This weekend course can be attended in isolation as a retreat OR as an introduction to our Level 1: Being Present Mindfulness course. After this weekend you can continue the Level 1 training if you choose – we have both in-person and online options to choose from.

Are you struggling to cope with your stress levels or find it hard to switch off at times? Do you think some extra tools to meet this would be helpful? This weekend in the peaceful surroundings of Samye Ling will give an opportunity to unwind in supportive company. We will offer a range of simple mindfulness practices that can be surprisingly effective. Of course, the circumstances that lead to feelings of tension and stress have their own causes and may be beyond our control. But we can learn to work with our attention in a deliberate way to switch out of our internal threat system into a more contented and connected place. We can also focus on dialling up our levels of appreciation and joy in the good things in our lives, and learn to sooth ourselves into a better quality of sleep.

The weekend is suitable for anyone who is new to mindfulness, or who has tasted the benefits of mindfulness before but would like to refresh and kickstart their practice again.
