Take the opportunity to spend time away from the pressures of the world, take a step back from your daily routine and spend time in a protected space; guided by an experienced facilitator. This retreat will give you the opportunity to deepen your meditation practice, to wake up to this one precious life you have and to spend time prioritising your health and well-being.

I have been coming to Holy Isle to attend retreats as a participant and to teach, each year for over 15 years now. Holy Isle is my favourite retreat centre and holds a special place in my heart. Prepare to connect deeply with yourself and to ground yourself in the beauty of nature.

What will we do on retreat? We will follow a schedule that will include the following:

  • Progressive meditation practices
  • Mind science teaching sessions
  • Energising and restorative yoga
  • Breath work to unblock and balance the nervous system
  • Periods of silence and contemplation
  • Reflective writing
  • Walks in nature
