Overview
Spring-Awakening Day-Retreat is our follow-up Retreat to the “Begin 2024 with Wise Intentions & Mindful Goals, Day Retreat.”
In the Spring Awakening retreat, we facilitate meditation, reflection on our connection and dependency on nature, and develop insights into important matters. Spending a day to rejuvenate, relax, and reconnect with the Wise You.
At this Retreat, we spend the day in the following ways.
Learn the Four Facets of Loving Kindness Practice
We will engage in the spectrum of Loving Kindness, as explained by Diana Winston, the Director of Education at Mindful Awareness Research Center. She has teased out four different stages and flavors of Loving Kindness (Dry, Wet, Creative, and Raiant) that we find very helpful for people of all experiences. This will be a special treat of the retreat.
Self-Care
During the Retreat, we will do a series of meditations and Mindful practices designed to help clear your mind and heart from the challenges and the griefs of the year past. These gentle practices help you settle in your body, relax, rejuvenate, and create space to tend to what’s most important to you in life. We practice quietly throughout the day and during lunch. It is often loved by participants who have never even imagined themselves being quiet and at ease amongst others. It is comforting to not always have to have something to say. This particular retreat will be more engaged than usual. There will be written exercises, wisdom guidance, and time for Q&A.
Reflection On Your Life’s Worth
We will provide ample time to befriend yourself, and all that is in your life, to experience how it feels to just be. Elevating in gratitude, love, and kindness. Growing these qualities like seeds and saplings. Nourishing yourself will not only benefit you but also those you love, work and interact with.
Visioning
We all need a proper higher vision. One that can inspire us, and propel us to choose healthy directions and actions. A vision for a future that is bright, safe, welcoming, nourishing, and fair to all. A future where we are free of stress and anxiety and where our children are happy and carefree. Holding such higher visions in mind and heart, we will walk with ease feeling the generosity of Mother Earth in every step and cultivating a deeper connection to her love. We become even more open to ways we can honor her generosity and experience contentment in return.

Mindfulness Day-Retreat: Clear, Concise, Consistent Intentions for 2026
2026-01-18 09:00 - 17:00
Set Clear, Concise, and Consistent Intentions for 2026
A One-Day Mindfulness Retreat
This one-day mindfulness retreat is an invitation to step out of noise and busyness and into deliberate presence—so the year ahead is guided by intention rather than reaction.
Together, we will slow down, turn inward, and create intentions that are clear, concise, and consistent—intentions rooted in wisdom, not pressure.
Click to Register

Why This Retreat
Most intentions fail not because we lack discipline, but because they are formed from an unsettled mind.
When the mind is hurried, overwhelmed, or influenced by external expectations, intentions become fragmented. When the mind is calm, grounded, and discerning, intentions naturally align with what truly matters.
This retreat offers the conditions needed for that clarity to emerge.

What You Will Experience
Throughout the day, you will be guided through a carefully designed sequence of contemplative practices, reflections, and teachings that support deep inner alignment.
You will:

Settle the nervous system and quiet mental noise

Clarify what genuinely matters in this season of your life

Distinguish conditioned goals from wise intentions

Learn how consistency arises from inner coherence, not force

Leave with a grounded, integrated set of intentions for 2026

The retreat balances stillness, inquiry, and practical integration—so insights translate into everyday life.

The Nature of Clear, Concise, and Consistent Intentions
Clear intentions arise from seeing without distortion.Concise intentions are simple, focused, and sustainable.Consistent intentions are lived naturally because they align with inner values and skills.
Rather than striving to become someone new, this process helps you align more fully with who you already are—when the mind is steady and the heart is informed.

Who This Retreat Is For
This retreat is for you if you:

Want to begin 2026 with steadiness and purpose

Feel tired of setting goals that don’t last

Value depth, reflection, and inner intelligence

Are navigating transition, growth, or recalibration

Wish to live with greater intentionality and ease

No prior meditation experience is required. All practices are accessible and guided.

Retreat Format

Guided mindfulness and contemplative practices

Quiet reflection and intentional inquiry

Short teachings grounded in psychology, neuroscience, and wisdom traditions

Time for Q & A

Light meal with tea, coffee, and water. Please feel free to bring anything you’d like to eat and or share with others

A supportive, non-judgmental environment

This is not about self-improvement or productivity—it is about re-alignment.

What You Will Take With You
By the end of the day, you will leave with:

A calm and regulated inner state

A clear set of personal intentions for 2026

Greater trust in your own discernment

Practical insight into sustaining alignment throughout the year

A felt sense of direction—without pressure

An Invitation
Before the year turns, give yourself the rare gift of stillness, clarity, and conscious choice.
When intentions are set from a settled mind, the path forward becomes simpler—and more humane.
We invite you to begin 2026 from that place.

A Mindfulness Day of Mental Detox and Self-Compassion

A Mindfulness Day of Mental Detox and Self-Compassion
It’s not easy to be human.
This one-day mindfulness retreat is an invitation to step out of noise and busyness and into deliberate presence—so the year ahead is guided by intention rather than reaction.
Together, we will slow down, turn inward, and create intentions that are clear, concise, and consistent—intentions rooted in wisdom, not pressure.
Click to Register

Why a Mental Detox?
Just as the body benefits from rest and cleansing, the mind also accumulates residue:

Overthinking
Comparison
Digital overload
Self-judgment
Unfinished mental loops
Cultural pressure and fabricated urgency

When left unexamined, this accumulation quietly shapes our choices and emotional tone.
Clearing the noise is not about becoming someone new.It is about removing what does not belong—so your natural steadiness can re-emerge.

