Mindfulness Retreats

NATURE REBOOT • PRACTICAL MINDFULNESS • MIND–BODY SCIENCE

MEDITATION • SELF-COMPASSION PRACTICE

 
The one day meditation retreat was just what my soul needed. It was a day of delving inside ourselves and exploring new concepts, and what came up from that personally was insightful, rewarding and at times surprising. Elisha is a very special human being, and her warmth, knowledge and approachability make her a fantastic teacher.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?

The benefits of Meditation and Mindfulness are measured and scientifically proven to regulate your body's homeostasis, that means, your body heals when you enter a state of calm. The more you practice staying in that state of calm the more your body self regulates, and the greater your level of awareness becomes to catch the minds tricks!

Elisha has put together the perfect combination for healing and inner awareness, at her retreat. The peace you feel as you drive into her home, the knowledge she shares and then the skills she teaches you over the day all make for a truly magical day. I’m so grateful that I went!
— Tasha Lee | 1-Day Mindfulness Retreat Aug 11
My experience and time with Elisha was soul nourishing. I seriously feel like this woman has magical powers to heal. When lying on her table it feels like you’re receiving pure love. I felt this on a spiritual, energetic, emotional and physical level. I also noticed my health improve on all these levels too. Elisha introduced me to new concepts and perspectives and resources that I had never thought of before. She is a delightful mix of earthly wisdom and playful fun. I tell everyone about her.
