This retreat is for anyone wishing to explore meditation and their inner world. You may want to inspire or re-inspire your meditation, or to learn meditation from scratch. Whatever your starting point, we take a relaxed approach, aiming to make meditation as enjoyable and enriching as possible. We also discover how to make meditation uniquely our own, seeking
the right approach for ourselves at different times. In this way, meditation can become a real resource and a steady support in our lives. Anyone who has lost confidence in meditating, or who wishes to recharge their practice, may find this retreat especially helpful.

We base the retreat on the Gentle Guides to Mindfulness Meditation a series of books by Locana (Elizabeth English). We also draw on mindful perspectives found in Focusing, Nonviolent Communication and Somatic Experiencing. Workshops include interactive exercises and time for creative expression. You may wish to record or journal your meditation journey in ways you enjoy, e.g. writing, artwork, movement, song, walks in nature. For more information and detail of the daily programme please read the retreat information sheet.

The retreat is suitable for those of any faith or none.
