This 3-night Open the Heart & Still the Mind Compassion Retreat is held in containing and replenishing Noble Silence and is suitable for beginners as well as experienced practitioners. Inspired by the wisdom of the Dharma and an integration of Buddhist and western psychology, we will cultivate mindfulness and compassion practices which calm the nervous system and help integrate body, heart and mind, to Create a Safe & Nourishing Home Within.

As we learn to rest and to listen more compassionately to ourselves in shared silence, we will find our quiet centre and build more trust in our authentic, open-hearted presence. This allows us to make wiser choices and to end the relentless cycles of fear-driven reactivity and self-abandonment. The Open the Heart – Still the Mind retreat includes silent and guided meditations in all postures, poetry and inspiring teachings, daily Chi Kung, gentle walks in nature, time for journaling and deeply replenishing rest. Sue will also offer short, individual sessions throughout the retreat for additional, individual containment and emotional support.
