Category: Inspire & Connect

*Inspire & Connect provide retreats that help us pursue inner happiness, peace, freedom, and personal growth through wellness group activities. Here in a safe space, together we discuss ideas without judgment, and share stories we've never told a soul.

*Please note that this is an adult-exclusive retreat available to 16-year-old and over.


 

"You look tired today. Have you been under a lot of stress recently?"

"You look great today! Is there anything you want to share with us?”

Many times, our appearance reflects our mind, thoughts, diet, and lifestyle. In the exploration of the mind and body, how can we understand ourselves from the inside out and make positive changes from within?

During the two-day experience, try to explore everything with a non-judgmental and curious heart. Through the guidance of Reiki healing, you will learn to balance and cleanse your own energy and chakras, bringing your thoughts back to the present.

After calibrating your emotions, focus on understanding intuitive eating, reestablishing a healthy relationship between food and body, and letting go of labels imposed by our society. Then, engage in culinary lessons that allow you to experience the healing power of "eating" and savoring the peace that food brings.

At the end of the journey, enjoy yourself in the forest with your companions, close your eyes amidst the autumn trees, and feel the healing brought by nature and Reiki.

Through this journey, we hope to cultivate a strong, evergreen, and cheerful heart.

 

 

What To Expect

Wear your most comfortable clothes and bring environmentally friendly tableware.

Put down your phones and communicate with the world attentively. 

Stay weird and stay unique. 

 
 
 

Intuitive Eating: Cindy

In this retreat, Cindy will lead us on intuitive eating and teaching us how to distinguish the real definition of health from society's standards. You will learn to accept your body in different stages of life while finding a balance.

“Here to remind you of the possibility of a healthy diet.”

Cindy, who is a Mindful Nutritionist, has spent 12 years in New York where she has attended over hundreds of seminars related to health.

Although she is very knowledgeable in her field, she has suffered from an eating disorder for seven years due to her surroundings.

Having experienced an eating disorder prompted her to pursue the field of mindful diet. Cindy believes that every food can support us in different ways, and people shouldn’t restrict themselves in the idea of fasting and being slim.
