Mindfulness

​

Mindfulness describes the ability to be fully present in the moment –
with clarity, openness and without premature judgement.

 

In everyday life, often shaped by speed and constant distraction,
mindfulness helps to calm the mind
and bring attention back to what truly matters.

​

What mindfulness supports

​

Through mindful awareness, we develop a finer sensitivity
to thoughts, emotions and bodily signals.
Instead of reacting automatically,
space emerges for conscious and considered responses.

 

Evidence-based mindfulness practices – shaped, among others, by
Jon Kabat-Zinn –
show that regular mindfulness can help
reduce stress, support clarity
and foster a calmer way of meeting challenges.

 

Mindfulness does not mean withdrawing from life,
but participating in it with greater presence and awareness.

 

Mindfulness in the retreat

 

In the retreat, mindfulness is not taught theoretically,
but made tangible through direct experience –
at an individual pace and without performance pressure.

 

Elements of the practice include:

• yoga and mindful movement

• meditation and breathwork

• mindful eating

• time in nature and phases of stillness

 

These forms of mindfulness support the cultivation of attention,
the development of inner calm
and a renewed sense of one’s own rhythm.

 

Mindfulness in everyday life

​

A central intention of the retreat is to understand mindfulness
as a practice that is applicable in daily life.

​

The impulses and exercises offered are intentionally kept simple,
so they can be integrated into everyday routines
after the retreat –
supporting greater presence, balance and clarity in daily living.
