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.
​
Myths, stories & legends shape us individually and culturally in ways that are both obvious & subtle.
You are invited to join together in the land of Bards to explore the stories we hear, & the ones we tell ourselves.
Over the weekend you will have the opportunity to take part in:
• Morning movement, sauna & dip sessions
• Guided meditations & mythic visualisation
• Music, sound & dance as storytelling
• Creating & walking a medicine wheel
• Mindfulness in nature
• Evening meditations & stories
• Fire ceremony to release old stories
• Journaling activities to start your new story
• Celebrating our inner creative selves
• Enjoying nourishing home-cooked meals & snacks
You will have the chance to reflect on which stories support you to grow and flourish, and which are no longer true for you - if they ever were. And all in beautiful & comfortable surroundings overlooking the stunning Carmarthenshire countryside.
This is a rare opportunity to rest, replenish & rediscover what is meaningful for you within a supportive, & nurturing environment with time for fun, shared laughter & companionship.
