Times and dates - Next retreat day Feb 2021
I'm currently teaching day retreats exclusively online until it is safe to return to the dance floor.
Staying home - Taking refuge
"We spend our life fishing only to find it wasn’t fish we are after”
Thoreau
What is it we really want?
This period of extended lockdowns and calls to stay at home seems an ideal time to look at what home could be.
Has there ever been and will there ever be another time where we are encouraged to go nowhere in our lifetimes?
It seems such a privilege to be warm and in the quiet and able to practice.
Would you like to join me?
Today we will explore ways to come home to love, to awareness and in truth.
We will practice guided by the teachings of Tara Brach, Gabrielle Roth and Open Floor
£45 / 35 concessions
Whilst moving, the camera can be on or off depending on what feels most nourishing to you.
The meditation and playlist are yours to keep and practice with.
We will meet on zoom to practice together.
The group will be limited to about 15 people.

Past retreat days
Sunday, 3 January 2021 from 11:00 -18:00
There are only a few spaces available
Online event
On this day retreat we will meditate, move, and enquire in to the realms of formless presence.
Practicing here can bring the gifts of aliveness, creativity, universal love and the flow of wisdom according to the teachings which seems a wonderful way to enter the new year!
How can we undo the identification with thoughts, emotions and feelings that keeps us landlocked and unable to trust and live from our naturally loving and radiant essence?
When we stop resisting we start opening and a whole new potential arises.
We will practice guided by the teachings of Tara Brach, Gabrielle Roth and Open Floor
I hope you will join me.
“Landlocked in Fur” ~ by Tukaram
I was meditating with my cat the other day and all of a sudden she shouted, “What happened?!”
I knew exactly what she meant, but encouraged her to say more – feeling that if she got it all out on the table she would sleep better that night.
So I responded, “Tell me more, dear,” and she soulfully meowed:
“Well, I was mingled with the sky. I was comets whizzing here and there. I was suns in heat, hell - I was galaxies. But now look-I am landlocked in fur.”
To this I said, ”I know exactly what you mean.”
What to say about conversation between mystics?
