About this Event
Hosted by James & Alex Wittering at our peaceful HQ on the river Avon, this nourishing day of SUP & mindfulness retreat will be all about you. With a real focus on wellbeing, this experience is designed to introduce you to the powerful combination of evidence based mindfulness practices with a fun (and inherently mindful) activity outside, close to nature in one of the UK's prettiest river locations.
We've packed this experience full of nourishment for your mind, your body and your tummy; a beginner friendly introduction to MBCT (Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy) teaching you effective stress busting, relationship boosting, insomnia quelling strategies in an experiential format, everything you need to confidently stand-up paddleboard (in a very-low pressure, anxiety friendly and super supportive small group) and a locally sourced, nourishing lunch from a renowned Cotswolds based foraging chef.
Most of what we learn about mindfulness during this retreat we take with us and integrate into our experience on the water. We'll take a mindful paddle together to the middle of nowhere for some quiet, reflective and resourcing time close to nature. There will be time to swim and even to practice taking your yoga moves onto a paddleboard.
This is a completely beginner-friendly retreat and all our activities will provide opportunities both for experienced yogis to deepen their practice and beginners to move at their own pace.
It's really about sharing some time together out on the water, developing a deeper insight into the ways that mindfulness, good food and connecting with nature and each other can resource us and make us better equipped to deal with the challenges of everyday life.
We all struggle in our own way; leave it all on the bank for a while.
