This Guided Mindful Retreat is an Extended Weekend Event being run by The OPAL Foundation at:

The OPALCentre, Donamon, Co. Roscommon, Ireland

Friday 09th October to Sunday 11th October 2015

(Arrive for 5pm start on Friday & depart from 3pm on Sunday)

On this relaxing and re-energising retreat we will look at the benefits of using Mindfulness in our daily lives and how to live in harmony with life - whatever life brings. You will be introduced to, and have the opportunity to practice, both formal and informal Mindfulness processes including Mindfulness Meditation, Mindful Eating, Mindful Walking and 'Being' fully connected in the moment.

ABOUT THE RETREAT:

The retreat will combine guided sessions of teachings and practice along with periods of stillness for personal reflection. Whether you are new to Mindfulness, have never previously been on a retreat or someone who is more experienced, this weekend retreat is designed to accommodate your requirements.

There will be an optional free 'introduction' session between 3.30-4.30pm on Friday providing the opportunity for those who wish to attend an 'Introduction to Mindfulness' session.

Using a range of creative mindfulness processes plus guided meditation, instructional teaching sessions and periods of silent reflection, we will develop our ability to live in harmony with life – whatever life brings. No previous experience of Mindfulness or any other activities is required.

Although there will be periods of silence, this is not a totally silent retreat. Please contact OPAL for information on full Silent Retreats.
