Held in Wolfville, Nova Scotia
Facilitated by: Jacqueline Milner, Registered Psychologist/Advanced Certified Mindfulness and MBCT Teacher, Trauma-Informed Yoga Instructor
This semi-silent morning retreat offers a space to step out of the pace of daily life and into a few hours of quiet, guided restoration.
Through gentle meditation, mindful movement, breathwork, and deep rest, you will be supported in settling the nervous system and reconnecting with a sense of steadiness and ease.
Gently guided by the grounding steadiness of earth, the openness of breath, and the restorative rhythm of water, the morning unfolds with simplicity and space.
There is minimal talking and no expectation to share.
This is not about going deeper.
It is about softening, slowing down, and giving your system a chance to reset.
No experience is needed. All practices are gentle and accessible.
The morning unfolds gently, with spaciousness between practices and no pressure to engage or share.
Arrival
You are welcomed into a quiet, settled space with tea available. There is minimal talking, and you are invited to arrive in your own way—no need to interact.
Ground
We begin with a short, guided meditation to support grounding and orientation—an opportunity to settle into the body and the present moment.
Breathe and Move
Gentle, trauma-informed movement and simple breath practices invite ease and openness. All movement is slow, accessible, and guided with choice.
Nourishment Pause
A light break with tea and simple nourishment, with an invitation to slow down and savour.
Wander and Notice
A gentle, unstructured stroll along the dykes — an invitation to wander, sense, and be held by the land and water around you.
Rest
An extended, ocean-inspired Yoga Nidra practice offers deep rest—supporting the body and mind in releasing effort and settling more fully.
Closing
We gather briefly to close the morning. There is no expectation to share—only a gentle invitation for quiet reflection, with the option to speak if it feels right. We close with a supported transition back into the day.
You are invited to wear comfortable clothing and dress for the weather, as we will spend some time outdoors.
Feel free to bring a water bottle and yoga mat if you wish, although mats and meditation cushions will be provided.
A light nourishment break will be offered, and you are welcome to bring anything else that would support your comfort.
