Personal wellness and mindfulness retreats with a qualified teacher
Personal wellness and mindfulness retreats in a beautiful and peaceful setting facing the idyllic Bazaruto Archipelago in Mozambique.
From a tropical garden full of butterflies, overlooking the Indian Ocean with its turquoise waters, you can unwind, relax and start your inner well-being journey.
Personal Wellness and Mindfulness Retreats in Africa
Come and join me 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. From where we live, we can see the fisherman in their traditional dhows (sailing boats) glide by, hear the locals play football on the beach when the tide is out, and see the far-off majestic sand dunes on the island of Bazaruto Archipelago.
Mozambique’s unspoiled beaches and coastline, the turquoise blue water and warm embrace of the Indian Ocean as well as the relaxed local vibe here in Vilanculos, create an idyllic setting for a rejuvenating escape and meditation practice.
Hi, I’ m Gerry and together with my wife Christina, we run MindWise here in Vilanculos, Mozambique, facing the idyllic islands of the Bazaruto Archipelago – known for the rare dugong, pristine corals and beautiful underwater world. As a mindfulness and meditation teacher, 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 perfect place to practice mindfulness.
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 still have a lot of 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?
I have tried Meditation but it did not work
Maybe you’ve already tried mindfulness with a meditation app but gave up, feeling you have no time to meditate. Perhaps you get frustrated as your thoughts keep getting in the way. Exactly! That’s how our mind works! You may also have followed some guided meditations on video but they don’t seem to be relevant to you and your life right now.
Or maybe you are facing a change in your work life and are afraid to face it – a career change, upcoming retirement, organisational change. You might be experiencing a difficult event in your personal life such as loss, separation, divorce, or sickness, and find it difficult to accept what is happening right now. You don’t know where to turn or how to handle it. Or you are simply struggling with an always busy mind, feeling rushed, finding it hard to relax and feeling that you constantly have to achieve something.
Maybe you need a teacher?
I am here to help and guide you.
How Mindfulness Helps
As an MA-qualified mindfulness teacher and a daily practitioner, I will guide you on your mindful journey, either face-to-face or with online sessions. 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 and how our thoughts and thinking patterns contribute to everyday stress and anxieties.
- 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. We often take the time to take care of or focus on others but rarely take time to help ourselves!
- Help you to learn to accept the way you are, with all your so-called imperfections and failures.
- Deepen your practice and experience and continue a mindful journey together.
- Discover a place of awareness and stillness within.
About me
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 these experiences into my teaching. 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.
