Would that help you?

Here at Skillful MIND we believe that meditation and yoga does help – in all areas of our chaotic lives. And with a wish to create a space to explore what inner peace really means for each of us, we’ve been hosting retreats since 2010 – bringing the ancient arts of meditation and yoga to every day people, just like you.

Evidence

The evidence is in: Mainstream science is now proving in study after study how meditation and yoga can change our brains – for the better, releasing us from stress, anxiety, depression, and many other modern day maladies that seem to increase with our technologies and luxuries of today.

By attending one of our weekend retreats you’ll have the opportunity to learn solid techniques, that have proved the test of time, that help you cultivate your own inner peace practices in a safe and supportive environment.

All lessons are shared with you by teachers that also live in your world – who themselves juggle the challenges of balancing work, family, relationships and keeping up with changing technology and modern day life, and who know first hand the value of dedicating time to re-connecting with ourselves.

COULD YOU BENEFIT FROM A WEEKEND ESCAPE THAT GIVES YOU SOME SPACE TO RE-CONNECT WITH YOU?

At Skillful MIND we aim to offer you a retreat that:

  • Provides a variety of down to earth teachings – suitable for everyday people living in a world of family, work and modern stresses
  • Presents with easy to understand language to help you grasp the concepts
  • Is suitable for anyone interested in learning about their mind body connection – whether you’re a beginner or have some experience
  • Has a great balance of theory and practise – giving you a solid foundation to build your own practice after retreat
  • Is complimentary to existing faith or beliefs
  • Teaches you a diverse range of take home techniques you can implement immediately
  • Gives you a supportive environment to explore yourself
  • Takes only a weekend – making it easier to fit it into your busy lifestyle

BUT LIVES IN YOUR KIND OF WORLD WITH THE PRESSURES OF KIDS, WORK AND NORMAL STRESSES OF EVERYDAY LIFE?

Peter Radcliffe has traveled the world learning the ancient art of meditation, and his passion is to share it – and help as many people as he can love the lives they live.

Take a journey into the foundations of meditation, designed especially for those who want to gain a deeper understanding of the benefits a meditation practice can bring.

Over the weekend Peter will share his down to earth, highly informative yet gentle meditation instructions. This Meditation Retreat is ideal if you are new to meditation, or still learning, but want to go beyond simple guided meditation.

By learning from techniques of the past you will master the basics, and gain a solid understanding of what meditation is, how it works, and how it can benefit your mind and body. Based solidly in the Buddhist tradition, yet free from religion, Peter brings his own modern style of logic and practicality to make meditation a part of your every day life.

You will learn techniques that people around the world have been using for over 2,500 years, and what to expect if you keep up meditation on a regular basis.

IF YOU WANT THE SOLID FOUNDATIONS TO BEGIN, OR FURTHER, YOUR OWN SUCCESSFUL MEDITATION PRACTICE THAT WILL ENHANCE YOUR LIFE, THIS RETREAT IS FOR YOU!

There is nothing greater in this life than one’s own peace, and control, of mind –  would this be of value to you?

PLUS, WOULD YOU BE INTERESTED IN BECOMING A MEDITATION LEADER?

WHY A RETREAT?

A Retreat allows you time to focus on understanding, and re-connecting with yourself, in a supportive environment free from day to day distractions, in the company of like-minded people. In this atmosphere it is common for people to progress much faster than through weekly lessons, or on their own.

A RETREAT IS NOT A HOLIDAY – IT’S AN ADVENTURE OF SPIRIT!

In today’s world we don’t often make ourselves a priority – forgetting that to be able to offer strength, love and happiness to others we must first cultivate it within. A retreat is a commitment to connect with your best self, a commitment to a live a life you love.

WHAT’S THE FOOD LIKE?

2 words – Simply Delicious!

Skillful MIND retreat attendees rave about the food while on retreat – the only complaint is that there’s too much yummy goodness!

The menu has been designed as healthy and wholesome in a home cooked style. It’s simple but is full of flavour and you body will thank you for the nourishment. See top right for a link to sample menus. Our venues are also happy to cater for Lactose/Gluten Free, Vegetarian, Vegan or any special dietary requirements you may have.

Please note: while on retreat we recommend you choose the vegetarian option (if you are not already). This gives your digestion time to also have a break, and in many philosophies it’s said that a meat free diet is more conducive to a meditation and yoga practice. Vegetarian can be chosen in dietary requirements when booking .
