Writing & Mindfulness in Nature Mini Retreat,
Retreat Farm, Little Baddow,
Sunday July 7, 2-5pm; £59 / £69
We are excited to bring you this rejuvenating, inspiring half-day retreat during which we will explore how mindfulness, nature and landscape can enhance our writing and wellbeing.
At their heart, therapeutic writing (including journalling) and mindfulness are about paying attention and connecting to ourselves and the world around us.
Both practices can help us integrate our emotions and experiences, in turn enhancing our wellbeing and capacity for awareness and self-compassion.
This healing process is amplified when set in a safe, calming space where the natural world, and the calming effects of being surrounded by nature, can be sensed deeply.
Join experienced teachers Lucia Cockcroft and Rebecca Hardy for this friendly, relaxing half day retreat where we will connect with our bodies and immediate environment through somatic, sensory and writing practices.
There will be no expectation of previous experience of writing or mindfulness training though experienced writers and meditation practitioners are equally welcome! (There will also be no pressure to share your writing!).
The focus is on the process of writing and the therapeutic aspects of putting pen to paper, from the heart, rather than producing ‘perfect’ prose!
£59 early bird for bookings until May 31. See:
