Desert Soul Retreat

December 15, 2017 @ 1:30 pm - December 16, 2017 @ 12:30 pm

Overnight Stay, December 15-16, 2017

Let’s face it. We all live busy lives, no matter where we are in life. We have responsibilities calling on us all day long, from relationships to work to paying the bills. These responsibilities can stack up if you start to neglect them and really wear and tear on your body and your mind. We should all do ourselves a favor and find the time for ourselves because no else will look out for us like we can.

Treat yourself this March with a soul filling experience that will disconnect you from the busy city life and reconnect you with yourself and nature. Join our 2 days retreat in the beautiful desert of Abu Dhabi.

The serenity of the desert is what makes this experience unique. The desert camp is strategically positioned not far from the city, yet far enough to find complete peace and to observe the majesty of the stars at night. The rooms are a glimpse of the Bedouin life inspired by traditional Bedouin tents that make the desert sounds and energy come to life.The simplicity of the sand coloured exterior and luxurious interior will captivate your imagination and transport you to a simpler time.

This blissful weekend is a genuine way to connect to your inner self and to the silence within.

We promise that you’ll emerge from this retreat feeling restored. You’ll feel fed on every level, through delicious food, beautiful landscape, rejuvenating body time, desert fun play, therapeutic painting, restorative energy practices and lots of laughter.

Join our 60 hours Teen Yoga teacher training program in Abu Dhabi from January 23-27, 2018 for a 5 day workshop hosted by the founder of Teen Yoga, Charlotta Martinus.

This course will help you develop a full understanding of how to teach yoga and mindfulness to adolescents aged 11 to 18, with a special focus on the 13 to 15 age group as this can be the most challenging time, developmentally, in working with teenagers.

For many, yoga proves to be a life changing tool. In the face of abuse or other trauma, yoga gives a toolkit to teens to change their path in life and head for a more successful and joyful future.

This course comes with a fully comprehensive manual written by expert teachers in various areas. It is designed to build your confidence and fill in the gaps of knowledge, looking at the infinite and classic wisdom of the philosophy of yoga for inspiration and blending it with present cutting edge research and science to give us a full picture of how best to approach this population with the healing science of yoga. At the end of this course you will feel completely confident to run a course, either intra-curricula or ex-curricula.

Growing Presence: Mindfulness & the Parental Transformation

Parenting can take a huge toll on any relationship. When I speak about relationships, there are three basic ones that concern me as a parent coach: the parent in relation to self, their parenting partner, and their child. Things can get complicated when you add other family and community, but my primary focus is on the parent change process. Mindful attention is the key to positive parental transformation. Many of our greatest parenting a-ha’s come from embracing our fragility and learning from observing. We are all beautiful works in progress, imperfect and striving to learn and grow through our experiences.

Speaker Amanda Tinnin:’ I am a Montessori-trained PCI Certified Parent Coach® and a respectful parenting guide. My personal 5-year parenting journey combined with extensive Montessori study and Parent Coaching Institute training made me realize that we need to approach parenting not from a teaching or problem-solving model, but a coaching one built on evidence-based research on what works to help provide the groundwork for successful family dynamics of your unique living system. I help transform families from the inside out. I coach individuals, couples, and groups in every stage of their parenting journey.

In this talk I will briefly describe what a parent coach does, introduce the Appreciative Inquiry-based PCI Coaching Model™ in which I am trained and share personal stories from both my personal and parent coaching experience with families in the UAE that show how lasting change processes come from mindfulness. I will then answer specific questions from your current parenting struggles to help you take practical steps into laying the foundation for transformation in your particular family. Being mindful is one of the best forms of self-care there is and modeling kindness and patience with ourselves and our partner is one of the greatest gifts we can provide our children, but it is a skill that requires on-going practice and commitment. Before you know it, change will come.

The talk: Not just about sitting still
This session is an introduction to mindfulness. Reasons for its popularity will be briefly discussed, as well as ways how mindfulness can be helpful in everyday life. The participants will get a chance to practice mindfulness and learn how to
introduce it to children. I look forward to seeing you there!
