Life As It Is 2021, a Family Friendly Community Retreat

Life as it is.

A Community retreat- families and children welcome.

Friday 13th to Sunday 15th August.

In these times of rapid change, what is the most beneficial action we can take for others, our planet and ourselves? Where do we turn for a sense of true refuge and support? How do we do this in the midst of our lives?

This weekend we will come together as a community of practice, to slow down and return to the knowing of our interconnection with this earth and all things. By practising in this way, we open the opportunity to access a deep unshakable sense of support, wisdom and compassion for Life as it is.

We will spend time as a Community exploring this Earth and the living creatures and plants above and below. There will be time for group and individual meditation practice, periods of silence and child focused activities.
