WHAT TO EXPECT

​

Retreats are essential for anyone looking to truly understand and deepen their meditation practice. Stepping away from everyday life creates the space needed to connect more fully with yourself and experience true stillness. Even if your goal isn’t to teach, going on retreat offers a unique opportunity for personal growth, helping you develop a sense of inner peace and well-being that you can carry back into daily life. 

​

Join us to:

• Reset from daily routines and gain clarity for your meditation journey.

• Nourish your body and soul with organic meals, nature’s wisdom, and a supportive community.

• Expand your meditation practice with new tools and a deeper connection to nature.

• Awaken to new insights and return home ready to share your practice.

 

CERTIFICATION

​

For those who are part of MTT, this retreat will count as 50 hours toward your 200 Hour or 300 Hour YogaMcc Meditation Teacher Training.

TEACHERS

Daemond Mano - Meditation Teacher Training Director, YogaMcc Owner

Daemond grew up in Calgary, but he is a traveler by trade, having visited over 30 countries in his life. One of his favorite things to do is understand how other people live on this earth. Like most of us, he has often wondered why we are here. Daemond has sat with Monks in the Temples of South East Asia and has spent time with Aboriginals in Australia learning about Dreamtime. He has journeyed with Shamans in Central America and created concoctions with witch doctors in Africa. He has read and researched much in the vein of spirituality and science and connections between the two, a field called Epigenetics. Daemond is also very passionate about building community and safe containers for seekers to grow into the highest vision of themselves. For him this all starts with a foundation of friendship. Daemond's primary practices are Meditation and Breathwork. He is certified to teach Clarity Breathwork, Numa Breathwork, and has studied breathwork at the Omega Institute in New York. He is also certified to teach Active Meditations from Osho Humaniversity in Holland, Systemic & Family Constellations, and was given permission to teach the life's work of Zen Master Nissim Amon, a modality called Trilotherapy, which includes Zen Buddhist meditation. He also enjoys integrating sound into his offerings and is certified by Jonathan Goldman in sound healing. He's very passionate about sharing all these tools with the humans around him that feel called to explore the depths of who we are.
