Women’s Mindfulness Fall Retreat    October 28-31, 2021

REGISTRATION IS OPEN  Coronovirus Updates to come/ All Deposits will be refunded if REMERC does not open this summer. 

Are you a woman aged 40-75 feeling lost, challenged, alone or confused in your life right now? Are you searching for a way to re-connect with the “You” you used to be, but can’t seem to find again?

Are you a self-aware professional woman looking for more tools to deepen your compassion and authenticity as a woman in your life now? To deepen your relationship with yourself?

Are you aging and sageing and need to expand your spiritual grounding, find more meaning and identity, to feel more alive and settled into this phase of your life?

This retreat is for women in midlife who are looking for tools for self-care, grief work, and self-compassion; or just an opportunity to slow down and feel the support of other women. We will explore mindfulness practices, walking, moving and sitting to drop deeper into our feminine voices and power. Whether you have a mindfulness practice or are curious to explore these tools more deeply, we will create a deeper circle of care and deep listening together.

This year’s retreat will go deeper into grief work and how to create a safe container for doing deep diving.  You will learn about the healing roadmap of IFS, or Internal Family Systems Therapy and how to identify and work with your own internal system.  In this weekend, we will uncover and explore what we know about ourselves deep inside, that is always there for us—when we slow down and get quiet.  We will explore being with each other and being alone, exploring silence and conversation and how each of these experiences can reveal more about ourselves and our hearts and minds.
