I highly recommend you put Jo on your bucket list !!”\n“What a wonderful experience at the Mana retreat. This was my second time attending Jo’s retreat with three friends\, and we could not fault her retreat.

It is just what the doctor ordered\, and we will most certainly be back.”\n“This retreat was just what I needed – it was the perfect length\, in the perfect location.

SUMMARY:5 Day Mindful Self-Compassion Intensive with Dr Anna Friis and Dr Robyn Charlton
DESCRIPTION:5-Day Mindful Self-Compassion Intensive\nWith Dr Anna Friis and Dr Robyn Charlton\nThis immersive five-day experience offers the complete Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) programme in a spacious\, restorative retreat setting.\nMindful Self-Compassion integrates the skills of mindfulness and compassion to support emotional resilience\, nervous-system regulation\, and a kinder relationship with ourselves. Developed by Dr Kristin Neff and Dr Christopher Germer\, MSC uses guided meditation\, experiential practices\, reflective exercises\, and gentle inquiry to help us meet difficulty with warmth rather than self-criticism. \nOver five days\, we step out of the busyness of everyday life and into a rhythm of practice\, rest\, and connection — learning how to become our own steady ally in\nmoments of stress\, uncertainty\, and change. Self-compassion is not self-indulgence or avoidance. It is a courageous inner stance that allows us to respond to struggle with clarity\, care\, and strength. \n\nWHAT THE RETREAT INCLUDES\n\n\n\nThe full Mindful Self-Compassion programme taught intensively over five days (fulfils the prerequisite for MSC Teacher Training)\nExclusive use of Mana Retreat Centre and grounds\nDelicious\, nourishing meals\nOptional yoga and Qigong classes\nCreative and reflective evening sessions\nTime for rest\, walking\, and integration\n\n\n\n\nTUITION\n$900 early bird (until 30 May 2027) \n$1000 thereafter \nAccommodation and meals additional. \n\nTESTIMONIALS\n“Working with you has changed the most important relationship in my life — the relationship with myself.” — Vanessa \n“You are both absolute gems.
