Welcome to
Personal Wellness and Mindfulness Retreats in the idyllic Bazaruto Archipelago, Mozambique
How would it be for you if you could manage and deal better with your stress, cope better with changes in your life or reduce everyday anxiety or worries?
What would it be like to have a calmer mind and worry less about the future?
How does it sound to learn about mindfulness meditation in a beautiful unspoiled holiday setting in an undiscovered destination in Africa?
Mindwise offers you the chance to have your own unique individual wellness and mindfulness retreat or personal mindfulness sessions in beautiful Mozambique, or online from home.
We combine Wellbeing and solo retreats with unique tailor-made holidays in Mozambique with a focus on authenticity, sustainability and a personal approach.
Unwind, relax and start your inner wellbeing journey in Vilanculos, Mozambique, overlooking the Indian Ocean with its turquoise waters and pristine beaches.
Or you can join me online from the comfort of your own home.
Join us on a personal well-being and mindfulness retreat to learn how to meditate, deepen your current practice and experience the beauty, calmness and natural rhythms of Africa.
If you are already here on holidays in Vilanculos, you can book personal meditation sessions at your accommodation directly with me.
I also offer these retreats as one or two-day individual online retreats from the comfort of your own home, along with individual online courses for those interested in exploring mindfulness further.
From where we live, we can see the fishermen in their dhows (traditional Swahili sailing boats) glide by, hear the locals playing football on the beach when the tide is out, and see the far-off majestic sand dunes on the islands of the Bazaruto Archipelago.
Mozambique’s unspoiled beaches, relaxed vibe, turquoise waters and the warm embrace of the Indian Ocean create an idyllic setting for rejuvenating escape and meditation practice.
My mission
Hi, I’ m Gerry and it’s my mission to teach you more about mindfulness meditation and how it can help you in your daily life.
I will take you on a journey into your own mind. Together we will explore how our thinking mind often gets in our way, creating difficulties in our lives. You can begin to relate to the world in a totally different way in this unique place to practice mindfulness and meditation.
What is Mindfulness?
You see the word mindfulness a lot these days. Perhaps you have heard that mindfulness helps with reducing everyday stress, worries and low moods. That it helps you to live more in the present moment and worry less about the future. That you can become more aware and find more peace, calmness, relaxation and stability in your life. Or that it helps you to respond in a different way to situations in your daily life instead of from your usual reactionary habits. But you might still have some questions?
What exactly is mindfulness? How can it help you? What can you achieve by practicing mindfulness meditation?
Maybe you want to learn more about mindful meditation but are not sure how? Or perhaps you want to deepen your current meditation experience?
How I can help
As an MA-qualified mindfulness teacher and a daily practitioner, I will guide you on your mindful journey, either face-to-face or online, if you can’t make it to Mozambique.
By sharing my teachings, studies and own experiences I can help you to:
- Look at how our mind works, how it often gets in the way, causing stress and anxiety
- Better deal with change in your life, whether this is in your private or your work life
- Relate differently to your mind and develop your skills to become more aware and present
- Teach you what living in the present moment really means
- Help you to with self-care and compassion tools
- Deepen your practice and experience and continue a mindful journey together.
Blogs about my motivation and sharings
Originally from Ireland, it has been a long life-journey to reach where I am now, with many different experiences along the way. I love to bring my life experiences into my teaching. My teaching is infused with Buddhist psychology – the roots of mindfulness practice.
I like to take the mystery out of mindfulness and mindful meditation. There is nothing mysterious about getting to know your own mind, how it works, and learning how the thinking mind sometimes gets in our way. This can result in stress, anxiety, self-judgments and self-blame.
This lies at the heart of Buddhism – how we ourselves create suffering in our lives. And how, by recognising this, we can overcome it.
I invite you to join me on this journey.
