About This Retreat
Join us for a restorative and transformative weekend retreat dedicated to mindfulness of breathing and the liberation of destructive emotions. This retreat offers a compassionate and practical approach to working with transforming anger, anxiety, guilt, and depression and living a life of Emotional Elegance.
The process of cultivating emotional elegance begins with taking complete responsibility for the way one feels, meaning not blaming others for your life. Practical skills that have evolved from the Buddhist traditions will be offered with pragmatic and easy to assimilate teachings on bringing an end to destructive emotions through mindfulness meditation and highly effective cognitive behavioral techniques that have been studied and researched for their efficacy.
Through guided mindfulness meditation in every session, we’ll explore the most effective Buddhist insight practices and evidence-based cognitive tools for transforming the emotions that bind the heart and mind.
✨ All are welcome. Come as you are, breathe, and begin again.
