The Evidence For...
This popular online workshop series is an opportunity to examine the latest evidence from researchers and neuroscientists.
​
​Each workshop follows a theme such as how mindfulness improves sleep, or how compassion increases emotional resilience as we explore the science and try some short practices within the context of the latest data.
​
We look at how the evolution of the brain has sometimes caused difficulty for us, and how to harness brain function to our advantage.

Retreat Weekend:
Writing Our Own Story
Join us for this exciting weekend at The Golden Grove Retreat Centre, Carmarthenshire.
​
We tell ourselves stories all the time; stories about the past, what might happen in the future, and what type of person we are. The problem is that often these stories are created from other people's truths and ideas, as well as our own truths from a much younger and less wise version of ourselves.
​
This retreat is an opportunity to fully immerse yourself in the beautiful surroundings of the centre with the invitation to examine our stories & re-write a more helpful & true narrative which will support us going forward.
Using a combination of practices including guided meditations, mindful movement (Qigong Shibashi), sound & drumming, a Medicine Wheel healing workshop, mindful walking / forest bathing, storytelling & writing, we will explore archetypes, myths & stories and discover what they mean for us today. Saturday evening will include the invitation to hear stories around the fire followed by a fire ceremony to release old patterns & welcome new ones. If the weather
is not suitable an indoor ceremony will be offered.
