Easing into the new year: A winter Retreat for Mindfulness and Connection [Online]
Jan. 18th 10-4pm PT / 1-7pm ET
An Online Daylong Retreat of Community, Presence, and Practice
We’ll gather in shared silence and intentional practice. Through solo meditation, guided relational mindfulness, and off-screen time for walking and movement, we’ll root into the wisdom of the season: slowing down, turning inward, and opening to the beauty of shared presence
Join us as we pause together, breathe together, and remember that connection is both grounding and a potently healing combination of relational mindfulness, silent meditation, and somatic expression. We will move between silent trauma-informed mindfulness practice periods and relational mindfulness practice periods, interwoven with mindful movement, all from the comfort of your own home.
With the support of a guided mindfulness practice, group agreements, and thoughtful facilitation, we will explore what it's like to relate to other people. We can see what our reactions are, and notice how these reactions feel.
Relational mindfulness is an experiential practice of using mindfulness while in connection with others.
