) and replenishing the body.

Guided outdoor meditations

Reconnect with nature and as well as with your companions. Whether you are aware or not, you are indeed a part of the majesty, mystery and grace of the natural world. Through simple methods of awareness and focus, you can open our hearts and minds to the wonders and graces of the world around you.

Meditative walk-in labyrinth

The beautifully designed labyrinth allows you to walk down the path and reach the center of the circle. There you will find a pagoda of completion and a place to sit. With your journey to the center complete, connect with your recovered inner strength and make a wish, beyond any transient and temporary success, for true happiness and fulfillment in your life.
