The imagery of the waves and ocean in meditation
You can’t stop the waves, but you can learn how to surf” – Jon Kabat-Zinn
The island of Curaçao, surrounded by the turquoise and warm waters of the south Caribbean Sea, offers the perfect backdrop for your inner wellness journey.
In meditation, the imagery of the waves and ocean is often used to describe the mind and the constant chatter of our thoughts. You can imagine that your thoughts are like the waves that are constantly being created, as they head towards the shore. The ocean is the depth of our minds from which all these waves come from and go back to.
During this mindful holiday retreat, we will be exploring ‘ocean mind’. The ocean itself also can be healing and will be right outside your door. The main emphasis in this retreat will be mindfulness meditation and getting to know your mind.
Each day, we will draw our practices from one of the foundations of mindfulness and theme our day around it. We use this to help us ground ourselves, rebalance and let go, all with an attitude of acceptance. Our days involve periods of movement and stillness, examining the flow and change of our lives. Our sessions will involve both theory and practice, where discussion is encouraged.
Meditation practices will take place every morning and in the afternoons and evenings, blended with plenty of relaxation and reflection time and planned activities – all part of the package.
