Welcoming all parts
- in your mindfulness practice
When: 30th January, 2021
With: Nique Murch and Timothea Goddard
In this retreat, Nique and Tim will lead practices and open up explorations of how to make a relationship with whatever arises in your practice. We all know the usual suspects that arise - distracted parts, dulling parts, agitated, irritated parts, sad parts and critical parts. These parts are often trying to get our attention, and even be healed, so avoidance or suppression don't work. Rather than going into battle with these parts of ourselves, there is a skilful way of opening up more relationship and understanding of them, so that they can relax and take up less space in our practice and our lives.
We want to be inclusive, but this day of practice will suit people with some experience and knowledge of mindfulness practice - for example like the learning that happens in an eight-week program. So if you have some experience of practice - do feel free to register (even if you haven't done MBSR, MBCT or MiCBT.) If you haven't done any mindfulness training yet, have a look at the MBSR page to find a course near you. This will be a better fit, than leaping into a retreat day.
Some feedback from our first online retreat:
"A week has gone by since your life-enhancing retreat. I am so impressed that you made it feel like a real retreat, with all the important elements, even the personal conversations. I love all your mindfulness of body practices which combine elements of other fine traditions to create a dynamic experience of moving and stretching, which the body adores. The whole day created a wonderful sense of peacefulness and spaciousness, in the midst of all that is happening globally."
"Gratitude Tim, and everyone, This is lovely. Feels very grounding, and the weirdness is offset by seeing your familiar face and hearing your voice."
"I got so much out of the day. I’m surprised myself. Once I got over the feeling of sadness of missing being in a retreat together with the warmth & connectedness that comes with that, I realised how much is the same - a warm and engaging host, great content, familiar teachings from my previous MBSR courses - there is a warmth and connectedness that comes with those things."
