Cultivating inner peace through self-acceptance and self-forgiveness with Vera Hey.
“The path is not to seek for love but merely to seek and find all the barriers within ourselves that we have built against it”. Rumi
Many of us built an inner prison of beliefs about our deficient self. The biggest threat to our happiness and well-being is when we turn on ourselves with blame, based on a chronic sense of not being enough or not being good enough. Our inner critic can be so harsh and unforgiving!
It takes a conscious commitment to befriend ourselves and cultivate self-forgiveness! Self-forgiveness is about becoming your own best friend. It is about building a connection with yourself that is more real and true than any personality traits we may have.
During this retreat, we’ll explore how to cultivate self-acceptance and self-forgiveness. We’ll also consider goals one may choose for this year to build a relationship with oneself.
We will utilise techniques from the mindfulness toolbox, including guided relaxations, meditation, reflections, gentle yoga, and nature walks.
