SUMMARY:Embrace Life: A silent Self-Compassion Meditation-Retreat
DESCRIPTION:With Steve Hickman and Regula Saner \n  \nWhat is a silent retreat?\nA silent retreat is an important moment in the life of a meditator that helps deepen personal meditation practice. \nWhat is special about this retreat?\nAs you probably know\, even if you have only been meditating for some time\, mindfulness – from moment to moment\, without judgment – can be achieved through several approaches: either through “formal” practice (silent sitting and walking meditation) or through informal practice (awareness for all the vigilant moments of our lives). This retreat will offer a balance between both! \nOur special attention will be focused on how we can strengthen our resilience and improve our ability to face challenges with serenity\, strength and compassion. \nProgram Details\nWe will spend every morning (and a few afternoons) in formal practice under the guidance of two very experienced teachers\, Steve and Regula. We will devote one afternoon to movement and time in nature and open ourselves to the breathtaking mountain landscape during a hike in the Bernese Oberland. (Three routes with different levels of difficulty are offered). \nIn the evening we will have time to reflect together on our experiences with formal and informal practice as well as on different ways to live a peaceful and joyful life\, complemented by lectures by Steve and Regula. \nIn this way we will spend time in silence and meditation while at the same time opening ourselves and enjoying the beauty of the surrounding nature – “this one wild and precious life”\, to quote the poet Mary Oliver. \nRegula and Steve will offer participants daily personal conversations to support and guide them in the traditional format of a silent meditation retreat. The basic principles of the MSC practice will be at the core. \nThe retreat is based on the revolutionary and well-researched work of Christopher Germer and Kristin Neff\, creators of the Mindful Self Compassion Program\, as well as ancient wisdom practices from various traditions. It offers the opportunity to enliven and deepen your practice of compassion and mindfulness meditation. \nThis retreat is open to anyone interested in mindfulness practice\, as well as those who already have previous meditation experience\, especially in programs such as MSC\, MBSR\, MBCT. \nWe would also like to point out that participating in this retreat fulfills one of the requirements to participate in one of the MSC teachers’ training courses. \n  \nMore Info \n
