This 4 day and 3 night Mindfulness and Compassion Retreat with Fiona and Kathy suits both those with a meditation practice and complete beginners interested in mindfulness and compassion. It is also ideal for mindfulness teachers and trainees. Fiona and Kathy give full support.
This retreat will enable you to nourish yourself by experiencing stillness and self-connection in a remote hillside setting in an area of outstanding natural beauty on the Ox Mountains overlooking the countryside below Kesh Mountain and Knocknashee in the distance.
With a maximum of 12 participants, we will explore how to bring kindness and self-compassion into our lives so that we can live well. There is plenty of time to relax and renew without the need to communicate or ´do´ anything. For your comfort, chairs, meditation cushions, and blankets are provided.
The retreat includes spaciously guided sitting, standing, lying, mindful movement, Qi-Gong, and walking practices in the stunning local peat bog as we cultivate direct exploration of mindfulness and compassion.
There will also be times when we practice silence together, including a full day of silent practice on Sunday. All sessions are optional.
In the evening there will be the opportunity to relax with a Sound Bath (Gongs) practice gentle Qi Gong or learn how to dissolve tension and let go with Mindful Myofascial Release!
Nestled into the woodlands surrounding the Cabragh Lodge retreat centre, you will find our beautiful high-quality, passive-design two-bedroom Lodges.
Complete with heating, each bedroom has an ensuite shower, sink, and toilet, double bed (single occupancy), or twin beds (shared same-sex) fitted with high-quality sheets, towels, cozy duvets, and a hair dryer.
Each Lodge has a kitchen complete with a kettle, fridge, and selection of teas and coffee for those quiet times sitting on the balcony absorbing nature.
Guests comment on this unique, top-quality accommodation’s peaceful energy and delightful wood aroma.
It is our mission to serve you delicious home-cooked vegetarian meals, feeding not only your tummy but also your soul. Freshly baked biscuits, cake, fruit, tea, and coffee are provided for morning and afternoon breaks.
Where-ever possible, provisions are organic and locally sourced.
We limit our retreats to a maximum of 12 people so early booking is highly recommended to avoid disappointment.
Once your space is confirmed we ask for a 10% deposit, with the balance due 14 days before the retreat starts allowing you to spread the cost of the retreat. Of course, if you prefer to make a full payment at the time of booking, then that is OK too!
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Looking forward to welcoming you to the Cabragh Lodge.
Fiona
