Exploring Mindfulness through workshops and experiences
After waking up in this gorgeous location, the day will start with a “mindful moment” – a short, practical, enjoyable exercise, through which you will learn a new tool, and get ready to fully experience the day.
You will venture out to find a nourishing and yummy breakfast.
If it will be a sunny day, we might have breakfast outside.
If you will feel like socializing, there will be 11 other amazing people there to share this awesome moment – but if you prefer to have a bit of silence, you will be able to find a quiet cozy corner in the spacious villa.
For the next 2 – 3h, we will dive into the workshop of the day. Workshops will be conducted inside and outside depending on the weather conditions.
You will learn insightful and interesting tools that help you build more mindfulness, discuss ideas and perspectives about experiencing mindfulness with others, and engage in a bit of reflection on how could you apply these tools already today – and especially in your life after this getaway.
After the workshop, we will enjoy lunch together on the terrace of the villa.
Your zen time will start – you might choose to go for a walk, a swim in the pool, grab a book, or have an interesting conversation.
If your introvert is afraid of getting stuck in too many conversations, don’t worry – we will also build a bit of respectfully protected space for solitude and reflection. At the same time, it might be challenging to resist all the interesting exchanges!
In the late afternoon, activities will be very diverse – sometimes we will engage in a more active way (be it sporty or brainy activity) and then discuss those activities a bit and explore how they worked for us in terms of mindfulness.
Often we will venture out to discover a new beautiful village in magnificent Istria, or to do wine and olive oil tasting, or a truffle chase.
On other days, we will be in more of a workshop or discussion-based mode, sharing insights, and tools, discussing good books, or taking a moment to reflect.
Or you might catch up with your “reflection buddy” and think about your learnings from this insightful and active day.
On one of the days we will do a seaside trip, so you would also have a chance to unwind and enjoy this beautiful environment.
Dinner time! Join us for local and nourishing food, in a group setting.
Evenings will be fairly quiet to give you some time to reflect on the eventful day and come to rest.
You will be able to enjoy an incredibly starry night, have a light walk, jump onto a board game, have an interesting conversation – or propose an activity that you would like us to explore together.
Each day will have an theme – such as mindful body, mindful eating, mindful conversations, or enjoying life more – which the workshop, activities, and exact schedule will be follow.
The plan plan for the week will be highly customized according to your needs and preferences – so you are also invited to co-create and shape this experience with your ideas, feedback, insights, and proposals.
