A Weekend of Meditation, Authentic Connection & Presence
Join us for a three-day journey into depth, honesty, and aliveness through Meditation, Nonviolent Communication (NVC), and Transformational Connection (Circling). Set in the stunning and rugged hillside of Todmordon with access to scenic walks straight from the door and wild swimming a short hike away.
Each day focuses on a distinct yet complementary practice:
Day 1 – Meditation
Settle into silence and presence through individual, relational, and group meditation.
We’ll explore how stillness, awareness, and curiosity open the door to our true nature and a deeper sense of being.
Day 2 – Nonviolent Communication (NVC)
Learn how to express yourself with honesty and empathy while staying connected to others.
NVC offers practical tools for navigating feelings, needs, and requests — helping presence move into daily life and relationships.
Day 3 – Transformational Connection (Circling)
Enter a more fluid, emergent field of authentic connection and collective presence.
Circling invites curiosity, vulnerability, and play, allowing us to experience ourselves and others freshly in each moment.
Whether you’re new or experienced in one or more of these practices, the weekend is designed to be accessible, experiential, and deeply human. The schedule is spacious, with one session planned morning, afternoon and evening to leave time to relax, reflect and explore the local area if desired.
You’ll leave with skills you can apply in everyday life and a lived sense of connection to something larger than yourself.
