It is common to hear, “You have to live in the present,” but what does this mean, and more importantly, how do you do it?

 

Mindfulness is paying attention to the present moment experience with curiosity, openness, kindness and without judgment. It is a progressive training that integrates body, mind, and heart to develop a clearer and brighter level of awareness that allows us to see reality as it is, opening space to live life with greater presence and connection.

​

In a changing world with so many internal and external challenges, mindfulness offers the possibility of feeling greater balance and tranquility, and it allows us to respond consciously to these daily challenges instead of reacting automatically. 

​

Mindfulnest Retreats have been created to help you learn and practice the fundamentals of mindfulness. Inspired by monastic retreats, more than a class or a workshop, we offer a virtual space for immersion in contemplation and silence to develop an intensive practice with the necessary support to go deeper into meditation and feel greater focus, compassion, kindness, and strength.

​

No previous experience is required, and it is open to those new to mindfulness and those with a more advanced practice.

​

This is a silent retreat, and while we will have space for questions, the format is designed so that participants remain in noble silence with a dedicated and sustained practice as much as possible. We recommend that participants make arrangements to create a suitable space in their homes or the place from which they connect.

​

What to expect?

You will have guided and moving meditations, talks, and breathing exercises, in addition to participating in small groups with the facilitators. The schedule includes spaces for eating and resting. In the evenings, it is the participants' responsibility to maintain an atmosphere of silence and contemplation.​

​

Schedule:

From Friday, January 24, 5:00 pm EST. until Sunday, January 26, 12:30 pm EST

This retreat is designed to support your meditation practice but is not intended as a space for therapy or psychological assistance. If you are in the midst of a crisis, a moment of emotional dysregulation, or instability that requires additional support beyond the schedule of meetings with the facilitators, this retreat may not be the most appropriate format for you.
