Stillness & Renewal: A Winter Mindfulness Retreat

As we deepen our journey into winter, the season that calls us inward toward introspection and quiet reflection while the outer world simultaneously gathers pace, preparing for celebration and light. These contracting energies can bring a sense of unease or challenge, inviting us to draw on our resilience and inner steadiness.

Join us in community to rest with the stillness of winter, touching the quiet mystery and fertile darkness that this season brings.

Throughout this day of practice, we will deepen our sense of presence, creating space to deepen our connection with the breath and body. Through mindfulness practices, we’ll nurture our innate kindness and compassion —offering a gentle support to ourselves as we approach the holiday season.

Our practices will invite the mind to settle, the body to release tension, and the heart to find balance. We’ll connect with a deeper sense of self through a blend of practices including body scan, mindful sitting, walking in nature, and stillness.

Whether you are new to mindfulness or wishing to deepen your practice, this retreat offers a gentle space to welcome all that arises — resting in presence and renewal.

You are welcome to bring lunch to enjoy in the gardens or take a stroll around the many cafe in Stoneybatter.
