When was the last time you were truly present? No distractions. It sounds impossible to tune out the world around us – but through the powerful tool of meditation, it’s possible to find peace.
Meditation is simply being in the present moment. It allows you to connect with your inner being, meet your higher sense of self, and recognize every breath. It’s also an opportunity to practice compassion towards yourself, help with the process of acceptance, and cultivate presence.
Renée was first introduced to meditation as a tool to stay grounded and present by her very first life coach. She describes it as ” a way for me to connect with my inner self and set my intentions for the day. To me, meditation is the foundation of each new day. It isn’t about becoming a newer or better person, it’s about coming back to ME. In addition, meditation helps to train awareness and guide many aspects of your life”.

What you get: In this Mindful Self-Compassion Retreat called “Coming Home to Self-Compassion”, you are invited to come home to self-kindness, to meet the friend within. This is an invitation to befriend yourself, to relax, to recharge, to find balance. All through the retreat, you will be guided easily and naturally to be present, in a warm friendship with yourself.
This is an opportunity for beginners as well as others who have already started mindfulness, to deepen and to refresh their practice to ease their struggles, to find peace, to access inner joy and wisdom.
Presented by Marie Bloomfield, clinical psychologist and John Julian, social worker, both Senior Certified Mindful Self-Compassion Teachers.
Numerous studies over the last 30 years have shown the benefits of mindfulness, self-compassion and meditation. Typically, individuals who take on meditation and informal practices of mindfulness and self-compassion are more emotionally stable and have better control of their mood and behaviours.
They are more able to handle stress throughout the day and to relax before bedtimes. Because they are more present, they can make the most of their lives as it is; bounce from the difficulties and enjoy the good moments. Mindful self-compassion meditation practices increase the capacity for happiness in us all.
Throughout the retreat, you will be guided in mindfulness and self-compassion meditations to pay attention to the here and now, with curiosity and kindness. We will offer you opportunities to take time to savour, to appreciate, to bring warm-heartedness to yourselves, to meet whatever arises with loving-kindness and compassion.
During the retreat, we will encourage you to come home to your body, heart and mind; allowing and letting yourself be as you are, like a good friend. This attitude of openness, kindness and acceptance to whatever is, enables us to live with greater calm, clarity, strength and courage.
This Silent Mindfulness Meditation Retreat will consist of guided meditations, alternating with mindful movements, mindful walking, mindful eating, with periods of rest in between.
A wide variety of mindfulness and self-compassion meditations will be presented such as affectionate breathing, loving-kindness, compassionate body scan, sense and savour mindful walking, mindful eating, giving and receiving compassion, and compassionate movement meditation.
The teachers will provide ongoing simple and easy mindfulness instructions for various practices while the participants are expected to maintain a friendly silence for the duration of the retreat.
This mindfulness meditation retreat will be imbued with loving-kindness and self-compassion, focusing on our natural ability to become still, to be present, to notice, to be curious, to savour, to appreciate and to cultivate a warm friendship with ourselves. At the end of this silent mindfulness meditation retreat, there will be a short talk and sharing of experiences.
