WOULD YOU LIKE TO DEEPEN YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF MEDITATION AND YOUR OWN MIND?

What if in a weekend you could learn beneficial skills and techniques to increase your happiness and fulfillment of life –

Would that help you?

Here at Skillful MIND we believe that meditation and yoga does help – in all areas of our chaotic lives. And with a wish to create a space to explore what inner peace really means for each of us, we’ve been hosting retreats since 2010 – bringing the ancient arts of meditation and yoga to every day people, just like you.

By attending one of our weekend retreats you’ll have the opportunity to learn solid techniques, that have proved the test of time, that help you cultivate your own inner peace practices in a safe and supportive environment.

All lessons are shared with you by teachers that also live in your world – who themselves juggle the challenges of balancing work, family, relationships and keeping up with changing technology and modern day life, and who know first hand the value of dedicating time to re-connecting with ourselves.

At Skillful MIND we aim to offer you a retreat that:

Provides a variety of down to earth teachings – suitable for everyday people living in a world of family, work and modern stresses

Presents with easy to understand language to help you grasp the concepts

Is suitable for anyone interested in learning about their mind body connection – whether you’re a beginner or have some experience

Has a great balance of theory and practise – giving you a solid foundation to build your own practice after retreat

Is complimentary to existing faith or beliefs

Teaches you a diverse range of take home techniques you can implement immediately

Gives you a supportive environment to explore yourself

Takes only a weekend – making it easier to fit it into your busy lifestyle

Take a journey into the foundations of meditation, designed especially for those who want to gain a deeper understanding of the benefits a meditation practice can bring.

Over the weekend Peter will share his down to earth, highly informative yet gentle meditation instructions. This Meditation Retreat is ideal if you are new to meditation, or still learning, but want to go beyond simple guided meditation.

By learning from techniques of the past you will master the basics, and gain a solid understanding of what meditation is, how it works, and how it can benefit your mind and body. Based solidly in the Buddhist tradition, yet free from religion, Peter brings his own modern style of logic and practicality to make meditation a part of your every day life.

You will learn techniques that people around the world have been using for over 2,500 years, and what to expect if you keep up meditation on a regular basis.

WHO WILL BE MY TEACHER?

Skillful MIND’s father and founder Peter Radcliffe will be your primary guide and meditation technique teacher. He’s traveled the world experiencing meditation in many forms, and his passion in life for sharing the peace that can be found through meditation is contagious.
