Homemade Mindfulness Retreat
Experience Your Own Meditation Retreat in the Comfort of Your Home
Watch Promo Enroll in CourseIn today's rush we think too much, want too much, worry too much, and forget about the joy of just being.
Each of us desperately needs time to quiet the mind and reconnect with what really matters. We need space to let go of all that we carry: the tensions, the fears, the pain, the busyness of mind and body.
It’s not about taking yourself out of a place; it's how you learn to access your inner resources and be at peace, wherever you are.
Does any of this sound familiar?
You feel stressed and overwhelmed with everyday life. Everything seems like a struggle and you don’t have energy to truly enjoy your precious life.
The mind just does not want to stop. You experience a continuous struggle with intrusive thoughts and ruminations. Your mind seems foggy and fuzzy and it’s difficult to focus on anything.
You experience psychological distress – including anxiety, depression, sleep disturbance or chronic pain. It seems difficult to manage your emotions, be at ease with your pain, and to let go of fears and anxieties.
You forgot that sparkle that makes you unique and magnificent. You lost the connection with your body, mind and heart, and the people you love most. You know that there is something more that you can offer to the world but don’t know how to go back to your true nature.
You know about the benefits of mindfulness and you are interested to begin, deepen or sustain mindfulness in daily life. You don’t have the budget or the time to travel to far-away destinations and you just want a simple solution in the comfort of your own home.
If you raised your hand to any (or all) of the above, you are in the right place.
The truth is…nothing changes if nothing changes… You need to commit to courageously do the inner work, to create outer change. You then go back into your life more renewed, more refreshed, and ready to engage.
I want you to take a moment to imagine that you could….
Experience unforgettable moments of relaxation and renewal. You discover peace and tranquility and find greater balance and wellbeing.
Conquer your thoughts and quiet the mind. You get out of your head, you begin to have more clarity and to tame your inner critic.
Connect with your creativity and inner wisdom. You turn into your ability to see, hear, smell, touch, and taste to bring about a sense of aliveness and awakening.
Discover real self-confidence through self-compassion. You begin to rewire your brain to love and compassion as a gateway to transform pain and challenging emotions.
Create a deeper connection with your body, mind, and heart. You slow down, listen to yourself, and take time for what really matters. You feel ready to connect and to engage with the word around you.

Some are practices that encourages concentration, other relaxation, and they are blended with creative and fun exercises and also short breaks.
You get the possibility to follow 2 proposed schedules for the retreat or to create your own version.

About Mindfulness
Mindfulness is a natural quality that we all possess. It’s available to us in every moment if we take time to appreciate it. Being mindful means paying close attention to what’s happening in the moment - noticing what's happening inside your own body, inside your mind and also what is happening around you. Put simply, mindfulness is about being present and cultivating a mindset of being open, receptive, accepting and compassionate.
When we practice mindfulness we are practicing the art of creating space for ourselves.
About Silence
The medical establishment is just beginning to understand how this always on digital connection is destroying our health and emotional balance. Recent studies confirm that both external noise and digital noise hurt our focus and sleep and increase stress hormones, anxiety and depression. To add to this, there is also an internal noise coming from our constant internal dialogue, rumination and thoughts in our head. How often do you hear inner voices saying you’re not good enough, not tough enough, not successful enough?
There is a deep strong desire that rises in each of us for actual silence, quiet contemplation, peace of mind and reconnection with our true nature.
Peace of mind is not a destination. It is always available to you, one breath at a time.
Let’s begin this journey together.

Testimonials:
"I’ve tried meditation before but never considered trying out a retreat – certainly not a silent retreat, at that! I am not the silent type, so I was a bit skeptical about the whole experience. Who would have believed me that what I’ve enjoyed and benefited from most was the silence itself. I also had a lot of fun with the creative practices and I’ve tried for the first-time mindful eating. The first night of the retreat was the best, most well-rested sleep I’ve had in a long time. Next time I’m planning to invite my girlfriends over and do the retreat together." Sandra V.
"I had a stressful, crazy month with a lot of pressure from work. Everything seemed to pile up. At home I have 2 small children, so silence is a rare commodity. I was just looking for some peace of my mind and to calm down. I sent my family to the zoo and decided to give mindfulness a try. I read a lot about meditation but I’m a total beginner. The Homemade Mindfulness Retreat was exactly what I needed. What I enjoyed the most was the variety of meditation practices the course introduced me to, as well as having all this time for myself. I felt relaxed and calm and I learned some useful tips on how to practice mindfulness in my very busy life." Marco T.
