RELAX – REBOOT – REFRESH

With Dr Sharn Rocco

As the year disappears in a frenzy of to-do lists getting longer, this is just the circuit breaker you need.

Experience the joy of simply being with nowhere to go and nothing to do.

You'll learn skills for reducing stress and finding calm in the midst of chaos and leave ready to bring your best self to the festive season.

Give yourself the gift of a day.

Nestled into Orleigh Park overlooking the beautiful Brisbane River at West End, the South Brisbane Sailing Club is the perfect location to spend a quiet day gently guided to connect with your inner capacity for mindfulness, stillness and loving kindness. It is the perfect place simply to be, with nowhere to go and nothing to do.

The program begins at 10am and will conclude at 4pm.

Whether you feel like a complete beginner, a dabbler or are regularly bringing mindfulness to life, this urban retreat is for you.

You will experience the pleasure and benefits of a day of mostly silent, guided mindfulness practice and instruction.

With Christmas only two weeks later, this daylong retreat is perfect timing, to do something for you before you're swamped by all that that needs to be done for everyone else. You will leave relaxed, energised and ready to bring your best self to the pressures and preparations of the festive season.

Leave feeling relaxed and confident, equipped with simple strategies to bring greater calm and clarity to the challenges and opportunities of daily life.
