A Day of Inclusive Practice

Join our first online Manchester Mindfulness Festival event of the New Year!

An inclusive day of mindfulness-based practice with BAMBA-registered teachers, including Christoph Spiessens, Michelle Harris, Nicholas Hammond, Lucy Ranger, and Kalyana Bliss. (Teacher info below.)

Expect a welcoming, compassionate, and neuro-affirming approach to exploring traditional and newer practices.

The day is a mini-retreat, suitable for those with an existing mindfulness practice. Good to know: If you are a mindfulness teacher, our practice day meets BAMBA's Good Practice Guidelines (for contributing towards annual retreat requirements).

Fee: £10 to help us cover basic organisational costs.
Donations: There will be the possibility to make a donation afterwards, which will be shared with the teachers. Thank you.

The ZOOM link will be in your booking confirmation email (and will also be in the reminder email we send closer to the event).

We look forward to welcoming you to our Day of Inclusive Practice!
