THE WAY OUT IS IN
Cultivate Mindful Self-Compassion & Resilience in Nature
to thrive together in a changing world
Join a late summer 5-day immersion into experiential practices of Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) in the face of transition, embedded in the wider sphere of inner growth (Inner Development Goal Framework) to support pathways of building holistic resilience, and somatically anchored in contemplative nature connection practices (Awake in the Wild).
“The Way Out is In”
To become more engaged in the world in a way that helps develop wisdom, love and compassion, we need to transcend our fear, anger and perceived lack of agency. The way out of any difficulty is to look deeply within, gain insights and then put these into practice at the intersection of personal transformation and systems’ change – and we can do it together!
Welcome to Ostana,a Piemontese village
on its path of rejuvenation in the Italian Alps!

Teachers
Mirjam and Lotta are Mindful Self-Compassion teachers, and have both lived and worked extensively in the world. They are inspired by other cultures’ notions that help people reconnect with the of the preciousness of life, starting within themselves, extending to others and the world. One such notion is the Bantu word ‘Ubuntu’, spoken in South Africa.
It is translated into “I am because we/you are” – a person is a person through other persons. And this includes the trainable skills of awareness, (self-)compassion and personal resilience.
