Living In The Now
A five day reteat celebrating life and the present moment
Program Overview
This program is the next step for all our previous Living in Balance participants. It is a five day experiential program designed to enhance the celebration of life and in the process, to heal any resistance to living more in the present moment. The program also provides practical strategies for finding freedom from limiting thoughts and accessing the power of being more present.
Format
This retreat will deepen contact with the true self, the natural world, others and with spirit. Through meditation and mindfulness processes, you will continue your journey towards greater compassion and kindness to yourself and others. Old dramas of shame, self-doubt and worry will heal along the way.
Living in the Now will help to develop more sensuality, body awareness, patience, presence and the essential quality of gratitude. As you slow the momentum of the thinking mind, you will also learn to accept life the way it is, to appreciate simple pleasures and above all, open yourself to receive love and healing. As you let go of habits of control and "defendedness", you will feel your heart soften and your creative energies flow. This will provide the freedom to choose the road ahead with confidence, and to find real power
We will also refresh, continue and deepen the experiences gained from Living in Balance by bringing meditation more into everyday life, managing emotions in a healthier way, using self-expression for maintaining clear boundaries and releasing the old dependency mindset to become more a creator of your life. Let your true self shine through as you open to Living in the Now and claim the power of being present.
