Catherine will lead a variety of daily meditations, guided, walking and silent, to help us all get the most out of this amazing connection with ourselves and nature. Meditation has so many benefits, so whether you are an experienced meditator or a complete beginner, our daily meditation sessions will be of benefit to all. Meditation does not mean we will be spending hours cross-legged on a cushion! Instead, everything e do during the retreat will be done mindfully. This gives our bodies and minds the opportunity to experience everything to a deeper and more connected level. Common outcomes include a greater sense of calm, connection, reduced tension and an increased sense of purpose.
