“Understanding how your own mind operates frees you to become the person you truly are.
Your mind wants to keep you safe… but only according to the rules it has learned.
True freedom comes when you learn to choose to change your beliefs rather than running on default.”
―
Mindshift: Pushing Beyond Your Limits Women’s Retreat is unlike any other women’s immersion retreat. Immersion comes from the Latin word immersion, a stem of immerser meaning “to plunge in, dip into, sink, submerge,” from assimilated form of in- “into, in, on, upon.”
Speakers and Facilitators:
This retreat is an immersion in nature incorporating the five elements (metal, wood, water, fire, and earth), representing the retreat’s five core principles: creativity, solid foundation, growth, passion, and connection.
The intent of being “Back to Basic” enables us to find a “breathing space” and a “sense of belonging.” Our experience of being immersed in nature brings a sense of discovery, grounding us with our five senses (sight, smell, touch, hearing, and taste).
- Sense of Sight- Nature and its tranquil sceneries calm our minds and sensibilities.
- Sense of Smell – The aromatics of nature, from flower to wood, evoke certain emotions and affects our mood.
- Sense of Touch –Nature’s different textures and patterns provide depth and character to our lives.
- Sense of Hearing-Nature’s sound and whispers bring forth many emotions and moods.
- Sense of Taste: The most exotic tastes of nature’s foods give us a comforting sensation and nourishment for our bodies.
