Universe Mindfulness

♦ Mindfulness in Nature As part of the mindful escape we propose to you, which is the type of holiday that you won’t need another holiday to recover from, we will provide you with long lasting tools to manage stress caused by daily life. Our unique Shinrin-Yoku (Forest Therapy) techniques provided by our highly experienced and certified instructors, will equip you with long lasting tools to minimize the negative effect of stressful situations. With our Mindfulness practice tools and guided meditations, learn to rely upon your own inner resources for managing stress, growing more resilient and performing effective self-compassionate healing. Mindfulness practice will eventually become second nature and will help you maximize your everyday life, even when facing major stressful situations. We also offer shorter Forest Therapy sessions, (day and weekend long). ♦ Vacation component Fun in nature among kindred spirits Our venues are selected specifically by their nature as vacation spots, without the crowds and the aspects that make holidays more stressful than staying home. Exotic and intriguing places where our participants can explore nature, culture and history, enjoy the scenery through Europe and Japan. We offer a family style, small group retreat experience with daily walks in breathtaking locations, half day and whole day excursions to nearby places of great significance, either by their stunning natural characteristics or by their history. Because these locations are so stunning, and because most of you will be coming from far, we encourage to add some time on your own, just to please the “tourist” in you. This time, is mostly recommended to be taken right after our retreat, for example, visit Rome or Florence after our Tuscany retreat. Not only for the obvious reasons that so many million visitors come to these locations, but in a way to “test drive” your new self in a more stressful holiday environment before returning to your reality back home.
