5-days retreat
You will enhance your awareness of how your senses are provoked and better understand how to manage the stress triggers in your life.
While real threats do affect us, the added stress can come from our imagined threats. Awareness will help you to identify stress triggers so you can apply appropriate antidotes to quieten the mind. You will learn how you do have choices in how you respond to each situation as it occurs. Choose to no longer be passively driven by your habitual patterns, and awaken to changes you can make to adjust these behaviours. Let these conscious choices help you regain control to bring you the well-being you want and help you change the course of your life for the better.
Instead of seeing how the world is treating you, you will learn to see how you are treating the world. By awakening your senses to how you impact the world, you will see if you’re adding goodness to it or taking goodness away from it. You will eradicate your insensitivity and destructive habits to cultivate sensitivity towards others and build constructive habits.
A mind that is calm and clear is a more resilient mind – able to bounce back with greater speed and ease when a crisis arises.
