It helps us to stretch time and access liminal space. It helps us see\, hear and feel life differently. Drawing inspiration and wisdom from the natural world\, Carly offer Yin yoga\, mindfulness and psycho-spiritual inquiry as a way to assist you in attuning to your external environment and your inner landscapes. Carly will help us explore the themes of surrender and expansion\, yin and yang\, descent and ascent and how to hold the paradox of being human with grace and courage. Coupled with writing\, self-inquiry work\, and luminous poetry\, Carly will help awaken your senses and encourage you to connect with a rhythm that is naturally yours. Her evening yin yoga classes will help you drift off into a deep\, restful sleep\, and will empower you with mindfulness tools that you can carry with you for your entire life. You can read more about Carly on her website: www.carlyforest.com/about \nKrassi’s invigorating vinyasa classes challenge the body while inviting a gentleness of mind and openness of heart.

She is also the author of Morning\, Zora\, a lovely children’s book\, as well as Yoga Cards for Children. \nJaclyn’s mindfulness meditation classes will help you become more aware of what is. With an invitation to practice non-judgmental awareness\, she will help you establish a more kind and caring relationship with yourself\, your inner landscape\, and with all that unfolds within you and around you.  Jaclyn will teach you mindfulness tools that you can take home with you and practice daily\, weaving these practices into your everyday life.

Learn to navigate challenges with increasing grace and ease. Take advantage of Jaclyn’s mindfulness and yoga exercises to calm your nervous system and clear your mind\, so you can clarify your purpose and motivations in work and life. Refuel your energy reserves and return home feeling recharged and ready to work towards creating the life you deeply desire. \nMajor companies such as Uber\, Accenture\, JP Morgan\, Google\, and Aetna are investing in mindfulness programs to help employees reduce stress\, maintain focus in their work\, and boost productivity. And it’s working. Researchers have found that daily mindfulness activities such as meditation can increase productivity by 47 to 62 minutes per week. \nWhat’s more\, mindfulness for employees is proving to be a smart investment\, saving companies thousands of dollars each year. After introducing a mindfulness program\, Aetna estimates the productivity gains alone amounted to $3\,000 per employee\, an 11-to-one return on its investment. According to David Gelles\, author of Mindful Work\, “Stress exerts a tax on an organization  – in terms of both productivity and health care costs. Reducing stress\, therefore\, is going to help the bottom line.” \n\n“People who are valued\, create value\,” says mindfulness expert and retreat co-facilitator Leah Weiss\, who has supported major corporations in integrating mindfulness programs into daily work life and witnessed the benefits first hand. \n\nCultivating mindfulness skills is an essential investment in your career and work life. Empower yourself with the mindful leadership skills you need to facilitate peak performance\, fuel your career goals\, and recharge for the exciting journey ahead. \nIn addition\, spend the week building strong connections among powerful and purpose-driven women. Nothing can replace the power of being supported by other like-minded women in achieving your career and life goals. \nGive yourself the critical time and space you need to uplevel your career now. \n\n“You can’t afford not to do this work!” – Leah Weiss\, co-facilitator and mindfulness expert \n\nIn addition to cultivating mindful leadership skills\, you will have plenty of time to rejuvenate your body with healthy foods\, daily mindfulness-based yoga practices\, optional excursions such as surfing lessons\, horseback riding\, SUP or ziplining\, and opportunities to find inspiration in nature. \nIf you have any questions or would like more details\, please don’t hesitate to contact Jaclyn at  Jaclyn@mindbodymoms.com. \nWe would love to support you in taking the right steps to boost your career and personal development. \nDo you have friends\, co-workers\, or a team you feel could also benefit from this retreat? \nReceive a deep discount for bringing them too!
