Body Like a Mountain Retreat – arriving the afternoon of Wednesday 4^th June and leaving on the morning of Tuesday 10^th June 2025

Cost £385.00 plus accommodation and travel

This retreat is taking place on Holy Isle off the Isle of Arran in Scotland and will be led by Heather Regan-Addis, with contributions from Choden and Alan Hughes. The theme of the retreat will be the body like a mountain practice, as a way into resting in awareness in the natural environment. With the mountains of Arran before us, we will ground into our posture, connecting with the Earth beneath us, using our senses and the natural environment around us. We will open to the vastness of the mind like the sky, allowing mental activity to unfold itself like the weather, imbued with the light of kindness from the ever-present sun. The retreat will include practice sessions, a daily teaching session on resting in awareness with opportunities for sharing. We will be making the most of the natural environment around us with options for mindful walking, movement, poetry and sitting in the open air (weather permitting). The retreat will include periods of silence and will qualify as a CPD retreat for teacher listing with BAMBA. PLACES ARE LIMITED TO 15 PARTICIPANTS.
