Day Retreat: Awakening Awareness

‘Mindfulness is not simply about noticing in a passive way, when we connect to our true nature of present moment awareness we are tuning into the natural creative force from which creativity and renewal emerge’ 

Awakening Creativity and Renewal 

This Mindfulness Retreat Day draws inspiration from the themes of Imbolc, the ancient Celtic festival celebrating renewal, creativity, and the return of light. Often when we speak of ‘mindfulness’ or ‘awareness’ it is interpreted as a kind of dull passivity where we are simply letting everything wash over us. Instead of seeing it this way we can recognise that awareness is the natural creative force from which all new actions are born, when we tune into the moment and ourselves we are tuning into the possibilities of a new beginning, to the potentialities of the moment that are beyond the limited ways we conceive ourselves. Rooted in the energy of the season, this day retreat explores awareness as a natural creative force, connecting the cycles of nature with our own capacity for growth and expression. Through guided meditations, nature-based practices, and creative workshops, participants are invited to deepen their awareness of the natural world and discover how mindfulness can spark inspiration and transformation.
