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\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\nTUITION\n$850 early bird (until 31 May 2026)\n$950 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. This is the most mind-blowingly wonderful\, life- changing investment I have ever been lucky enough to participate in.” — Margot \n\nTHE TEACHING TEAM \nAnna Friis PhD \nAnna is a health psychologist in private practice in Auckland\, with a deep commitment to mindfulness- and compassion-based approaches to wellbeing.

She is a senior teacher\, teacher trainer and mentor on the CMSC’s global training team. She is also a facilitator and teacher of the Self-Compassion in Psychotherapy (SCiP) training programme\, an initiative that trains mental health professionals from around the world in how to integrate the science and practise of self-compassion into their clinical work. Anna holds a PhD in Health Psychology from the University of Auckland\, where her research contributed new scientific knowledge on the mental and physical health effects of self-compassion among people living with diabetes. Her work has been published in leading international journals. She is a devoted yogini with three adult children\, and two utterly adorable small grandchildren. \nDr Robyn Charlton \nDr Robyn Charlton is a psychiatrist with nearly 20 years’ experience\, specialising in burnout\, ADHD\, trauma\, and perinatal mental health. Her work integrates lifestyle medicine\, mindfulness\, self-compassion\, and somatic approaches to support deep\, sustainable wellbeing. \nRobyn’s work spans three interconnected spaces: \n\nMindFitness Clinic — individual therapy and assessment for ADHD\, trauma\, and perinatal mental health\, drawing on EMDR\, MI-CBT\, Havening\, and compassion-based approaches\nMindFitness for Professionals — coaching\, retreats\, and burnout recovery for health and helping professionals\, grounded in nervous-system care and self-compassion\nMindFitness Education — training and CPD for clinicians in ADHD\, perinatal mental health\, and trauma-informed\, compassion-based care\n\nShe is the creator of the SOAR Self-Care Battery™\, a practical framework informed by polyvagal theory\, lifestyle medicine\, and positive neuroplasticity.\nThis model helps people recognise what drains their inner resources and choose intentional practices for restoration and resilience.\nRobyn is a certified Mindful Self-Compassion teacher\, has completed the Self-Compassion in Psychotherapy (SCIP) programme\, and is currently co-\ndeveloping Self-Compassion for ADHD with Dr Christopher Germer.

SUMMARY:Open Floor Community Dance
DESCRIPTION:Join a fabulous Open Floor Dance community\, sharing the joy of embodied movement most Tuesdays at Mana.  \nWhen: \nMost Tuesday Mornings at Mana. \nTime: 10:00–11:45AM / COST: $25-$20 Sliding Scale \nFeel free to arrive from 9:45am. T he music will be on if you’d like a longer warmup\, or if you’re new come early so we can welcome you. \nWhat is Open Floor Conscious Dance? \nOpen Floor is a lively dance and movement practice that energises the body and opens the mind. \nThere are no moves to learn. We simply show up and move with whatever is present: our creative minds\, our tender hearts\, our joys and excitements\, our aches and pains. And in the process we discover our own unique dance. \nClasses include guided inquiry as well as time to follow your own dance. The teachers select diverse music to inspire creative expression\, wild abandon and quiet awareness. Sometimes we experience insights and healing\, and sometimes we simply have a great dance. \nThe open dance floor becomes a playground for exploring the relational nature of being human: our ever-changing needs for solitude\, connection and a sense of community. We learn life skills that serve us on and off the dance floor\, helping us to develop a flexibility and resilience that enables us to respond creatively to life. \nNo experience is required. \nThe invitation is to come just as you are. \nFOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT OPEN FLOOR DANCE LOCATIONS CONTACT PIPPA OR LISA \nPippa: 02102963632 or visit Prana Dance \nInstagram: @pranadance_nz / www.facebook\,com/pranadance \nLisa: 0211754741 or visit www.wildbonesopenfloor.co.nz \nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/wildbonesopenfloor \nEmail: wildbonesopenfloor@gmail.com
