Some people find themselves stuck in the past, a ruminating mind swirling round with regret. Others are occupied with fears of the future, worrying about change and how it will affect them. We run around trying to do this and that, while this precious moment “right now” is the only one that matters.
This Day Apart Retreat will allow us to be fully awake in our lives. The day will include walking by the lake or in the labyrinth; contemplative dialogue exploring thoughts and emotions and our reactions to them; experiencing our connection and appreciation for food; a body scan and silence with time to journal. You will be provided tools for living in the present moment, right NOW, noticing how the busy mind can actually hinder our bodies.
Marie has been studying, practicing and living mindfully for over 10 years. She has helped many people with MS, and runs mindfulness programs at Lake Quanapowitt in Wakefield, MA and surrounding areas. As a retreat facilitator, Marie will guide the group providing wisdom, experience and compassionate support.
She is also qualified to teach the MBSR (Mind, Body Stress Reduction) program and trained with the UMass Center for Mindfulness Medical School.
