We offer two types of Retreat Experiences

One is a 5-day semi-silent residential retreat at a retreat center, thereby allowing you to let go of daily concerns; allowing yourself to be nurtured, and supported as you learn to be your best friend.

Attending the retreat allows you to rejuvenate in a supportive environment and leave behind the stress and cares of day-to-day life while taking the time required to reflect, rest, and recuperate. You get the space and time to think about yourself, who you are to other people, and what makes you happy.

By incorporating proven psychological and mindfulness strategies, together with embodied practices you will learn to feel a deeper connection to your body heart and being. Here are some retreats we have coming up.

The self-funded retreat (Welcome Home to Yourself)

  • The self-funded retreat (Welcome Home to Yourself) has only one facilitator - Bhavna.
  • The loving kindness practice is the Welcome Home practice that was developed by Bhavna.
  • This retreat has more embodied and connection activities.
  • While still working on deeply health negative beliefs and trauma, there is a feeling of lightness and ease in this retreat.

 

The second type of retreat is the EIT ACE courses that is on 2 consecutive weekends - the first weekend focusing on mindfulness of the mind and the second weekend on mindfulness of the heart.
