Mindfulness

This practice improves well-being. Being mindful makes it easier to savor the pleasures in life as they occur, helps you become fully engaged in activities, and creates a greater capacity to deal with adverse events.

When you focus on the here and now, you are less likely to get caught up in worries about the future or regrets over the past and are less preoccupied with concerns about your self-esteem or success. Mindfulness also helps to form deep connections with others.

There are many forms of practicing mindfulness, but the goal of any mindfulness technique is to achieve a state of alert, focused relaxation by deliberately paying attention to thoughts and sensations without judgment.

Well-being

The term ‘well-being’ describes how well you feel about yourself and life in general. Wellness is not just an emotion or feeling, nor does it indicate the absence of disease. It is an overall feeling of being physically, emotionally, and mentally well.

Duanne Cahn's diverse team of holistic well-being specialists will work hand in hand with you, providing group activities and individualized one-to-one session and therapies to help you delve more deeply into your inner self in a safe space where there are no judgments, and where you will feel supported, empowered, and celebrated.

During your stay with them, they will help you to use simple techniques and strategies that can assist you to continue with your journey when you return home.
