Cultivating Equanimity and Gratitude with Vera Hey

Cultivating Equanimity and Gratitude in a Reactive World.

“Between the stimulus and the response there is space, and in that space is your power and freedom, that space is the hope of humanity!” Viktor Frankl

What is Equanimity? It is a non-reactive, mindful presence; it is inner balance and ease. It is our inner refuge. When we are able to come to equanimity, then all other qualities that we cherish like joy, love, intelligence, clarity, etc, arise naturally!

So, what keeps us on the spinning wheel of obsessive thinking and running through our day? There is no life there, no intimacy, no wonder!

Let’s explore together how to get off that wheel and step into the states of equanimity and gratitude, which, according to neuroscientists, are states that bring us the experience of contentment, inner peace and harmony.

This retreat will utilise techniques from the mindfulness toolbox, including relaxation, meditation, reflection, gentle yoga, and nature walks.
