Wellness and Self-Care

Too often, the work of caregivers and changemakers comes at the expense of their own well-being. Both in spite of, and because of, their commitment to the welfare of others, The Uplands encourages guests to honor the needs of their own mind, body and spirit.

Self-care is a critical way to support the commitment to advance the public good and is inseparable from the work that caregivers and changemakers do in the world. At The Uplands, a number of accessible activities that soothe the mind and nourish the body can be easily incorporated into retreat offerings, whether via a morning yoga class, mid-day breathing exercises and self-regulation techniques or an evening sound bath. Such practices help restore depleted energies, deepen connections amongst people and enable them to re-engage their work more effectively from a centered state of mind.
