I am excited to announce a new date for the Day Long Mindfulness Retreat coming this fall! Thank you for your patience as I have been getting quite a few inquiries after being on a pause while focusing on my growing private practice ❤️ looking forward to meeting again in community at the lovely Station 33:Cafe & Yoga 🧘‍♀️. Spots will be limited so please email me if interested in signing up (info@nicoleleblanc.org)

Throughout the retreat I will be guiding a variety of practices, including: sitting and lying down meditation, mindful walking, mindful movement, and mindful eating structured throughout the day.

You will be invited to bring awareness to their moment to moment experience with an attitude of non judgment, curiosity, kindness and acceptance as they engage in these guided teachings. Deepening our capacity to meet our experience in this way has a ripple effect in our daily lives. It supports us to live more fully in the present with greater wisdom and compassion, while reducing distraction and habitual reactivity that moves us away from living in alignment with our deeper values.

A vow of silence will be offered for the duration of the retreat to allow deepening of insight into their inner and outer experience as they engage in the teachings provided. I however will not be in silence, as I will be the one offering the guidance and teachings throughout the day.

What will be provided: yoga mats, meditation cushions and supports, back jacks.

I encourage you to wear comfy clothes, bring a water bottle, and bring your own blankets for extra comfort if you desire. I highly recommend purchasing lunch and/or a hot beverage and treat from the lovely Cafe down stairs from the meditation room during our breaks.

No prior meditation experience is required to attend this retreat.

Who would this retreat not be appropriate for ?

*Individuals with are under 18 years old
*currently experiencing a severe depression
*experiencing psychosis

Receipts will be provided for extended insurance purposes.

with kindness,

Over the years I have recommended this workshop to several parents who were struggling with how to effectively and skillfully attend and attune to their children's emotional needs (including supporting their children as youths and adults). Parents who have attended have come back reporting a significant improvement and confidence in better understanding their children's emotions and how to more skillfully respond to their needs. As a result they have identified an improvement in their relationship with their child, and growth in their children's overall wellbeing as well as their own. This workshop is offered virtually and would be available to resident's of Ontario and New Brunswick! if you are interested in registering please contact Heidi (admin@anchorpsychology.ca)

Hi highly recommend this workshop for therapists who wish to gain valuable Emotion-Focused Family Therapy (EFFT) tools to work with clients! I found this very beneficial myself ! The information was made easily accessible by the facilitators through the offering of several experiential exercises to practice EFFT skills developed, and offers opportunity to work with any emotional blocks held by the clinician in order to better support the therapeutic process. This is available to both Ontario and New Brunswick therapists as it is offered through a virtual video platform. Please contact Heidi if interested in registering (admin@anchorpsychology.ca)

Dropping into stillness for the next half hour before welcoming the amazing group of MBSR participants to their mid-course full day retreat ! It is so beautiful to see how this group has been deepening their own insight into their inner and outer experiences, cultivating greater equanimity towards their own struggles, and becoming more present with the simple joys that life can bring. ❤️
