This “Open the Heart and Still the Mind” weekend retreat, held in a nurturing and containing atmosphere of contemplative silence, will focus on strengthening our courageous presence, so that we can move beyond our habitual patterns of fear, judgement and self-doubt. This will release the energy, commitment and trust which are necessary for wise action and new beginnings. This silent retreat is suitable for beginners, as well as experienced practitioners.
In addition to sitting, standing and reclining meditations, our embodied awareness will be enhanced by daily sessions of the ancient movement meditation qigong (Chi Kung), optional yoga and aromatherapy massages, as well as silent walking meditations through the beautiful gardens of Temenos. There will also be time for restorative rest and short, individual sessions with Sue during the weekend. Delicious vegetarian/vegan food will be savoured in silence as part of our integrated practice. This retreat ends with lunch on Sunday 12th and includes free accommodation on Sunday night for those who would like to extend their stay on a self-retreat.
CPD accreditation: 15 General and 2 Ethics CEUs have been granted.
