Mindfulness Practice Days
We are happy to be able to offer days of nourishing practice to those who have already completed an eight week mindfulness course (it doesn't have to have been one of our courses, all MBCT/MBSR/MBCP graduates are welcome) and wish to deepen their understanding through a day of nourishing practice and / or maintain an already established practice.

Our first face to face Retreat Day in 2025 will take place on Sunday 14 September in the New Forest.
The theme of the day will be the power of connection.

Course Details
Our Retreat Days and half-days are a wonderful way to spend time in the company of other mindful beings, exploring different aspects of the practice of mindfulness.
The majority of the time is spent with the participants in silence whilst being gently guided in awareness and compassion by a highly-skilled facilitator. The intention of these days is to cultivate a greater sense of present awareness, free of the usual social pressures and obligations we all feel.
​
The day begins with a hot drink, snack and introduction from the teacher, followed by a series of guided meditations. These include both still practices, and those involving gentle movement and walking. The session closes with time to reflect on the experience and connect before we finish.
Comfortable clothing in layers that can be added and removed is advised. We ask participants to bring their own yoga mat, blanket and meditation cushion or bench if you have these and we will also have some available for those who don't.
​
The day of practice will take place in an accessible well-ventilated space.
​
Weather permitting, we may run some of the session outdoors in the beautiful surroundings.
If you have any questions about the facilities or the day itself please do get in touch.
