Compassion Retreat-Mindfulness Graduates

Service Description

Nurture and deepen your meditation practice with a nourishing day of guided mindfulness practices especially focussed on kindness and compassion. This day of practice is an opportunity to care for ourselves by creating quiet time and space to practice. We will spend much of the day in silence, as you are led in meditations and other practices. The day is intended as a way for graduates of an 8-week programme (MBSR/ MBSR) to maintain and deepen their practice. If you have not attended an 8-week course but are interested in attending please contact Kate to explore if the session is a good fit for you. I will guide us in a range of practices ranging from 10 to 40 minutes and share poems and readings to inspire and support reflection on our theme for the day. Our day will start at 10.30am (CET). There will be a 15 minute break in the morning and an hour break for lunch around 1.00pm (CET). There will also be opportunity to reflect on your experiences at the end of day. It would be helpful to have space to practice all the meditations we are familiar with: body scan, standing and lying yoga, sitting and walking. It can also be helpful to have some blankets and cushions near to support your comfort. Dress in loose and comfortable clothes and layers are also helpful so you can adjust your temperature. To support your practice, create as quiet a space as you are able to for the practice day. If it is possible, pre-arrange breaks and lunch so you can keep interaction with others in your household to a minimum. Everyone’s circumstances are different so just do what you can and what is right for you and your household. This is an opportunity to deepen your mindfulness practice, with the support of a group of others working in the same way. It is also a time to discover the effect of being in silence in a group. I encourage you to see the day as a time to be with yourself in a nurturing way.