What This Day Offers
This retreat is spacious, gentle, and intentionally paced.
Throughout the day, you will be guided through:

Mindfulness practices that calm and regulate the nervous system
Reflective inquiry to identify internal and external noise
Gentle processes for releasing accumulated mental tension
Teachings on reactivity, attention, and clarity
Self-compassion practices that soften harsh inner dialogue
Quiet integration time

Whether you struggle with distraction, overwhelm, emotional reactivity, or simply the pace of modern life, this day provides conditions for reset.

Who This Retreat Is For
This retreat is for you if:

You feel mentally overloaded or overstimulated
You are navigating ADHD or attention challenges
You are committed to developing your mind with care
You carry self-criticism that feels exhausting
You want clarity without force
You are simply ready to slow down

No prior meditation experience is required. All practices are accessible and guided.

The Experience
MorningWe begin by settling down, relaxing the body and mind, and gently observing and calming mental noises.
Sitting, walking, and quiet time, and observing the beauty and pleasant experience
MiddayThrough guided reflection and mindful inquiry, we explore what we are carrying unnecessarily—beliefs, pressures, narratives—and begin loosening their grip. Encouraging the heart to open with self-compassion and kindness
Mindful lunch includes vegetarian soup, salad, cheeses, cut fruits, nuts, breads and participants are welcome to bring their own favorite items to add to the table.
AfternoonWe continue with detoxing the mind and strengthening self-compassion, allowing clarity and steadiness to re-emerge naturally.
Mindful sitting, walking, mild stretches
The day closes with community appreciation and grounded intention—not striving, but alignment.

What You Will Leave With
By the end of the retreat, participants commonly experience:

Greater mental spaciousness
Reduced internal pressure
Clearer attention
A softer relationship with oneself
Renewed steadiness moving forward

Are You Carrying Resentment That You Cannot Seem to Release?
Sometimes the pain is long past—but the resentment remains.
A betrayal.A deep disappointment.Words that still echo in your mind.A wound that altered how you trust, love, or see yourself.
You may know that holding onto resentment hurts you more than anyone else…and yet still find it incredibly difficult to let go.
That is because forgiveness is not simply a decision.It is a process of understanding, healing, and skillful inner work.
This forgiveness practice day is designed to help you release the emotional burden of past hurts,
understand the roots of resentment, and cultivate the mindfulness and compassion needed to move forward with greater freedom.

In This Forgiveness Practice Day, You Will Learn How To:

Understand why resentment becomes deeply embedded in the mind and body
Identify the hidden costs of unresolved anger, bitterness, and emotional pain
Distinguish forgiveness from excusing harmful behavior
Process hurt, grief, betrayal, and disappointment with greater wisdom
Practice forgiveness meditation and guided mindfulness exercises
Develop healthier internal narratives around pain and healing
Begin releasing emotional burdens that no longer serve your well-being

This Forgiveness and Letting Go Retreat Is For You If You:

Replay painful experiences in your mind
Feel anger or bitterness toward someone from your past or current life
Struggle to let go despite wanting peace
Carry resentment that affects your relationships or well-being
Need support in a compassionate environment
Want practical mindfulness tools for letting go and moving forward

Why This Work Matters
Unresolved resentment does not remain in to the past.
It can shape how we:

Relate to loved ones
Experience trust and intimacy
View ourselves and others
Manage stress and mental health
Show up in the world

Learning how to forgive wisely—not blindly—is one of the most liberating skills a human being can develop.

Before Life Gets Busy Again…
Summer has a way of slowing us down. More travel, spending time with loved ones, and momentarily stepping away from the routines that often consume us.
Then September arrives.
The calendar fills. Responsibilities return. Before you know it, you’re reacting to life instead of living it intentionally.
This retreat is your opportunity to pause before that fast pace begins again.
Over the course of a day and a half, you’ll be invited to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and reflect on the life you truly want to live—not someday, but now.
While Saturday practices are geared towards adults with ADHD, all are welcomed. We can all learn more detailed ways of learning how to be mindful and conscious in our lives.
Together we’ll explore practical skills from the Mindful Life Optimization™ (MLO) methodology to help you return to everyday life with greater clarity, resilience, and well-being.

What You’ll Experience
This MLO Living Well retreat is designed to help you reconnect with what matters most.
Together we’ll explore topics such as:

Creating the conditions for well-being
Strengthening living consciously
Developing habits that support a meaningful life
Hightening attention and awareness in daily living
Working skillfully with stress, expectations, and change
Resting in your values and priorities
Applying MLO principles to everyday decisions
Returning home with practical tools you can immediately use

No prior experience is necessary.
Whether this is your first retreat or your tenth, you’ll find meaningful opportunities for reflection, learning, and renewal.

The MLO Retreat Halmark
MLO retreats don’t just focus on relaxation or inspiration, MLO Retreats combine relaxation and inspiration with practical and developmental lessons that strengthen inner capacity to live well in all aspects of life.
You’ll learn why we become overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck—and more importantly, the skills that help you create the conditions for greater happiness, healthier relationships, and wiser decisions.
Our goal isn’t simply to help you feel better for a weekend.
It’s to help you live better long after the retreat ends.

What Is Included
✔ Thought-provoking topics
✔ Guided mindfulness practices
✔ Gentle movement
✔ Time for personal reflection and journaling
✔ Small group conversations
✔ Gong and sound relaxation
✔ Delicious vegetarian meals and refreshments
