Mindfulness In Action
The Path to Self Acceptance
Earn 20 CEs and walk away believing that you are enough.
You’ve been doing the work to improve your relationship with yourself, it’s
time to put it all into action and earn 20 CEs while you do it.
Before we ask you to commit, let’s make sure you understand who this retreat is for:
You are a smart, successful, and highly motivated individual! Ask anyone and they’ll say how remarkable you are. Yet, you ask yourself how someone with a degree, a job, and goals can be stuck in feeling unremarkable and frustrated by the lack of control they have over their choices. Let’s fix this disconnect darling!
01
You want to take your inner critic off of repeat and start hearing and listening to your beautiful heart again
02
You want to flip your internal script from I am so tired to, I am fired up!
03
You want the way you feel inside to match what those around you already see on the outside
04
You want to understand research-proven approaches to giving up personal and professional emotional exhaustion for living an empowered life
05
You are a nurse and want to see and accept yourself with the same love and care that do for others
06
You want to learn how Yoga can become part of the way you support yourself as a person and a professional
You should join us if you want to move from wondering why someone who looks like they have it all together but feels scattered, numb and frustrated, to being able to accept, celebrate, and nourish yourself at the deepest level of your being. Let’s introduce you to who is guiding you on this journey.
Sara Bergakker
“Clinically qualified, but not emotionally equipped,” describes MOOXLI founder Sarah Bergakker, experience starting as an LPN in the emergency department at the age of 19. This theme continued as Sarah completed her bachelor’s in nursing and began work as an ER Trauma nurse, and then became a nurse anesthetist. After almost 20 years in healthcare, Sarah realized that she didn’t know what she was going to do differently but that her practices of perfectionism, numbing, and detaching from her emotional and physical self needed to change. Sarah started this work to discover if there was a way for her to continue to work in healthcare and find joy in her work. She is so thankful to have returned to the original passion of her calling in healthcare. Sarah will be sharing how self compassion and boundaries can effectively change our habits, change our lives, and ultimately support our own resilience.
Joan Mudget
Joan Mudget will guide you through daily movement, breathwork and meditation that supports the mind and body in making the shifts that will happen for you on this retreat. Joan’s background in executive leadership, and her personal experience with burnout and addiction recovery, allow her to guide you through deeper introspection. Joan will help you understand how yoga changed her life and guide you in incorporating these simple practices into your daily routine.
The Setting:
Great news darlings! We are returning to the incredible magic of Xinalani Eco Resort in the Beautiful Bay of Banderas, Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. We heard you all when you said you missed out on this sold-out retreat location in 2023 and want your chance to join us!
Join us in the magic and wild beauty of all Xinalani has to offer. Start your mornings listening to the ocean waves, feeling gentle breezes, and jungle birds greet the day with you in the open-air yoga studio. Spend dreamy nights sleeping in once-in-a-lifetime jungle bungalows while the ocean lulls you to sleep. Xinalani has thought of everything and will be nourishing your body and soul through their farm/ocean-to-table meals and onsite spa.
Enjoy kayaking, paddle boarding, swimming, or simply lounging by the oceanfront infinity pool.
All inclusive lodging rates range from $206-$450 per person/night and you have to reserve 5 nights of lodging to attend the retreat. Private and shared room lodging options are available.
