Taking CARE
If you don’t love yourself, you cannot love others. You will not be able to love others. If you have no compassion for yourself then you are not able of developing compassion for others. The Dalai Lama
When was the last time you stopped to think about giving yourself some self-love and self-care, a soothing touch to your mind and body?
Learning to bring compassion and care to yourself may be the most important thing you’ll ever do. But it’s something that most of us have never done.
This personal retreat is all about slowing down and taking the time to show some kindness and compassion towards yourself – something we seldom do.
We rarely stop to think about giving ourselves some self-love and self-care, a soothing touch to our mind and body.
MindWise has specially designed the “CARE” programme to give you every day self-care and self-compassion tools.
When you choose this retreat you will learn how to take care of yourself with a combination of daily practices and mindful activities in the beautiful area of Vilanculos, or from the comfort of your own home. Give yourself some love, care and compassion.
Each day, we will practice one of the elements of CARE :
“C”- Coming to the Body
- Loving care and gratitude for the body that we have
“A” – Acknowledging and Allowing
- Recognising and allowing difficulties, stress-signals and tension in our lives and practicing ways to work with this.
“R” – Responding With Kindness
- Learning to be kind to ourselves with self-compassion
“E” – Expanding Outwards to our Work and Home Lives
- Bringing the practices we learn into our daily lives.
- Bringing self-compassion into our everyday lives
All MindWise retreats are unique and made to measure, depending on your own personal choices. Please get in touch to find out more.
