Explore mindfulness practices and connect with others on a shared journey in this diabetes-focused retreat led by Heather Nielsen, LPC, CHWC.
Join Heather Nielsen, LPC, CHWC, for “A Mindful (Half) Day with Diabetes Sangha,” a transformative mindfulness meditation retreat.
“A Mindful (Half) Day with Diabetes Sangha” will be led by Heather Nielsen, LPC, CHWC, and a person living with type 1 diabetes since 1997. This retreat takes place on Sunday, September 8, 2024, from 8 am to 1 pm PT / 11 am to 4 pm ET, and offers a unique opportunity to explore mindfulness in the context of living with diabetes.
During this half-day retreat, you’ll be guided through practices and teachings designed to help you develop compassion and awareness around your experience with diabetes. Heather will lead you in meditations and discussions that encourage “being with” diabetes in a mindful and non-judgmental way. Together, we’ll explore how to engage with our thoughts, feelings, and sensations without grasping or denying and celebrate the strength and resilience required to manage diabetes.
Prepare to immerse yourself in a nurturing environment free from distractions to fully engage with this journey. Bring all necessary diabetes supplies, snacks, and anything else you need to ensure a comfortable experience.
Whether you’re new to mindfulness or are well-practiced, this retreat offers a welcoming space to connect with others who understand your journey. Reserve your spot today and take a mindful step towards compassionate diabetes self-care.
