Overview

I thoroughly recommend it. I've booked up for two more! A very well-organised and excellent home retreat experience. Thank you Sharpham Trust

This 1-day Retreat at Home can help support and nourish you as you face new challenges and uncertainties.This mindfulness retreat offers support from experienced meditators. You'll be held in supportive community, connecting with each other and sharing experiences.

"I found the online 1-day retreat inspirational, calming and it definitely had the touch of the 'Sharpham magic' that we all crave in these strange times.

There will be a maximum of 15 people on this retreat with opportunities for smaller group sharing. 

The retreat will take place online using the platform Zoom (see further information below to ensure you have the minimum tech requirements). We'll send out guidance for using Zoom when you book and a guide to getting the best out of your Retreat at Home. 

This retreat is for you if:

  • Want connection to a supportive and nurturing community of fellow retreatants
  • Teaching and guided meditation sessions from experienced and compassionate coordinators
  • Ways to use mindfulness and self-compassion to stay steady in uncertain and challenging times

What is Mindfulness?

What you'll experience on this retreat:

Schedule

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.

I have just completed the Sharpham online retreat led by Will and Miquel - such an amazing experience and strong sense of community amongst everyone who was present. I would strongly recommend this weekend

At the weekend I attended the 1 day retreat at home. It was a beautiful experience and Barry held the group with loving care. It was on zoom but it didn’t stop me feeling connected to others in the group. I intend to do this retreat again, as well as one at Sharpham soon. Thanks Sharpham
