Reflections Retreat, Little Hayes, Beaudesert Park, Cannock Wood WS15 4JJ, United Kingdom
The retreat is within, what was once, the grounds of a minor “stately home”, and is reached by a private road leading to the Beaudesert Park Camp for young people. Most SatNavs (but not all!) using the postcode WS15 4JJ will bring you onto that road where there are signs to the house; “Little Hayes and the Reflection Gardens” and “Reflections at Little Hayes” at the entrance to our drive. Please park using the marked spaces on the drive.
With Google maps, type in “Beaudesert Outdoor Activity” and you will pass Reflections Retreat on the left just before the destination.
Check your route before departure with these instructions, ensure that SatNav will take you to the correct location. If any issues use the directions of the main entrance to Beaudesert Camp as your guide.
By public transport The best way is to take the local bus 62 from either Lichfield City or Hednesford train stations. There is an hourly service; ask for the stop in Cannock Wood Village, Hayfield Hill, use Google Maps to navigate your way to the venue.
“I would recommend this day for anyone who is living a frantic life, feels like they are on a fast never-ending roller coaster ride and just wants to get off but not sure how to stop it. The venue for the day is perfect; within the grounds of Cannock Chase, beautifully tranquil, the speaker Adam; exudes peace and calm both of which sets the scene for the whole day. You will come away relaxed with a variety of Mindfulness meditation techniques to introduce you gently to understanding the beneficial effects of practicing mindful meditation and then it is up to you how you intend to use this awakened awareness and how you may wish to share this, this is not one to be kept as a secret.“
“If you are worried that a ‘retreat’ involved walking barefoot, chiming bells and vegetarianism then do not fear. Adam’s grounded approach shares the value of meditation for everyone. In a world that doesn’t stop the best thing that you can do is slow yourself down.”
