Wellness Within: Mindful Movement and Meditation Retreat
Friday, January 20 – Sunday, January 22, 2023
This weekend has a focus on mindfulness practices to create a space of wellness from the inside out. Enjoy this time just for you as you experience practices in both movement and stillness, creating a blended balance of Yang & Yin energies in body, mind & spirit.
Your guide for this retreat, Jenny Jackson, embodies the essence of balance with her extensive professional background in both high energy fitness coaching, and over 20 years of guiding yoga practices. Depending on your own unique needs, you may choose to participate in all, or perhaps, only some of the activities on the agenda. Rest assured that no matter what your current level of activity or ability, all of the practices are inclusive, and all participants are supported to ensure that everyone feels successful.
- Cleanse and nourish your body with yummy organic, plant-based meals, while you also nourish your soul.
- Come into physical balance with movement classes that will flex your muscles, as well as your mind & spirit.
- Create your resilient emotional balance with mindfulness-based meditation.
- Enjoy the beauty around you with time hiking the forest.
- Meet new friends and become your own best friends!
Throughout this retreat, you are invited to explore various forms of mindfulness meditations including sitting, walking and eating, as well as mindful movement through yoga and gentle exercise. No experience with yoga or meditation is necessary! This retreat is perfect if you’re curious about it but not sure where to start. Everything during your retreat is completely optional. This is YOUR time. If you need to sleep in, then skip the early morning yoga session. Allow this time to be the kindest gift you can ever give yourself, and honour your true needs.
