THE POWER OF CLARITY RETREAT

"When seen as a cultivated practice, our felt purpose and related resistances are best understood through self-reflection, mind/body connection, and inspiring company and nature."

“Wherever you go, there you are.”

— Jon Kabat-Zinn

DESCRIPTION

The Power of Clarity Retreat is an invitation for developing stillness in the eye of the storm.

The Coronavirus pandemic has created a prolonged envelope of uncertainty for people around the world. 

As leaders and professionals, we all wish to live rich, aligned, happy and meaningful lives, focused on what is important to us and our respective communities. Yet, the COVID-19 pandemic has created a prolonged envelope of uncertainty, where work and personal lives got all tangled up and endured significant changes, during which a visceral need for connection with ourselves and others has gone unmet.

Living through this new normal for a few months has brought us to notice, through our clients, family and community, a noticeable collective strain to return to some form of chosen normalcy. Those ongoing changes allow us to question old ways of doing, and more importantly, of being.

On November 12th, Carl Lemieux and Bhaskar will be delighted to offer these blending complementary ways of developing mental clarity and well-being in this climate of ambiguity.

The well-researched Acceptance Commitment Training (ACT) framework will guide our learning journey, while weaving in the ancient wisdom of Eastern philosophies and principles of embodied leadership.

This retreat is an invitation to put away all distractions, so we may best explore and experience the clarity that lies within us.
