Geoff and I were so fortunate to share in Daniel’s first Hakuba retreat in beautiful Japan. The panoramic beauty of the country setting was simply breath taking. The diverse wholefood menu of meals were delicious and prepared with love by Daniel. The soulful blend of people that were brought together to share in the experience was just perfect and with each one ,we now regard as a special friend. The hiking , yoga sessions ,meditation , delectable food , new friendships and of course our wonderful host Daniel ,made it a memorable retreat, one we will always remember and be infinitely grateful for having experience it.
I attended the retreat in gorgeous Hakuba Japan with Daniel Cerny this year and feel so blessed to have had such a magical experience that I will cherish forever. The scenery was so beautiful and picturesque, making for the perfect setting to unwind, relax and rejuvenate. I was fortunate to be in the company of wonderful like-minded people, who shared their stories and gifted me with their wisdom.
I cannot speak more highly of our host and wellness coach Daniel Cerny – His teachings on nutrition and mindfulness inspired me to lead a more heartfull, healthy and fulfilled life, and to be in the moment. Daniel’s holistic vegan cooking was amazing, the best Japanese style cuisine I have ever tasted. I also greatly enjoyed the walks on the mountains, yoga by the waterfalls and the daily meditation exercises.
I highly recommend the experience to anyone that wishes to change their life for the better.

The difference now is, I feel I have the fuel, patience & presence to attend & engage & enjoy the slow moments in between the rush that is life of a working mum. I wanted to thank you both for the nurturing, patience, warmth & heart that was shared this weekend. No detail was left unturned & it was these small touches that made the retreat so unique, so moving & has helped me shift! Everything from the accommodation, to personalized welcome notes, recipe books, perfumes, green smoothies on waking & impressive banquets! I think I am noticing myself more & have an acute awareness around moments of mindfulness & moments of ‘autopilot’. Thank you for sharing your wisdom, your teachings, your attitude & passion with me. It was a real treat to be looked after (especially when feeling unwell). It was such a privilege to have met you both & to have had 2 days of time to nurture me.
With warmth & kindness,

2013 Wellness retreats
The purpose of this retreat was to learn to use the skills of mindfulness to restore your sense of balance and equanimity. Help you to change the way you think therefore change your life…
THE DETOX PERIOD “When you refrain from habitual thoughts and behavior, the uncomfortable feelings will still be there. They don’t magically disappear. Over the years, I’ve come to call resting with the discomfort “the detox period,” because when you don’t act on your habitual patterns, it’s like giving up an addiction. You’re left with the feelings you were trying to escape. The practice is to make a wholehearted relationship with that.”
