Coming Home to Self: A Weekend of Mindfulness and Introspection with Jenny Jackson
“Sometimes, coming home is not about returning to a place, but returning to ourselves.”
- Founder, Viveka Vana Retreat Centre
Coming Home to Self is a three-day, two-night mindfulness and yoga retreat thoughtfully created to offer space away from the demands and distractions of everyday life. A weekend just for you, to slow down, reconnect, and bring greater awareness to how you move through your days.
Guided by Jenny Jackson, the weekend will weave together mindfulness meditation, all-levels yoga, mindful eating and walking, Yoga Nidra, mindfulness workshops, nature-based activities, and quiet time for rest and reflection.
These practices will be offered not simply as experiences for the retreat itself, but as tools you can take home. Simple ways to pause, reconnect with yourself, and bring greater awareness and intention into ordinary moments.

Jenny is a seeker of inner well-being, and she consciously aligns herself living with an open mind, an open heart and embodies joy and vitality which is reflected in her welcoming & inclusive style of instruction.
