Mindfulness mini-retreat - Emotions and You

Bring yourself, and perhaps a friend, a yoga mat, cushion and blanket, but you can leave your mind at home :)

This mini-retreat afternoon, part of a series of six themed events, is set in a nature reserve (with indoor space) which is enchanting, tucked away conveniently located in a South London suburb.

Saturday 3 June's theme is: Emotions and You, nurture yourself and discover how emotions flow in your life.

Each mini-retreat always includes at least half an hour guided meditation and typically a combination of at least five of the following:

• Grounding exercises
• Breathing and very gentle stretching exercises (not yoga), suitable for all abilities.
• Unlimited herbal tea to enjoy during the retreat.
• Personal reflection, journaling time.
• Incense (Sage)
• A themed reflective group topic with an invitation to share or equally you're welcome to just listen.
• Musical based meditation
• Humming meditation
• Reconnecting with nature exercise
• A deeply relaxing guided meditation.
• An opportunity to be in silence or connect with likeminded other people.

All mini-retreats are gentle boosts for your wellbeing. The main intension of these events is for you to enjoy some me-time and positively step away from the daily hustle and bustle.

Afterwards you may feel:

• reflective
• re-energised
• clarity
• blissful
• relaxed
• mentally lighter
• in harmony

You are welcome from 1 pm to settle in, enjoy a selection of (herbal) tea and take a stroll through this lovely space, breath in nature and gently unwind.

At 1:30pm we will start with introductions.

Tickets can only be booked online (or via [email protected] for the reduced fee). We regret that there are no ticket sales on the door.

We welcome everyone and offer a limited number free or subsidised (£5) spaces for Lewisham resident's who are experiencing financial or emotional hardship. To enquire, please contact our friendly team via: [email protected]

The session is suitable if you have reduced mobility, though the paths in the nature reserve may be a challenge to navigate when you use a walking aid.

Please note that this is not a mental health support event, but a Mindfulness and relaxation afternoon.

• Please wear something comfortable.
• Please bring your own mat/thick socks/a warm sweater/cushion/blanket as unfortunately we don't have spares available.
• Chairs are available if preferred.
