Online Mindfulness Series
Regular gentle mindfulness practice has been proven to reduce stress, encourage self compassion and inner wellbeing.
Following on from the success of our online events during lockdown and our evolving mindfulness retreat experiences in Charentes, we are curating a series of guided sessions online throughout 2024. Our aim is to create space where you can connect with yourself and with others in a warm, nourishing atmosphere...
Our mindfulness events will be held around the four Celtic festivals of Imbolc, Bealtaine, Lughnasa and Samhain. They will provide an opportunity to come together, to pause mindfully, and become more attuned to mind, body and spirit. This regular, guided approach to inner calm goes a long way to reducing stress and dealing with the challenges of our daily lives more mindfully.
Moving through 2024 mindfully...
We began the year with "A Month of Mindfulness" online and marked St. Brigid's Day and Imbolc on the 1st of February, midway between the winter solstice and the spring equinox. We will continue to connect throughout 2024 as we mark the changing of the seasons and our four Celtic festivals.
Marking Bealtaine
The next Celtic festival is 'Bealtaine' on the 1st of May. In pagan tradition, this marked the start of the pastoral summer season, when livestock were driven out to the summer pastures. Rituals were held at that time to protect them from harm, both natural and supernatural. And our ritual will be to gather on the evening of the 1st of May for a special session marking this important moment in the Celtic calendar. Full details to follow...
A Month of Mindfulness in June
We will continue our practice through the month of June, gathering with focus on a variety of gentle mindful practices including an introduction to mindfulness, awareness of breath, self-compassion and setting an intention. Each session will also involve meditation, some writing exercises, and a variety of stillness and movement sequences (yoga mat / blanket on flat surface recommended), standing and walking practices, plus posture advice to help you build on and get the most out of your mindfulness toolkit.
As we gather together through the month of June, we will cultivate our capacity to be more mindful day to day, and more present to ourselves and to others.
