Guided meditation classes and rest periods will help you distress from the day-to-day go-go-go and let your body and mind unwind, assist you in increasing emotional stability, enhance creativity and feelings of happiness, and intuition and improve the clarity of mind. Meditation has been proven to have long-lasting results on the body and mind, such as: lowering high blood pressure, reducing anxiety attacks, decreasing tension-related pain and improving the immune system.
Morning Meditations
Start your day with a guided meditation. Enjoy the power of breath, guided visualization and movement, and connect to inner peace and calmness, bringing well-being throughout our day.
The meditations are guided and include time to discuss daily issues and concerns. The focus of the sessions will be tailored to the group’s needs, assisting each individual with whatever they may be going through at that moment. The sessions are suited to all levels of meditation experience.
Rest and Journaling
Rest periods are built into your daily schedule so that you can get a nap, go for an independent walk, or read near the fireplace or in the privacy of your room. Though there will be many educational classes and health drinks, rest and rejuvenation are equally important. Evening at the retreat is a quiet time. After your evening steam bath, feel free to journal and meditate on positive changes in your physical, emotional and spiritual well-being.
Semi-Flexible Structure in Afternoons
All activities at Fresh Start are divided into highly recommended and optional. The mornings here are pretty busy with educational classes, fitness, check-ins and meals. These are important to attend the check-in – to check in with you on your well-being and types – to acquire essential tools to continue the after-program self-care. Afternoons are more laid- and flexible. Nature walks, art classes, outings, body care classes and other fun activities happening in the afternoon. These are optional.
Non-Instructional Sundays
Sundays are free from main educational activities. On this day, there is usually a longer guided nature walk and an art class in the afternoon. Enjoy the downtime at the end of the week. You truly deserve it!
Note: The drinks and meals are served at the retreat on Sunday, as usual.
