Yoga and Meditation Retreat (Mindfulness: Getting Started)

Join us for a weekend retreat of pure relaxation and bliss. Time to slow down, recharge and de-stress. There will be opportunities for contemplation, meditation and reflection.

There will be three different yoga practices (yin, restorative and a vigorous flow) to nourish the body. We will offer devotional intentions and ways of exploring and reflecting on the theme individually and in the group. This will include periods of guided and silent meditation (sitting, walking) to strengthen present moment awareness. Part of the weekend will be held in silence. The highlight of our retreat is a session with Pinoy Laughter Yoga guru, Paolo Trinidad.

We ask all participants to follow the five guidelines during the retreat.
1) not harming anything – which also means looking after one another.
2) not to steal – which also means to be honest and share things.
3) no sexual misconduct – which also means be honest in a relationship, being kind to your friends.
4) not lying – which also means speaking in a kind and receptive way.
5) no drugs or alcohol – which also means to keep your mind alert and mindful.

These guidelines act as a common bond while we are together; they help us guide our body, speech and mind. They help us guide the way we act and provide a common standard. They also help us to develop concentration and awareness. Firstly, we have to remember the principles, think about them. We then use them to guard ourselves against outward actions that are not helpful to co-operation and understanding.
