A Wellness Journey with COMO Shambhala

⭐ REFLECT - RECONNECT – REVIVE ⭐ 

A PERSONAL TRANSFORMATION RETREAT 

The 2.5-day personal transformation retreat is a powerful and immersive experience designed to facilitate profound positive changes in participants by integrating the realms of mind, body, and emotions.

Expertly designed by Dr Oberdan Marianetti, a renowned Psychologist as featured in The Straits Times, Vogue, South China Morning Post and Tatler, the retreat offers a unique blend of psycho-education weaved in with experiential activities aimed at unlocking personal growth and facilitating lasting transformation.

The retreat's foundation lies in the understanding that true transformation involves a holistic approach, addressing not only cognitive processes but also emotional and physical aspects. The experiential activities, carefully curated and expertly guided, are strategically chosen to create a synergistic effect that enhances participants' self-awareness, resilience, and ability to overcome life's challenges.

Foundational Psycho-Education Pillars:

·  Overcoming Life Struggles: Engage in guided discussions and workshops that delve into the understanding of your personal struggles. Through psycho-education, gain insights into the psychological underpinnings of these challenges, and be enabled to reframe your perspectives and explore practical strategies for overcoming adversity.

·  Building Resilience: The retreat provide an overview of principles and psychological factors that contribute to resilience. Learn how to cultivate resilience through cognitive and emotional strategies, enabling you to bounce back from life's setbacks and navigate challenges with greater strength and adaptability.

·  Managing Stressors and Healthy Coping: Psycho-educational sessions will provide you with a deeper comprehension of stress and its impact on your wellbeing. Learn evidence-based techniques for stress management and healthy coping mechanisms. This knowledge will empower you to apply practical tools to reduce stress and enhance emotional regulation.

·  Letting Go of Limiting Beliefs:  Explore the concept of limiting beliefs and how they shape your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours through discussions and learning workshops. Gain insights into how to facilitate the release of these beliefs, allowing for personal transformation and growth.

Experiential Activities:

Physical activity is incorporated to complement and reinforce the psychological work required for the personal transformation process.

·  Breathwork: Breathwork sessions provide experiential learning opportunities, allowing participants to directly experience the mind-body connection. By engaging in specific breathing exercises, you'll discover how conscious breath control can influence your emotional states, fostering relaxation, focus, and emotional regulation.

·  Guided Meditation: Learn firsthand how meditation can enhance self-awareness, reduce rumination, and promote emotional wellbeing. These experiences help you to integrate mindfulness as a tool for managing stress and fostering resilience

·  Yoga Movement: Yoga movement sessions combine psycho-education with experiential learning, helping participants embody the principles of self-acceptance, presence, and physical wellbeing. Through mindful movement, you'll learn to connect with your body, enhance body awareness, and cultivate a sense of balance and harmony.

·  Cold Plunge: The cold plunge activity serves as a metaphorical and physiological experience. By immersing themselves in the cold water, you'll practice regulating your physical and emotional responses to discomfort. This experiential exercise reinforces the principles of stress tolerance, adaptability, and stepping outside comfort zones.

By embracing this unique combination of psycho-education and experiential activities, embark on a transformative journey toward lasting positive change, facilitated by the expertise of a renowned psychologist. Be empowered to overcome obstacles, enhance your resilience, and cultivate a greater sense of self-awareness and emotional wellbeing.

WHAT PAST PARTICIPANTS SAY: 

Working with Dr Oberdan Marianetti at his OM-Wellness Retreat was a life-changing experience. He viscerally demonstrated to me the problematic internal lens through which I view and interpret the world around me, and helped me discover a concrete path to overcome deeply ingrained patterns of behaviour and thought that I could see were harmful to myself and those around me.

The Retreat has given me renewed internal motivation to continue working on becoming a better person for the benefit of myself and others. I no longer have problems sitting in meditation for longer times on a daily basis, and do not view the endeavour of doing the hard work to better oneself as a chore. Daniel

Dr Oberdan delivered everything at a good pace and with passion. He listened, allowed time, gave input and was attentive to requirements. For me it was the perfect level of educational, relevant, personal attention and physical activities. Marissa

The breathing exercises we did with the group and the unique experience I felt during the exercise is just magical.  The kind of mindset that we were able to set before going into the cold plunge is something that we can apply in everything that we do in life.  The ice bath experience is also beautiful and I’m happy I did that in this retreat and not in a different setup.
