Hear FIRST about our retreats & events

So much thought has gone into finding a way to use technology, but not overuse it, with aspects of the day were offline, using downloadable audio and video. Although I was often in my garden, or indoors, yet really connected to the others in the group, the coordinators and teachers.

Retreats at Home are the perfect way to

• connect with a community of like-minded people
• have your voice heard in a supporting and nurturing environment
• deepen your practice at home

We're offering the same care, values and community support that we're known for - via our Retreats at Home.

Our online retreats are firmly grounded in all the principles of meditation, community and nature connection that we’ve been fostering for the last 40 years.

Only through our connectedness to others can we really know and enhance the self. And only through working on the self can we begin to enhance our connectedness to others

This 3-day retreat offers

• live teachings & guided practices, where you connect with a supportive retreat community and its skilled facilitators
• group sharing, building connections and empathy
• downloadable practices so you're not glued to a screen. And you can return to them again and again after the retreat finishes
• Mindful movement routines and practices such as qi-gong and yoga
• Talks, individual time and question-and-answer sessions with experienced meditation teachers
• Teachings on how mindfulness and self-compassion can help steady us through uncertain and challenging times
• the sense of being part of nature and the support of the Earth through daily nature connection practices

The retreat will take place online using the platform Zoom (see further information below to ensure you have the minimum tech requirements). Guidance will be sent at the point of booking for using Zoom as well as a guide to getting the best out of your home retreat. 

Is this retreat for me & how can I do this at home?

This retreat is for people who would like to connect with their practice in the supportive company of others. 

To get the most out of this retreat you will need a room in your home where you will not be distracted by other people and which can serve as a confidential space.

To join you will need to be fully available for the duration of the retreat (this helps create a greater sense of group coherence with less distraction for your fellow retreatants). This is a small group retreat with the expectation that you will attend from the start to the end.

The 3-day retreat will run from 5:30 pm on Thursday evening to 6 pm on Sunday evening.

Technical requirements

We will be using the online application Zoom to connect with each other during this retreat. To use Zoom you will need a computer or a phone with a speaker and camera. Full instructions will be sent with your welcome email at the point of booking. However you can also download the zoom app here to familiarise yourself with the application and to make sure it meets your system requirements.
