THE RELAXED LIFE

RETREAT


UBUD, BALI
OCTOBER 29TH - NOVEMBER 3RD 2024

The relaxed life retreat

Join me for an unforgettable 5 days and nights in Bali.

Experience the whole system reset youโ€™ve been craving. Shed the layers of stress, heaviness & past experience that weigh you down. Feel light & at ease in your mind & body and connected to your innate creativity and joy. Gain the knowledge & tools to live a relaxed, energised & purposeful life.

After the retreat youโ€™ll feel an ease, lightness and humming of energy in your body that you canโ€™t remember experiencing since you were a child. Youโ€™ll move at a slow and steady pace, unfazed by the pace of the world around you. Youโ€™ll have turned inwards and reconnected with your own natural rhythm.

The retreat commences at 3pm on Tuesday, October 29th and concludes at 11am on Sunday, November 3rd.

The Relaxed Life Retreat is not just a relaxing 5-days.

This retreat will not just teach you how to relax and support your nervous system to lower stress. Having tools to lower stress is key - but even better is to reduce the amount of stress you experience in the first place.

On The Relaxed Life Retreat, weโ€™ll dive deep into the invisible forces (unprocessed emotion, subconscious programming, beliefs and habituated patterns) that add to your stress load and deplete your energy and vitality. 

This means, you wont just go home and slowly become as stressed and tired as you were before the retreat. Youโ€™ll go home with a practical, embodied understanding of how to live your life to the fullest, without compromising the health of your mind-body-nervous system.

Getting to the root of how and why you get stressed is a game changer. 

The nature of life is such that you will always experience stress - thereโ€™s no getting around it. But chronic stress - feeling a bit on edge, a bit tired, getting sick often, just getting through the day, feeling devoid of happiness and joy, never fully inhabiting the moment that youโ€™re in, over-thinking, chronic worry and anxiety - are optional.

If you go home and water the seeds of change that we plant during the retreat - your quality of life will dramatically improve. Youโ€™ll know yourself and your body more deeply (knowledge is power). Youโ€™ll understand how to stop the cycle of over-thinking and worry in its tracks, fast. Youโ€™ll be well-versed in how to spot a limiting belief and the practical steps to re-wire your beliefs and your nervous system to create new, more life-affirming habits. Youโ€™ll know how to quickly and easily soothe yourself when you notice a stress or over-thinking spiral. Youโ€™ll know yourself. 

Be lead on a journey through your body

On The Relaxed Life Retreat youโ€™ll feel into all that youโ€™ve held - physically, emotionally, energetically - creating the space and the safety to gently and lovingly allow yourself to let it go. 

With each passing day, youโ€™ll feel tension melt away from your body. 

Youโ€™ll notice niggles and aches dissipate. 

Youโ€™ll notice the volume fade on the background noise of your mind.

Youโ€™ll feel a lightness, a sense of play and relaxation that you donโ€™t remember feeling for a while. 

Youโ€™ll have fun, youโ€™ll laugh, youโ€™ll feel connected to yourself, youโ€™ll feel at ease. 

Youโ€™ll experience the profound freedom and relief in simply being where you are. Not having to lead, to hold, to organise, to care for, to wrangle or to achieve.

Youโ€™ll just be. 

Your retreat facilitator

Caroline is a teacher of Vedic Meditation and yoga, a mentor and retreat facilitator. She is trained to the highest standard in Vedic Meditation and Yoga, holds a Bachelors Degree in Psychology, Post Graduate Diploma in Psychotherapy,  is trained in youth phone counselling and Mental Health First Aid qualified. 

A lifetime of anxiety led Caroline to discover Vedic Meditation in 2017 shortly after moving to Sydney. After finally finding the relief from symptoms she had been desperately searching for, she went on to be trained to the highest standard of meditation teaching in India in 2020. After a long career in software consulting and change management, Caroline now teaches meditation, mentors and runs retreats full time and loves to work with people from all stages and walks of life.

The Still was born from Carolineโ€™s desire to support women, men and children to connect with the still, quiet, intuitive layer of the self that lies beyond our thoughts, stress and conditioning. Her belief is that the more deeply we know ourselves - mind, body, soul - the greater our capacity for a rich and fulfilling life. Caroline takes great pride in creating retreat experiences that not only provide the opportunity to relax, unwind stress, tension, unprocessed emotion and fatigue, but that equip participants with knowledge and practices that catalyze a vast improvement to how they think and feel far beyond the retreatโ€™s conclusion.

Caroline has a unique way of ensuring those in her experiences feel at ease, seen and free to show up exactly as they are. 

Lisa, previous retreat participant

โ€œThank you for changing my life for the better, Caroline. The gift you've given me through Vedic meditation and knowledge has had an incredibly profound impact on me in such a short time. Forever grateful.โ€

Alyssa, previous retreat participant

โ€œThis retreat honestly changed my whole life. From day 1, I was overcome with a sense of peace and comfort. I learnt so much about myself, my mind, body and soul and now have resources and tools to help me through lifeโ€™s daily challenges.โ€

Rosie, previous retreat participant

โ€œThe Still retreat with Caroline was a truly special experience. I left feeling a radical change, the first time I havenโ€™t felt myself in fight or flight for a very long time. Just knowing my body is capable of that is life changing.โ€
