What our participants say:
Skating with Mindfulness Outdoors helped me rebuild trust in my body and finally face my fear on the ice. After several stressful, frustrating attempts on my own, this was the first time I didn't feel pressured to perform or be an expert — just present, connected, and learning at my own pace. I left feeling more confident, independent, and genuinely excited for my next time on the ice.
Our mindful walk retreat at St Bruno was truly special — Moire created a fun, engaging experience in the most beautiful setting. From the peaceful walk to the creative activities (and that delicious drink!), every moment felt like a treat. I can't wait to attend more events like this.
I really enjoyed how organically we all connected. Even though we didn’t know each other before, it felt as if we had already met.
I also liked the way in which the topics were explained, using everyday examples that were easy to relate to.
It was a wonderful weekend and a training packed with great information I use almost daily in my practice. Well worth the trip!
Breathe, Walk, and Find Your Balance.
Reconnect with Nature, Recharge Your Mind.
