We are committed to providing additional support to those practising mindfulness and we are therefore pleased to termly online One Day Retreats. These are open to anyone who has completed an approved eight-week mindfulness course and wishes to reconnect with or deepen their practice in community with other mindfulness practitioners.
What’s involved?
A day of coming together as mindfulness practitioners to reconnect and deepen our practice.
An ongoing mindfulness practice provides the foundations for sharing mindfulness with others. Embodied awareness is at the heart of this.
This one-day retreat therefore represents an opportunity to reconnect with your practice as part of a community of mindfulness practitioners.
Starting at 10am and finishing at 3.30pm, the first half of the day will consist of a mix of formal and informal practice, enquiry and group discussion. In the afternoon sessions there will be periods of silence, combining practising while sitting, stretching, walking and journaling. Participants will have the option for this to be a silent retreat if they wish to.
Attendance certificates will be provided to all participants, and we will welcome feedback from those who attend the retreat.
