Nourishing Mindfulness Retreat 2023
Event description
Nourish Your Body Mind and Spirit
With acclaimed mindfulness teacher Dr Sharn Rocco.
Learn to Love the Life You Live
You will be invited and supported you to nourish your natural capacity for mindful living. Sharn will share insights and understandings gleaned from her decades of teaching, study and practice focussed on bringing mindfulness to life wherever you are and loving the life you live.
Nestled in the magnificent foothills of the Barrington Tops just three hours drive from Sydney and an hour north of Newcastle, the Old Monastery Stroud is the perfect venue for a nourishing weekend retreat.
The Nourishing Mindfulness Retreat program includes guided meditation, mindful movement, walking, speaking, listening, observing and eating.
You will leave the retreat more clear, calm, focussed and connected.
This mostly silent retreat will give you time to be with yourself and by yourself, to rediscover what really matters.
You will open to what is calling for your attention, what resonates and what inspires.
You will learn strategies for transforming what no longer serves you well, and for approaching the opportunities and challenges that life offers with calm, clarity and confidence.
Whether you are a complete beginner or you are wanting to deepen or renew your meditation and mindfulness practice, this retreat will give you the gift of time - time to simply be, to nourish your body, mind and spirit with stillness, spaciousness and silence. This is a precious opportunity to reconnect with simple pleasures and live life with a lighter heart.
You will be nourished by exquisite vegetarian meals, thoughtfully prepared from locally sourced organic produce. Mindful wholefoods caterer and wild food enthusiast, Leah Suters, has designed a menu to inspire and sustain you throughout the retreat and beyond. For anyone interested in creating fabulous healthy meals for whoever is lucky enough to have a seat at their table, this alone makes the retreat great value.
