Together, we’ll explore how wisely facing difficulties and challenges can support us to meet uncertainty with hope and, how a wise sense of hope can inform our teaching and nourish our own practice. By letting go of habitual tendencies to fixate on particular outcomes, we can find an open-hearted quality that enables us to respond, rather than react, to life’s ups and downs.
Designed specifically for fully-trained mindfulness teachers, this session supports continued professional development and meets the British Association of Mindfulness-Based Approaches (BAMBA)’s Good Practice Guidelines by contributing toward annual retreat requirements.
If you’re a fully trained mindfulness teacher seeking to deepen your practice and meet your annual retreat requirements, we warmly invite you to join us for this Day of Practice.
Please note: This event is included, at no extra cost, as part of the Oxford Mindfulness Members’ Programme benefits for trained teachers.
If you’re a trained teacher, but aren’t currently a member, you’re still welcome to join by selecting the appropriate fee option at registration.
What to expect on this retreat
This six-hour session includes guided practices of up to 30 minutes in length, with extended periods of silence to support deeper reflection.
You’ll be invited to explore both movement and stillness, with guidance related to the day’s theme woven throughout.
To support your experience, we recommend preparing a quiet space and having what you need for lying down, movement, and sitting practices.
Two mindful breaks are included: one of 20 minutes and another of 45 minutes.
