As the last of Autumns colours release their place in Nature, we will gather into the quiet space and energy left behind, and rest into the approaching deep stillness of Winter. This is our opportunity to put down the burden of the busy pace of life and re-align with the soft, unfolding of the earth’s energy as it restores and replenishes deep in its roots. We will take comfort and sustenance from Natures slow approach, and nourish and support our well being with mindful meditations and practices that reflect and echo the rhythm from all around us.

 

We will take time and space in Hellens to feel the timeless holding of presence, and have time to explore the beauty of the garden and grounds.

​

​This day will be a silent retreat, with the mindful invitation to become present in a contemplative and kindly approach, helping nourish and refresh our sense of wellbeing.

 

We are not stepping out of our life, rather stepping into whatever arises in the moment, giving ourselves compassionate and generous attention, allowing an unfolding into presence, in a supportive and kindly environment.

 

There will be a number of lying, sitting and movement meditation practices, with time to reflect and rest, to absorb and be, in a supportive and warm environment.

 

Teas and coffees will be available all day and we will have a light, wholesome lunch such as soup and bread and fruit. We will have tea and cake at the end of the day.
