Description

A quiet, peaceful day, away from the hustle and bustle of daily life, where course participants can explore and deepen their mindfulness meditation practice.

Day Retreat Overview

Similar to our Supported Practice Days, this day includes a series of guided meditations and gentle exercises supported by an experienced facilitator, as well as time for discussion, feedback and relaxation. The focus of the day is the 7 pillars of mindfulness (Jon Kabat-Zinn's attitudinal foundations), which are the basis of our mindfulness courses.
It provides an ideal opportunity to:
  • Set aside some time to relax, refresh and rejuvenate yourself
  • Deepen your meditation practice and strengthen the skills learnt during your course
  • Enjoy some simple and effective mindful movement exercises
  • Develop skills to use in your daily life to help you become and remain calm, relaxed, focused and energised

Who can Attend

This practice day is designed to support our MBSR / MBCT course participants and graduates, or those with an established meditation practice. Please note, certificates of attendance are available upon request.

This retreat is not suitable for beginners, but we do offer a range of alternative events (including taster sessions and introductory workshops) which are ideal for those exploring mindfulness for the first time.
