MINDFULNESS MINI-RETREAT
SATURDAY, 1:00-4:00, may 2, 2026
This 3-hour afternoon retreat offers time to slow down, rest, and reconnect with yourself. We’ll explore gentle seated and lying-down meditation, mindful movement, and written reflection.
No mindfulness experience is required. Wear comfortable clothing—whatever helps you feel at ease.
This is a supportive space for self-care and awareness. You’re welcome to show up just as you are.
“I’ve attended many of Joy’s classes and retreats over the years and I always find something new to take away. Through her acceptance, presence and kindness, Joy guides me to a place within that I wasn’t sure existed. I would recommend everyone—beginner to experienced practitioner—to sit with Joy and see where she can lead you. ”

“Joy has a gentleness and ease to her being. She offers a variety of meditation experiences that are helpful to those new to mindfulness and great for those with an established practice looking for new ways to be present in their daily life.”
Hi, my name is Joy. I help people who struggle with anxiety, exhaustion, and busyness to slow down and savor life.
Mindfulness and meditation seem daunting but I teach practices that are easy to work into your day. These are low-commitment but high-impact tools that are quick to master.
With my guidance, mindfulness goes from something you wish you did regularly to a well-formed habit integrated into your life.
“Joy is a wonderful teacher. There’s no right or wrong in her mindfulness classes, as she’ll remind you each week. The environment is warm and encouraging. If you lose your way just start again. She gives suggestions to bring awareness to your everyday life so, no matter how busy you are, there is time for mindfulness.”
