About this Event
Description
All too often we can be hard on ourselves. Whether it's about work, family life, relationships or body image, how we talk to ourselves and how we treat ourselves has a significant impact on our mental health.
This retreat aims to help you explore formal and informal practices that can help you stress less and get more of what matters out of life.
