Mindfulness and Self-Compassion Silent Meditation Retreat

Our silent meditation retreats aim to provide you with an oasis of silence, comfort and calm, allowing you a breathing space to unplug, replenish and reset.

The 4-hour silent retreat is structured to allow you to immerse yourself in mindful compassionate presence.

Tina provides a gentle flow of led compassion-based mindfulness practices. Within this structure is the quite freedom to move in and out of the garden and the practices themselves as you need to ensure the morning meets your needs and is nourishing for your body, mind and heart.

Water bottle
Something for your own morning tea 🤗

Yoga mat, if you have one, pillow and rug to make yourself a comfortable nest
Anything else needed to consider walking in garden and meeting the weather forecast for the day
