Reconnect: One-Day Retreat. How to Stay Connected and Balanced in Your Everyday Life
/EVENT UPDATE:
Due to personal circumstances, we have decided to reschedule this event till the new year, in the first quarter of 2020. We apologise for any inconvenience caused, but we definitely would love to have you there with us in the new year. If you’d like to be kept informed of our new event date, pre-register here.
I’m super pleased and excited to announce that after much dreaming, planning and building… I’ve created an event together with a life coach friend of mine, that’s going to knock your socks off!
Through all my years of teaching yoga and seeing nutrition clients, I’ve realised that while most people might have bits and pieces of knowledge of what they “should” or “shouldn’t” be doing (I don’t like the word “should” as there’s an inherent judgment within it, but that’s another post for another time), most people don’t really have a framework to tie it all together… or at least see how all the little pieces start to fit together in the bigger picture.
That’s why Eleni Meraki and I decided to hold a one-day retreat together, to help you stay connected and balanced in your everyday life.
You can pre-register here to be kept informed when we launch this event.
What does it mean to reconnect?
Are you stressed or challenged from the high demands of your daily life?
Are you experiencing worry and overthinking on a frequent basis?
Are you challenged to keep yourself centered over a longer period of time?
Do you experience guilt or are you fearing missing out on things when you choose to prioritize your own needs?
Are you facing difficulties making time for yourself and getting in tune with who you really are and what you really want?
We all crave balance in our busy lives, yet it seems so hard to accomplish this. The aim of our one-day retreat is to create a place where you can reconnect, reset and re-evaluate all areas of your life and learn how to bring balance and harmony back to your outside as well as inside worlds.
Using a workshop format, we’ll be working on all levels of your being: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual.
Create your personal path using our frameworks
As there is no one-size-fits-all approach to a balanced life, we offer you a variety of tools, exercises, techniques, a science-based theoretical background, and the space and time to truly understand yourself better and reconnect with yourself on the deepest levels.
You’ll get the chance to explore and experience what works best for you, enabling you to walk away from this day with a bucket full of tools to balance yourself and your life effortlessly.
More harmony, and less being “all over the place”.
More courage to do your own thing, and less walking amongst the crowd.
More strength to stand for what’s right for you, less guilt for doing what you want most.
YOU'LL LEARN:
How to listen and connect to your body, mind, heart and soul’s needs, so you stay balanced when you’re busy.
What and when to eat and drink to support a demanding and busy life.
What kinds of exercise activities to do when, and what to avoid when.
How to recognise your needs and your positive-negative thought patterns and how to turn them around.
How to become aware of, manage your feelings and emotions, and how to gain back ownership and control to change them in any given situation.
How to connect with your inner self without it being “religious” or woo-woo “spiritual”. And why it is of utter importance to stay balanced long-term.
AND….
A variety of super practical lifestyle tools, nutrition and fitness tips, mindset techniques and exercises you can start using straight away.
Experience a deep connection, inspiration and motivation to create a life that feels balanced and more true to yourself.
YOUR TEACHERS
There’s no fluff here - we’re two women, Eleni Meraki and Jaime Tan who have worked in (and still working in) fast-paced corporate environments, while also training and teaching health, wellness and personal development.
Eleni is a hypnotherapist and women’s coach, founder of storytelling platform Guts & Tales and the women’s transformational program Be Your Own Muse. She exchanged her fast-paced corporate career and life in Amsterdam to live a life more true to herself, doing what she loves, in Greece.
Jaime is the founder of Enlightened Spoon - a naturopathic nutritionist, yoga teacher and reiki master; whilst also being a full-time Executive Producer in the advertising industry. She uses all her training in holistic health to keep her sanity in ad-land, and now also teaches others how to find balance on their own terms.
We combine our experience and expertise to offer you a well-rounded view and holistic perspective on health and wellbeing. And… a practical framework you can easily incorporate into your demanding lifestyle. Just like we do in ours!
