Tools for Life Beyond the Retreat
More than just a retreat, this experience offers lasting tools to navigate life with greater ease and joy. Central to the teachings is self-compassion—learning to understand and calm your nervous system, whether it’s in fight, flight, freeze mode, or at rest. By cultivating kindness towards yourself, you can return to a state of connection and safety, fostering healing, growth, and a renewed love for life.
Nature as a Healing Companion
Set in the breathtaking D’Alijo Centre, you’ll find yourself surrounded by natural beauty, with hiking trails that lead to rivers, waterfalls, and natural pools. The retreat naturally integrates the calming effects of nature, enhancing your overall experience. Mornings begin with meditation, as you greet the day with the serene energy of dawn, followed by mindful yoga practices that are tailored to all levels, encouraging each participant to move at their own pace.
Daily Practices for Deep Relaxation
Afternoons offer time for relaxation or exploration, while evenings are dedicated to deep relaxation and restoration practices. Here, in this tranquil environment, you’ll open to the mystery of the present moment, concluding each day with a delicious dinner and dessert.
