Welcome to
What if you could find more stillness in your mind? Less chatter? Feel more calm and relaxed and less anxious or worried?
Mindfulness Retreats in Africa and Beyond
Hello, I’m Gerry Rickard, and welcome to MindWise. Originally from Ireland, my mission is to help you find inner stillness through mindfulness meditation, whether you join me online or in person here in Mozambique.
Each retreat or course I offer, is uniquely designed with a theme to help you calm your mind, reduce stress, and overcome the challenges that daily life brings. Our minds often get caught up in constant thoughts, but through meditation, you can learn to quiet those distractions and discover the peace and stillness that’s always within you.
Join me on a journey into the stillness of the mind that is always here, yet we seldom know how to find it.
Your Own Solo Retreat in Mozambique, Africa
If you choose to come to Mozambique, you’ll experience mindfulness in a breathtaking setting—turquoise waters, beautiful beaches, and the serene nature of Vilanculos – the gateway to the idyllic Bazaruto Archipelago. It’s the ideal environment to deepen your practice and relax.
In addition to retreats, together with Unique Mozambique we also offer Mindful Holidays, where you can combine meditation with authentic local experiences, like a local food tour or watching the sunset over the Red Dunes. It’s a wonderful way to unwind, connect with nature, and integrate mindfulness into your travel.
Online Solo Meditation Retreat
If you prefer staying at home or are not able to come to Mozambique, I offer personalized online retreats and sessions as well, where we’ll focus on what’s most important to you and work together to meet your needs.
My Misson
I’m an MA-qualified mindfulness teacher and Buddhist practitioner, and I keep my approach simple and clear.
There’s no mystery in mindfulness—I’m here to help you understand your mind and guide you toward more clarity, calm, and presence in your everyday life.
A great river of stillness runs within each of us. It is always there, flowing silently and still, yet alive. It waits for us patiently to catch its current and float along with it. Whether we decide to do that or not, it keeps flowing. It doesn’t judge. It doesn’t discriminate. It just flows.
Buddhist psychology
My teaching is infused with Buddhist psychology – the roots of mindfulness practice – along with secular approaches such as Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction, which I am qualified to teach.
Join Me on this Mindfulness Journey
Whether you’re interested in a solo retreat, one-on-one sessions, or just want to explore what mindfulness can offer, I’m happy to guide you. Feel free to reach out, and together we can plan a retreat that works for you, wherever you are.
