Naturally Resilient- Personal Retreat, followed by an OPTIONAL 9 week course
RETREAT, (optional) COURSE
Sept 15-19, 2024, Ucluelet, Vancouver Island, BC
This 4 night/3.5 day Retreat is followed by an optional 9 week course
Relax profoundly, Listen Deeply, Leave Inspired!
Experience profound states of relaxation of mind and body, - that state of rest and repair that we crave- in a stunning environment on this wild west coast.
Wander these gorgeous beaches, hug a few giant cedars, and slow down to the present moment, engage your senses and let all your stress slip away.
These 4 days are designed to invite you into a sense of quiet, calm and connection with yourself and the world around you.
Bring your journal, enjoy the spaciousness, engage in fascinating discussions about how we repair our relationship with the world around us, and perhaps learn a personal practice that can support personal resilience in your daily life.
Then- as an OPTION- join us to deepen into that personal practice over the next 9 weeks supported by community in live video calls and guided practices.
When we combine the natural benefits of spending time in nature with a simple personal practice that reinforces the neurology of connection, we amplify those benefits for a lifetime, and build resilience in our daily life.
A Nature Connection Practice invites us to slow down to the present moment, listen deeply through our senses, engage through curiosity and playful connection, value contemplative moments and inspires meaningful engagement. It is slow and contemplative.

We sometimes move over uneven ground, sit on the ground, and though we are often slow and contemplative, participants should be comfortable walking 1-2 km.

Though we will meet online every three weeks, we won’t spend all of our time there!. With some background and guidance, we will be learning practices and invitations that we will take outside to our Sitspot, wander with on the trails, and integrate into our lifestyle.
Explore how a personal nature connection practice can support our resilient and resourced state. This is an invitation to slow down, engage with our senses, and recognize what we call a state of embodied connection.
