Mindfulness Practice and Retreats

Retreats and mindfulness meditation practice offer an opportunity to step outside of our regular demands and immerse ourselves in “non-doing” to restore and renew our energy and also to explore and discover new insights and a new relationship with things as they are. This precious time can bring clarity about our relationships, our values and our projects so we can come back to our lives with new inspiration and vigour.

Online practice group | Sundays, weekly | 4.30 - 5.30 pm

Each week on Sundays, one of our marvellous teachers leads practice and discussion. This session is centred around a theme, and involves a movement practice, some stillness practice and then sharing and brief discussion.  It is great way to support your practice through connection with others who value this way of being in the world. This is even more important as we face the challenges of isolation and stress that might arise in the next few months. 

  • We love providing these practice sessions freely but if you feel to, do register with a CONTRIBUTION to support this work.

 **We are wanting to be inclusive, but the practice groups are not an introduction to mindfulness. If you have some experience and knowledge of practice you are welcome to join us or if you are doing MBSR and way to practice with others on a Sunday.  Otherwise, it may be better for you to take up the in-depth mindfulness training (MBSR) - especially if you are quite stressed or have anxiety, depression or pain.

Weekend Mindfulness Retreats | Deepening Insight

Join us for Deepening Insight, a transformative weekend retreat where we will take a deeper dive into what are called the 3 characteristics of existence. These can be summarised as impermanence (everything changes), suffering (life sucks and sings), and non-self (don’t take things personally).

In this immersive experience, we will explore how these fundamental truths can illuminate our everyday lives, helping us develop greater equanimity and freedom.  The retreat will be largely in silence, but with opportunities for interviews with the teacher, talks and discussions about our practice in the group. Through meditation, discussion, and mindful practice, you'll deepen your understanding of how to embrace change with ease, navigate life's challenges with clarity, and cultivate a deeper sense of peace and liberation.

Day of Mindfulness

Every three months Openground hosts a Day of Mindfulness, which as well as being an integral part of the MBSR course each term, is also available for past participants.

The quarterly Day of Mindfulness is an opportunity for people who have done the course, and the teachers of the course, to come together to spend a day practicing meditation. Over the course of the day, we will spend most of the time in silence, and some time sharing our experience. You will be led through various meditations including sitting, walking, and stretching. 

This day of meditation training provides time and space for focused practice which can refresh mindfulness skills and strengthen ongoing practice at home.
