When: 25th - 26th October 2008

Are you always going at full speed, never able to stop and sit still?

Try decluttering your mind and your life.

To achieve clarity of mind and thought, you need to be objective with yourself. To do this effectively, start by removing yourself from your everyday situation. To achieve stillness of the mind, you must teach yourself to stop, reflect and relax - it's not an automatic action, but rather a learned experience.

Inner Cor's stillness of the mind retreats are thoughtfully designed to provide you with the tools to declutter your life, learn how to be objective of self and achieve clarity of mind. The retreats have proven to be quite challenging and energising for individuals- it's an opportunity to step outside your everyday situation.

Cost: $290.00 twin share ($340.00 single)

Non refundable deposit: $100.00 by August 5th 2008 as places are strictly limited.
Full payment by September 25th 2008.

Costs include two day retreat, activities, accommodation and meals. Inner Cor can tailor a retreat for your organisation.

What to expect on a Stillness of the Mind Retreat:

Stillness of the Mind Weekend 9th & 10th April 2005:

"When you tell people you are going for a weekend of stillness and silence, most people look at you as if you have lost your mind! Why is the stillness and silence something to look forward to? In the context of my life...

Monday: Alarm, feed meowing and very demanding cat, shower, breakfast, feed demanding cat again, dress, rush to station, train, work - phone calls, everything due yesterday, rush to court, need to be in two places at once, rush from court to court, demands of Magistrates, police, defence lawyers, back to office, more paper work, briefs to read, rush back to station, train home, what will we have for tea, cook something, iron suit, if time walk the dog, find some time to speak to husband, fall into bed...

Tuesday to Friday: alarm, feed cat, off we go again, every day the same, same pace, rush, rush, rush... (only difference at least Wednesday look forward to Yoga)....

Weekend: need to catch up on sleep missed out on all week, need to pay more attention to the deprived dog (and husband), need to do the weekly chores - supermarket, washing, find some time to see friends and family....

BUT: Stillness of the Mind Weekend, Ozone Hotel Queenscliffe. Saturday - stillness, silence, meditation, no cares, no demands, just pure relaxation, blank mind, no worries and most importantly no responsibilities where all I had to concentrate on was me and my wellness, plus to add to the experience - fabulous meals in a beautiful environment. Sunday - more stillness, more relaxation, no phones, no rushing, more great food, one and a half days of total bliss.

So a weekend of chores, supermarket, washing versus stillness, silence, peacefulness...I know which one I recommend."

Raeleene has attended the stillness of the mind weekend 3 times since 2005.
