Self-Love Sunday Retreat: Befriend Yourself With Kindness
Feb 28, 2027
From: 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM
A walk to Lotus Lagoon, contemplative journaling and mindful movement anchor a day devoted to self-kindness at Patch of Heaven Sanctuary. Taking place Sunday, February 28, 2027, the retreat combines nature-based mindfulness with opportunities to reflect on how participants relate to themselves. The program explores maitri, or friendliness toward oneself, and metta, the practice of loving-kindness.
The day begins with light breakfast refreshments and a sankalpa, or intention-setting ceremony. A guided nature walk leads to Lotus Lagoon, while individual journaling in a designated “Magic Spot” provides time for quiet contemplation. Other activities include movement exploration, sound practices and a guided body scan practiced lying on the earth.
An organic lunch is included. After the guided program concludes at 2 p.m., participants may remain until 5 p.m. to explore the sanctuary’s 20 acres of forest, gardens and ponds in South Miami-Dade.
