Dear Friends of Mindfulness Travels,
We're very happy to announce our very first Mindfulness Travels retreat to Antartica, which will feature training in thermal self-regulation in sub-freezing temperatures, mindful walks with penguins, and swimming with seals beneath the polar ice caps. I must confess that my compassion practice prevents me from going further with this very foolish April Fools message! Please read below for the—hopefully—non-foolish section of our newsletter, which includes news about our Spain retreat as well as a practice resource. Thank you.
Some of the most breathtaking scenery we have ever encountered has been in Asturias, Spain. In September 2019, we will hold our third retreat there, joined by our multitalented friend and co-teacher Lavinia Plonka.
Words cannot adequately describe the beauty, spaciousness, serenity, and pure joy we have always encountered during our times in Asturias, a place settled by the Celts and known for its majestic mountain scenery, friendly village life, and deep nature. Our retreat is located within Las Ubiñas-La Mesa Nature Reserve, a pristine UNESCO biosphere reserve that has a rich cultural heritage. This retreat will integrate Awareness Through Movement®, mindfulness meditation, gentle mindful movement, and personal & professional applications of mindfulness, self-compassion, and mindful movement for health, wellness, and balance—physically and emotionally. You will also have plenty of time for exploration of nature and culture through guided excursions. CE credits for qualified professionals have been approved.

PRACTICE RESOURCE: EQUANIMITY vs. INDIFFERENCE
We often discuss the differences between equanimity and indifference during our retreats. Understanding these differences can support your mindfulness practice. For a brief article by Jack Kornfield on this topic, please click on the following link:
