Join Mindfulness and Healing Practitioners Joe Holcomb and Lauree Dash for a very special day of self-care, “Retreat and Renewal.” This day-long, experiential retreat will feature teachings including Mindfulness Anchor Meditation, Everyday Peacefinder Practices, Mindful Eating, Mindful Self Compassion, and a Meditation for Difficult Emotions. As a special bonus, you will experience practices that calm and strengthen your own emotional nervous system, prevent burnout, and increase resilience like Breathwork and a Yoga Nidra with Sacred Sound Healing.
