Mindfulness is much easier to enjoy with the help of a supportive environment and collective experience. The Mindful Retreat offers an opportunity for us to take a break from our lives, taking time out from our daily routine and allowing ourselves the space to stop and reflect.
At The Mindful Retreat we aim to help you improve your technique and skill and give you the tools that are needed to keep informing you long after The Retreat has ended. We want you to feel that you have learned and practised in a creative nurturing environment and you have gained in confidence and ability therefore we limit the number of participants to insure one to one modifications and encouragement with over 16 hours of professional tuition held over four consecutive days. Please contact us for guidance and help at every stage of booking and partcipation.
