Category: Inspire & Connect
*Inspire & Connect provides retreats that help us pursue inner happiness, peace, freedom, and personal growth through wellness group activities. Here in a safe space we discuss ideas without judgement, and share stories we've never told a soul.
*Please note that this is an adult-exclusive retreat available to people 18 years of age and older.
One thing that we have observed is that our outer looks can reflect our current mood, mindset and diet. Have you ever heard people say “You look so tired today, is everything okay recently?” or “ You look really happy today, did anything good happen?”
Our outer self and inner self are correlated and can affect each other closely, which is why taking care of our inner self is so crucial.
In this retreat, attendees will also be able to heal through the meals we prepare. By understanding the benefits of certain food and learning how to cook them properly, attendees can experience the meals to its fullest.
Through the three days, we are excited to see our attendees heal from inside and out.
What To Expect
Put down your phones together and communicate with the world attentively. Please do not disturb the environment, do not litter, do not maliciously attack others. Wear your most comfortable clothes and bring environmentally friendly tableware. Stay weird and stay unique.
Full schedule will be provided after booking is confirmed.
Mindfulness Meditation Instructor: Yoanna
In this retreat, Yoanna will lead us to find our inner peace through meditation. The key to finding inner peace is to understand who you are and be mindful about your emotions. In a world that is so fast paced, we all need to learn how to stay calm and move in our own pace.
Yoanna has experienced healing and growth through Breathing Techniques, Yoga, and Meditation Practices, and she hopes to bring that experience to our attendees too.
*This session will be held in Mandarin
Analyzing Physiques and Understanding Dietary Therapy: Kai
