Cultivating Wisdom Through Self Compassion: A Spring Mindfulness Retreat For Women

April 01 - April 03, 2022

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.

“This was hands down the best spiritual retreat experience I’ve had since I left my teacher’s ashram. Omega, Kripalu, Esalen don’t compare to the lovely energy happening at Menla. The small, intimate facilities allow them to make delicious food, very sattvic & each meal feels restoring to vitality. The staff is very kind and helpful. Everyone we met seemed to have a fullness of heart and a strong dedication to be of service to the place & the guests. The environs are gorgeous! The hiking trails are well marked. I could spend 100 days here & never wish for the outside world. I cannot recommend this place more.”

 

Aimee S.

“About a three-hour bus ride from Port Authority Bus Terminal to Menla. As the landscape changes from cityscape to mountains, and as you witness your cell phone signal strength dwindle to “no service,” you quite literally unplug yourself from the mundane hustle and bustle of everyday life back to simplicity of nature.”

Nina D.

Absolutely amazing! Perfect in every way! Loved my massage-rejuvenating! Loved my facial – healing and restoring! My favorite place!
