This week Lauren & Nicole are going on a silent retreat …Shhhhhhhh! Silent retreats are immersive experiences where participants engage in prolonged periods of silence. They are designed to promote introspection, mindfulness, and a deeper connection with oneself, often incorporating practices like mindfulness, meditation, yoga, and nature walks. The absence of verbal communication allows people to detach from the distractions of daily life, creating a greater sense of peace and clarity. To help us this week we enlisted Jo Kaye who is a Mindfulness Coach and Trainer. She hosted the retreat and joins us on the show to unpack the experience with us.  In this episode they discuss: Why we are so uncomfortable without distractions What happens when we tune into ourselves The power of slowing down How mindfulness supports our wellbeing.  If you liked this episode and want to be part of the club, come follow us on all our socials:  To Listen To Our Brand New Podcast 40ISH - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/40ish/id1757876983 To order our book “HAVE YOU TRIED THIS?” click here  https://www.amazon.co.uk/Have-You-Tried-This-Only/dp/1801293139/ref=sr_1_2?crid=1O7EA4ZF1O5CS&keywords=have+you+tried+this&qid=1699449028&sprefix=have+you+tried+%2Caps%2C125&sr=8-2 For Our Exclusive Merch - https://self-care-club.myspreadshop.co.uk/ Join Our Private Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/1115099072702743/?ref=share_group_link Instagram  https://www.instagram.com/selfcareclubpod/ YouTube https://youtube.com/c/SelfCareClub TikTok https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMLnXyS1S/ Email [email protected]  Website www.theselfcareclub.co.uk Studio production by @launchpodstudios Music by purpleplanet.com   To get in touch with Jo Kaye Website: https://www.thebreatheacademy.co.uk Weekly email subscription: https://thebreatheacademy.us15.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=67c59f83a13494ff6e08aefad&id=8272f82ad7 Purpose People (private mental health OT in the community): https://www.purposepeopleltd.com FB and Insta: @thebreatheacademy To celebrate LYMA winning Vogue’s ‘Best Laser Device’ of 2024, for a very limited time only, we are giving you first access to this exclusive private sale.
