“I only went out for a walk and finally concluded to stay out till sundown, for going out, I found, was really going in.” (John Muir, 1938)

Join me on a journey into awareness on this full-day mindfulness retreat as we walk and meditate in the valley and hills of Melin-y-Wig, near Corwen, in this lesser-travelled part of Denbighshire. My mindful retreat walks combine mindfulness meditation & mindful walking with the power of connecting with ourselves, nature & each other. Practising meditation outdoors increases our connection to & appreciation of nature, ourselves, each other & the planet and reduces stress, building up resilience & re-connecting us with our inner resources. Guests will feel rejuvenated, invigorated & inspired, rediscovering their innate ability to connect deeply with themselves, others, nature & their direct moment-to-moment experience.

As we explore this corner of Denbighshire, you’ll learn simple meditation techniques, connecting with nature via each of the senses. We will be walking, each in our own space, connected as a group moving through the hillside, practising each meditation & coming together to share our experiences at each stage. Guests will be warmly welcomed & at ease with my calm, reassuring manner, my passion for & experience of practising & teaching mindfulness meditation, embodied movement & walking in the outdoors, along with my local knowledge & enthusiasm for this beautiful area.
