The seven-day Seeds of Resilience option delivers the full Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) curriculum, widely considered the gold standard of teaching and building a mindfulness habit. It includes personal training and plenty of downtime to enjoy the beautiful setting.

The ten-day Seeds of Resilience option also includes much of the mPEAK (mindfulness for peak performance) curriculum. Developed for athletes and widely used by first responders, this training is applicable to anyone who wants to perform at their best—whether you’re navigating parenthood, presenting to investors, preparing for surgery, pitching clients, or strengthening relationships. The ten-day program also provides more time to reinforce mindfulness habits, deepen personal training, and fully enjoy Casa El Rincón del Sol.

Mind and body communicate in both directions. Physical health influences mental health, and vice versa. The retreat is designed to strengthen both, creating positive habits for resilience. Seeds of Resilience offers an opportunity to pair mindfulness with movement—building a gym for the body and a gym for the brain.

Yes! Mindfulness isn’t magic, but it is powerful. Forty years of research shows mindfulness can outperform pharmaceuticals in addressing physical, psychological, and behavioral health problems.

It also improves performance and resilience in high-stress environments, increases situational awareness for athletes and first responders, supports students, lawyers, doctors, musicians, and executives, and reduces compassion fatigue for caregivers and helpers.

Mindfulness is not a replacement for medical or psychological treatment or professional skill training—but it is a valuable complement.

Yes. We all spend time in our own heads—this retreat is about making that space kinder and more supportive. At Seeds of Resilience, we’ll practice neutralizing unhelpful thoughts (worry, catastrophizing, intrusive thoughts, etc.) so they lose their grip.

Note: Kim and Brandy are not psychologists. If you are struggling with suicidal ideation or other mental health challenges that place you in danger, please consult your own therapist and reach out to us to determine whether this is the right setting for you.

Yes. Mindfulness takes practice—not because it’s difficult, but because it means breaking old habits and forming new ones. The hardest part is remembering to practice, especially when time feels scarce.

At the Seeds of Resilience Retreat, you’ll step away from daily stress and distractions, giving you space to make mindfulness the priority. We focus on habit formation—helping you set intentions and align your choices with your goals.

Absolutely. Whether you want to deepen your practice or recommit to it, this retreat offers the perfect environment. Stepping away from daily commotion allows you to reconnect with the gifts of quiet wakefulness.

This is one of the most common concerns, yet nearly everyone who commits to mindfulness training says it created more spaciousness in their lives. They became more intentional with their time, wasted less of it, and enjoyed what kept them busy.

At Seeds of Resilience, you’ll step away from daily noise to build mindfulness “muscle memory.” When you return, you’ll be energized, focused, and less distracted by what would normally overwhelm you.

In 1979, Jon Kabat-Zinn created the MBSR program at UMass Medical Center to help patients who weren’t responding to treatment. He drew from Zen Buddhist practices and secularized them into an evidence-based curriculum that combined body awareness, thought awareness, and stress physiology.

Forty years of research now show that MBSR participants feel healthier, experience less pain, improve mood, and show measurable biological benefits—changes in brain function, immune response, and even gene expression.

Yes. Casa El Rincón del Sol is a private estate, not near resort areas that sometimes make the news. Please contact the hosts directly if you’d like more details or reassurance.
