A Retreat with a difference: Way of Mindfulness retreat walks - where going out really means going in!

Join me on this full-day, late Spring mindful walking retreat and discover Cwm Glasgwm, yet another stunning, hidden corner of Snowdonia National Park/Parc Cenedlaethol Eryri in North Wales! Drop into awareness on this full-day Mindful Walk as we walk and meditate along the banks of beautiful river valleys, up into forestry tracks to meditate beside waterfalls; over hilltops with stunning spacious panoramic views out across to the Migneint Moors, meandering along ancient tracks before dropping back down into the Cwm Glasgwm/Glasgwm valley.

Whether you wish to drop into silence, deepen your practice or really give yourself the opportunity to become familiar with Mindfulness practice in the outdoors, just your own space in the company of a group, this is the event for you.

My mindful walks combine mindfulness meditation & mindful walking, space for talking and - importantly - for silence, where we harness the power of connecting with ourselves, nature and each other. Practicing meditation outdoors increases our connection to and appreciation of nature, ourselves, each other and the planet and reduces stress, building resilience and re-connecting us with our inner resources. Join us and you can feel rejuvenated, invigorated and inspired, rediscovering your innate ability to connect deeply with yourself, others, nature and your direct moment-to-moment experience.

As we explore this corner of Snowdonia, you’ll learn simple meditation techniques, connecting with nature via each of the senses, with group chats around the meditations to facilitate learning from the experiences of the group. You'll be warmly welcomed & at ease with my calm, reassuring manner, my passion for & experience of practicing & teaching mindfulness meditation, embodied movement & walking in the outdoors, along with my local knowledge & enthusiasm for this beautiful area.

...And rounding it off with Tea & Chat!

Back at the start point, tea, coffee and cake will be served, picnic style, giving you a chance to take in the events of the day and gather up connections before winding your way home.

Welcome to my events page!My passion is about providing a space for others that supports their coming home to their Self.  I do this through mindful walks, scenic singing walks and Mindful Navigation days for Women. My walking habit started as a youngster and really gained traction as a way to recovery after experiencing trauma.  My walk leader experience includes third sector with client groups ranging from ethnic diversity, to the Walk for Health Cymru scheme to Wellbeing Sessions for trauma survivors to "Choir Goes Walking" walks with all age ranges. I love to take my meditation and self-care practice outdoors and see this as something of great therapeutic value to offer clients and walk & meditation participants.  Development of Self is, to me, intertwined with development of our Voice and vice-versa.  A classically trained singer with the Royal Academy of Music, my experience of working as a therapist eventually became integrated into my vocal approach.  I now integrate body awareness and exploration into sound and voice on Scenic Singing Walks. I trained to teach Mindfulness with the Bangor Centre for Mindfulness Research & Practice (CMRP): my training is ongoing.  I achieved my Lowland Walk Leader award with the Mountain Training Association (MTA), have completed the Hill & Moorland Leader training and am working towards my Mountain Leader training & qualification.

Testimonials: "I felt exactly as if I had been on retreat - I didn't expect it to be so profound, or so nourishing as it's only a short time (3hrs). It was totally different from an ordinary walk." (Josie, 2019)

"Everything about the walk was spot on - the pace, the content, Belinda's marvellous way of containment and calm - just brilliant. It's so lovely to find something that's so nourishing and beautifully organised." (Dee, 2019)

"Thank you for being a kind and patient guide - for someone that finds meditation a challenge I really appreciated your gentleness and the feeling of permission to not be very good at it! I felt welcomed to the event even though I'm not really one to enjoy being still very often and I was surprised that I enjoyed some of the stillness!" (Jennie, 2019)

"Belinda [was] very patient, empathetic and very ready to explain or give feedback. She was extremely proficient in handling the diverse individuals in the group and at getting people to open up about their experiences."

"I highly recommend....Belinda's very high standard of teaching and guidance which was excellent and thank you!"
