THE PROGRAMME
Across seven days, you’ll explore Ruby’s signature approach to mindfulness - blending neuroscience, emotional honesty and practical tools for staying steady in an unsteady world. Each day includes a mix of guided sessions, the science behind the exercises, open discussion, quiet reflection, and time to just be.
This isn’t about perfection or enlightenment. It’s about coming home to yourself.
Ruby leads every session with her signature mix of intellect, humour and heart. Drawing on her training in mindfulness-based cognitive therapy at Oxford, and decades of lived experience, she unpacks what’s happening in the brain - and how to change your relationship with your thoughts, emotions, and patterns.
She doesn’t promise miracles. But she does promise tools. Tools that can help you reset your nervous system, break the cycle of negative thinking, and respond to life with more clarity, courage and compassion.
THE VENUE
Blue Spirit is perched on a hilltop overlooking the Pacific, surrounded by jungle and wildlife. The setting is extraordinary - open-air yoga pavilions, saltwater infinity pool, and just a short walk to the beach.
THE ACCOMMODATION
Guests can choose from a range of options, from ocean view suites to eco-friendly cottages nestled in the treetops. Each space is simple, comfortable, and built with sustainability in mind. Quiet, restful, and a world away from everyday noise.
THE FOOD
Three times a day, you’ll be served delicious, organic, plant-based meals — freshly prepared using local ingredients. Meals are communal, because connection is part of the healing. And the views? They’re a course of their own.
THE RESULTS
The Mind Reset at Blue Spirit is your invitation to step off the treadmill and reconnect with yourself - not in theory, but in practice. It’s a chance to recharge your inner batteries, reset your mindset, and leave with tools that travel far beyond the jungle.
