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.

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
