Meet Vibrant Living's Retreat Facilitator

Mary Jo, Vibrant Living's Wellness enthusiast will be leading this meditation and restorative yoga retreat in Hanmer Springs with her wonderful Vibrant team including her husband Steve.
Mary Jo has been practicing yoga for over 16 yrs, she is an advanced Teacher (700 hours). Mary Jo's 1st introduction to meditation was in a Vipassana 10 day silent meditation retreat in India. As daunting as it was to commit to such a course, it transformed Mary Jo's awareness of MIND, ENERGY and SPIRITUAL CONNECTION through her direct experience. It was in this 1st 10 day silent retreat that she first experienced the joy and gift of silence, and the experience of bliss after attaining a harmonious state and feeling of deep connection within herself and all life. On returning to the busy streets of India, the busy mind got active again, however the experience was so profound that Mary Jo has explored many styles of meditation techniques and yoga styles ever since, and now has taken 3 more Vipassana 10 day silent courses over the years in different countries around the world.
