Mindfulness Retreat   1st – 4th  March

It seems that demands on most of us are increasing, the pace of life is accelerating and the levels of uncertainty band stress undiminished. We recognize the challenge of becoming quiet in a world addicted to movement and noise, and it is so very easy to be swept up in that movement without even recognizing it.

Dr Simon Whitesman and Linda Kantor will be holding a 3 day mindfulness retreat in the beautiful Temenos gardens with the intention of restoring ourselves through stillness, relaxation and delighting in nature, all through the lens of mindful attention. The Retreat will be open both to MBSR graduates and anyone with an interest in the practice of mindfulness.

CONTEMPLATIVE EASTER RETREAT  5th – 8th April

Father Michael Fish writes ‘During this Holy Week retreat you are invited to let the Master wash your feet, break bread and lead you into silence, speak to you of suffering, call you to the Sabbath, open your eyes and make your heart burn within you.

We will use the simple beauty of the Triduum liturgy as well as silence and daily reflections to enable Christ to easter us.’

Father Michael Fish, who is a monk  at the  Camaldolese monastery on the Big Sur in California, will be especially visiting Temenos to lead this retreat.

TEMENOS SILENT RETREAT  23rd – 27th April

A time to embrace silence, simplicity and solitude. For the course of the Retreat our gardens are closed to the public creating a monastic milieu in which to gently reflect, meditate and rest. Optional early morning silent walks are available as well as guided stillness meditation for those who are not accustomed to silent meditation.  You are also invited to a daily gentle Yoga session.
