This past year has challenged many of us in so many ways.
Digging deep to find that last bit of energy or stamina to keep going...
Burnout is REAL.
And the long term impact of burnout, exhaustion and depletion may take YEARS to recover from.
Deep down, we know we need to take care of ourselves in order to care for others.
However, taking care of ourselves is easier said than done.
Health, vitality, well-being and caring for yourself, is ESSENTIAL.
Given the right conditions, we have the ability to live with more joy, heal, recover, grow and thrive!
Self care.
This buzz word has been known as a simple act of pampering one’s self.
In our experience, self care actually comes in layers.
1. The surface: 💅🍷🛁💆🏼♀️
This layer of self care feels good in the moment, can give a sense of relaxation and provides us with a ‘pause’ in our busy lives.
But, the lasting effects of this layer are minimal and can cause us to avoid the deeper layers of self care.
2. The deep dive: 🥰🥗🌪😢🍇
This layer is built on self compassion , setting boundaries, nurturing your mind-body-soul and feeling into your emotions.
Although going to the depths of this level of self care can drain more energy, open up difficult conversations and you may feel as if you’re on your own.
3. The core: ☀️🌿💫❤️
This layer of self care taps into the infinite energy source within you. Endless and always available.
At this depth, we value self, we know we are worthy of love and experience our truest essence.
Each layer of self care brings its own gifts and challenges.
But exploring each layer is necessary to battle burnout and experience a life filled with joy, ease, alignment, flow, connection, love, clarity, compassion and vitality!
To learn more about how to avoid burnout, join us for a 10-week, self activation online retreat.
‘Renewed Resilience’ starts on Sept 29th and ends Dec 1st.

enso....a sacred circular emblem that represents a path to enlightenment - a symbol that represents my love of all things Japanese.
I first fell in love with Japan when I was 8 yrs old when my grade 3 teacher introduced us to the culture, history, art and so much more. So much so, I have built a Japanese inspired treehouse and studio-dorm.
For me it also represents the journey of connecting to a deeper purpose and meaning. enso was born from my own journey to a truer self.
My lived experiences of learning with, from and about people seeking experiences and conversations to connect to a truer self, a best self, a deeper self. My journey to embracing my own self-compassion required me to dig deep, try out new things, fail, and get back up to try again. I ascribe to “Feel it to Heal It” and it is hard and worth it.
And when the mountains meet the sea, a place of beauty, awe, tranquility and magic happens...all here at enso Retreat Centre on Salt Spring Island.
A sacred space for healing, learning, playing, connecting, refocusing, dreaming, laughing and loving.
We pride ourselves on creating an environment that attracts and invites seekers, leaders, dreamers and influencers to an enso experience. Perfect to host your own retreat or family gathering.
Our signature retreats are purposefully and thoughtfully designed to expose and introduce retreat goers to experiences and activities that invite small shifts taking them a notch further along the continuum of enlightenment and lasting change.
Through connection, compassion and a dose of lightheartedness, people leave enso feeling nurtured, motivated and energized to be “A Shade More..”.
