Silence is not emptiness—it is a doorway. This past weekend retreat we honored silence not as absence, but as presence. A presence that allowed us to hear what is often drowned out: our breath, our body, our truth.
We explored the part of us we have been ignoring, and we got in touch with our True Authentic Self. We nurtured our Inner Child and reconnected with our meaningful values.
We walked the Labyrinth releasing all what we do not need and receiving divine inspiration for our health and well-being.

Our "Authentic Self" Retreat, calibrating your Inner Compass, was a great success. We gathered in a safe environment, with confidentiality and inner peace being the essential agreements.
We tackled gently our Self-Betrayal emotional patterns. Just to name a few, some of them being:
a. Compromising your core values or failing to set boundaries to avoid confrontation or keep the peace.
b. People’s pleasing, saying yes or agreeing to things you do not want to.
c. Ignoring intuition (gut feelings). Dismissing warning signs (red flags), and your own internal voice.
d. Emotional suppression, staying silent when you are insulted, hurt, or need to speak up.
Once we gained awareness, we took quality time, to release those patterns and then made vows to honor ourselves, and reclaiming the silenced voice within us. A vow to create a sacred commitment to "Honor my Authentic Self, my Truth", moving forward.

Happy Valentine's Day. This day is about keeping your heart open. The open heart is the fourth pillar of Mindfulness. It has four qualities called the 4 immeasurables:

Equanimity

Empathetic joy

Loving kindness

Compassion

Pay special attention to Self-Compassion which is the best gift you can give yourself every day.

Join us for the "Still Point", a silent retreat to deepen your connection with your Inner Self. For more info go to:

Imitation is natural to man from childhood, one of the advantages over the lower animals being this, that he is the most imitative creature in the world.
-- Aristotle

Someone is copying your life.
Make it a good one

Violence is mimetic, but so is peace.
-- Elizabeth Oldfield

That s how Dr Rob Merritt, Professor Emeritus of creative writing at Bluefield University, started his session during our Wednesday noon Mindful Meditation.
Dr Merritt talked to us about Poetry and Healing and shared with us some of his poems. At the end he asked us to answer these three questions.
Write:
1. Whom did you imitate? (in what periods of your life?)
2. Whom should you not have imitated?
3. Who imitates you? (in what periods of your life?)

Enjoy the exercise and join us next Wednesday for a follow up discussion with Dr Merritt and to share your wisdom.

As the year unfolds, many of us feel the pull toward quiet—toward a moment where we can breathe, soften, and return to ourselves. Join us on April 4-6, 2026, for a silent retreat.
Spring invites us to slow down, listen inward, and reconnect with what truly matters.”
“The Still Point" Silent Retreat is a gentle, guided space to step out of the noise and into deep presence. Over two days, you’ll be held in silence, reflection, mindful practices, and restorative stillness—so you can reset your nervous system, release accumulated tension, and return home to yourself.”
