CULTIVATING WISDOM THROUGH SELF COMPASSION: A DECEMBER RETREAT FOR WOMEN

December 02 - December 04, 2022

Paula Evans

Mindful self compassion allows us to build a greater sense of our own self worth and awareness, creating greater connection with our bodies and emotions and a stronger presence with all that surrounds us, right here, right now.Strengthen your ability to be present with yourself, just as you are, with loving kindness. Just imagine a life free of self judgement! We will plant the seeds....Through discussion, Dharma, gentle body movement, sitting and walking meditation, you will gain practical knowledge to help bring self compassion and care into your daily life. And trust in your own inner wisdom. All in the nurturing environment of Menla and under the care of a skilled mindfulness therapist.Mindful self compassion will be woven into the entire weekend.Be with yourself with greater love and ease - body, mind and spirit, and a new trust in the wisdom you hold deeply within.

“The program was extremely well-oiled, and I’m already thinking about attending next year’s event. Moreover, the lush campgrounds, spa services, friendly staff, and delicious vegetarian meals helped complete a well-rounded, inspirational experience. A thousand thank yous.”

Rochelle Livingston

“I have been all over the world and this spa is by far my most favorite. The service, the facilities and the kindness is beyond my past experience. I recommend going to Menla and making the Spa your first stop every day.”

Janice L. Rous

“It’s such an amazing and spiritual location–I came back feeling rejuvenated and recharged… It was so very special knowing the place belongs to the Dalai Lama! I loved our room. My favorite things were that there was no TV in the room, the beds were so comfortable, and it was so quiet and relaxing there with the windows opened. The grounds were amazing…”
