Mindful Living Retreat
Rest, Relax, Rejuvenate and Release

Just as the tides ebb and flow, a woman’s body, mind and soul are forever growing and evolving like the constantly changing landscape. On this retreat you will learn skills for wellbeing and ways to nourish the body and mind.
With Katie, take the opportunity for contemplative walks, meditation, time out and sharing women’s wisdom. And gather with Kristin in the kitchen to prepare nourishing nutritional whole foods that are easy to prepare and make at home. This retreat is about YOU, for YOU,- putting YOU first so you can care for those you love and work with

Good morning on this lovely crisp morning.
Some words for you to contemplate on for the week.

Recognising the Pattern Within

In the light of the Reiki precepts, we are invited to take full responsibility for what arises within us, especially when we feel triggered.

Just for today, do not fuel anger… is not a command to suppress, but a compassionate reminder to pause, to witness.

Anger, like all emotions, is a messenger. Yet so often, we direct our reaction outward, convinced that another person or situation is the cause of our suffering. This is a well-worn pattern, a habit of the false self—a belief that if we react or retaliate, the inner discomfort will lessen.

But true healing begins when we turn inward and recognise:
This reaction lives in me. This is my work.

When we respond from anger, we repeat and grow the cycle of hurt. But when we breathe, become still, and choose not to speak or act in the heat of the moment, we allow the precepts to anchor us in responsibility, awareness, and compassion and strengthen the practise of awareness.

Through this practice, we dissolve the illusion of blame.
And with gentleness, we begin to shift the pattern—from reaction to understanding, from projection to presence.

Just for today… may I be kind to myself and others.
Even in the storm.

Have an inspiring week 🥰🙏🏼🙏🏼

Have you ever felt the quiet call to explore Reiki—not just as a healing tool, but as a way of life?
Reiki invites us to return to the wisdom of the heart, to live with greater presence, compassion, and connection to our True Self.
It’s more than a practice—it becomes a path that supports you in every part of your day.
If your heart is whispering yes, perhaps it’s time to answer the call.
Contact us if you wish to inquire about a healing or learning Reiki 🙏🏼. Julie

Preparing for my first Yoga client at my Shanti Space.. feel free to book a time for yourself that suits, or with a few friends if you feel like a regular class or a one off event.

About the Retreat
The meditations will be guided and focused on the breath. These meditations have proven to improve inner mental clarity, health and awaken contentment and inner-joy. They will enable you to recover from stress, anxiety & tension.

The discussions will be based on Emotional Wisdom, the ability to effectively manage one’s own emotions, particularly the disturbing ones, and thus cultivate a calm mind, a warm heart and provide a clearer perspective on life.

As a result, this retreat will bring you peace, happiness and harmony and be the key to unlocking your inner wisdom. The tools given will allow you to focus better on ordinary tasks and make you become more relaxed and peaceful, bringing success for personal, interpersonal and professional relationships.

Khadro has served the FPMT, an International Buddhist Organization for the past 20 years in various roles, and is currently the Resident Teacher at Yeshin Norbu Center in Stockholm. Khadro has led various courses & retreats in NZ, Australia, Sweden, Colombia, India, Nepal and Germany. Her "international" background allows her to have an open, friendly and warm manner.
