RETREAT: Beginning the Year with Wise Compassion, Appreciation & Trust

This "Open the Heart and Still the Mind" silent overnight retreat will be held in the very nurturing and beautiful environment of Mont Fleur, nestled in the mountains near Stellenbosch. It is suitable for beginners and experienced practitioners and provides an opportunity to begin the year with compassionate self-care, wisdom and trust in the possibility of joyful new beginnings.

The overnight retreat begins at 9 for 9:30am on Saturday 30th and ends after lunch at 2:30pm on Sunday 31st January.

Drawing on the wisdom of Buddhist and Western psychology and through various mindful and compassion meditation practices, including sitting and walking meditations and qigong movement meditation, we will learn how to connect more deeply with our embodied, authentic presence in shared silence and stillness. As we ground ourselves in a safe and welcoming home within, listening gently to body, heart and mind with kindness and compassion, we will begin the year cultivating self-compassion and open-hearted wisdom. As we deepen our connection to ourselves in the silence, we will discover ways to embody courage, clarity and trust, as we nurture compassionate new beginnings and joyful, heartfelt presence.

A 30 - 50 minute pre-retreat individual session via Zoom is required for newcomers or if you have not attended one of Sue’s residential retreats before. The cost will be covered by medical aid or reduced if necessary. Please contact Sue on sue.stillmind@gmail.com to arrange a time.

CPD accreditation for psychologists and other HPCSA (or equivalent) registered professionals will be confirmed and will carry an annual admin fee.
