Hollyhock - Island Getaway Health Retreat

print this page

Discover the inner strengths you possess for facing and meeting life’s challenges. Learn to pay full attention to the present and reduce your stress, whether it comes from illness, chronic pain, personal crisis, or simply the often-taxing reality of day-to-day living. Acquire tools for meeting life’s demands with peace and clarity. Explore sitting and walking meditation, yoga, body scanning and restorative periods of silence. Inspired by the work of Jon Kabat-Zinn, we focus on the cultivation of mindfulness: clear, non-judgmental attention to the present moment, with regard to the ongoing experience of body, feelings, emotions, and mind.
