Cultivating Wisdom Through Self Compassion: A Mindfulness Retreat For Women

December 01 - December 03, 2023

Paula Evans

Mindful self-compassion allows us to build a greater sense of our own self-worth and awareness, creating a 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-judgment! 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, as well as 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 deep within.

“Homerun. One of the best retreats I’ve ever attended. Was an incredible treat especially to have so much access to Krishna Das, and I will never forget the Robert Thurman’s hysterical and insightful words. Incredibly inspiring and powerful weekend!”

Susan W.

“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…”

Magda

“I loved every minute at Menla. It was as if heaven was delivered to me on earth–the people, the food, the services at the spa, even my walks to the meeting room were infused with magic. I was greeted with so much warmth and caring with every interaction.”
