Mindful ways to less stress and more kindness in challenging times

Central to our day retreat will be a showing of the highly acclaimed film 'Walk with Me'. It features world famous Vietnamese Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh and the community of 'Plum Village' that he set up. The film is an insightful reflection on the pursuit of happiness through living in the present moment and is a welcome remedy for attachment to material things, and the stresses of life in a world in turmoil.
Three highly experienced mindfulness tutors - Brian Turnbull, Karen Baird and Sue Horsburgh - will guide us on our journey through the mindfulness and compassion meditations.

About the meditations:
- 'Safe place' meditation creates an emotional sanctuary in the mind that we can return to whenever we are needing a boost of feeling safe and secure.
- 'Circle of Friends' meditation empowers us with the good qualities we admire in others and enables us to recognise that we already have these qualities within us and can use them in staying strong, courageous and kind in the face of difficulty.
- 'Rejoicing' meditation trains the heart to naturally become fulfilled by appreciating the good fortune of others rather than contracting in envy.
