This Mindfulness retreat explores what it means to come “Home” – to the direct experience of yourself and the feelings, thoughts and sensations in your body. This allows you to experience what it is like to be at home in the world and opens the possibility for a deeper and more intimate way of relating with yourself and the world.

Why do I sometimes feel separate from my life? Disconnected? Alone?

What would it be like to feel “inside my own skin”?
To live my life from ‘within’ the feelings and sensations in my body?
What – in me – gets in the way of meeting reality as it is?

This is an experiential retreat that will support you as you explore the above questions and your own personal obstacles to being present.
The retreat has periods of silent and movement meditation, as well as group sharing and enquiry. As a support to help us deepen our awareness, we will maintain silence in between sessions.
No experience of any movement practice or meditation is needed for you to benefit from this retreat.
