Get Set for 2024: New Year Retreat at TRC

• Do you need time to refocus and reconnect?
• Are you yearning to change direction or deepen your current work?
• Do you wish for a gentle start to 2024?
• How would it feel to start the year simply?

This offering extends the Weaving Intentions retreat for a 5-night stay.

For the Weaving Intentions, you will be invited to explore how to meet each moment of your life with clarity and care, not just at the start of the year, but each and every day. I will guide you through practices of mindfulness meditation, gentle yoga and expressive movement to awaken the senses and witness what is yearning to emerge. We will use embodiment practices to become receptive and open, to attune and align, and from this grounded place, to touch into the qualities we wish to cultivate in the year ahead. During the week, we will continue to practice together, with more time for walks and journalling, imagining and planning.

I am a retreat facilitator, mindfulness mentor and researcher-practitioner in the fields of awareness, compassion, and social engagement and recently authored The  Compassionate Activist. After obtaining a doctorate in mindfulness and teacher education, I am now an Associate Researcher at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg. With a focus on compassionate activism and somatic meditation, I work with those engaged in social transformation and healing, to alleviate stress, increase resilience and cultivate wise, compassionate action. Nothing gives me more joy than supporting others to develop their own, life-enhancing, contemplative practices.
