Retreats

• Those who are new to our Retreat Days and wish to explore the Practice of Mindfulness and Meditation, to help with Calming the Mind with Rest and Relaxation.
• Anyone familiar with meditative practices and may have worked with Lynsey previously.
• Mindfulness students and those teaching or training in Mindfulness (MBSR/MBCT).

The practice programmes are teacher-led, presented by Lynsey and complimented by our Affiliate Teachers who will expertly guide you through a wonderful day of Mindfulness.

Retreat days can be expensive to run, but we wish to keep our low cost impact approach for as long as we can. We need to ensure we cover outgoing costs, which as we all know seem to be escalating by the moment!
