I hope 2024 has started well for you and this email finds you happy and in good health!
This email will share two new updates with you:
1) A new residential Silent Retreat will launch this year in Surrey!
2) The New Mindspace Term is starting this Saturday
1) A new residential Silent Retreat launch this September in Surrey
After many requests for a residential, silent meditation retreat, the search is over and the time has finally arrived – you’ll be pleased to know the perfect venue has appeared!
A site, far from the madding crowd, that has been used for prayer since the 7th Century. The Franciscan Centre where your retreat will take place is situated on the grounds of Ladywell Convent in Guildford, Surrey.
A place designed for quiet, rest, stillness and reflection. Your stay will be carefully designed for a deep and profound experience of Meditation, within a historical venue that has just recently updated and modernised all its facilities.
The first three day silent retreat is entitled, Find your Inner Peace, from Monday 2nd September – 4th September. On Tuesday the theme will be Blue Sky Mind and Wednesday, Ocean Waves.
The entire experience will be in silence. Why? To allow you to go deeper and Find Your Inner Peace. Experience shows that when you engage in Silent Retreat you are empowering yourself to go deeper into your mind.
Don’t expect a TV with Netflix, but enough comfort so your stay will be restful and memorable. If you can’t make the three days you can come down for a day or two day trip. For more information to book please click here.
2) The New Mindspace Term is starting this Saturday
The next Mindspace+ course will be Moonlight Meditation and it commences this Saturday 27th January for eight weeks. From 10am-11am GMT. This course will explore Meditations to help us both cool and inspire our mind, and provide us with the opportunity to engage in deep and relaxing Meditation.
This term will be a hybrid offering, allowing you to enjoy the Mindspace winter term from the warmth of your home via Zoom; there will be eight online sessions on Saturday mornings, concluding with an in-person retreat in Edgbaston on March 24th on Sunday afternoon. Find out all about this new term and offering here.
For those who are now wondering about when the next in-person sessions will be, there are some retreats available in early Spring and the full in-person term in all local venues across the West Midland and online, will commence after Easter with a new Mindspace+ course entitled, Guide to the Relaxed Way of Life. Thanks for your patience and hope you can benefit from the online sessions over the next few months.
Wishing you a wonderful 2024 and hope to see you soon at one of the classes or retreats.
Warm regards
Adam Dacey
