SUMMARY:13 - 15 Nov 2026 | Courageous & Joyful New Beginnings with Sue Cooper
DESCRIPTION:This silent Open the Heart & Still the Mind weekend retreat will explore ways in which we can discover the courage within ourselves to live wholeheartedly and authentically\, especially through times of change and transition. It offers an optional 3rd night for a deeper immersion\, ending with breakfast on Monday morning. \nThrough the emotional containment of silence and meditation\, we will ground ourselves more fully and open-heartedly in the present moment\, creating a foundation of trust and inner peace. As we integrate our pain and suffering\, we will discover the joy that comes from connecting bravely to ourselves and to life with more kindness\, compassion and discerning wisdom. This creates the conditions for joyful and courageous new beginnings. \nThis retreat includes teachings from the wisdom of Buddhist psychology\, guided meditations in all postures and time for silent walking meditations through the beautiful gardens of Temenos. The ancient practice of qigong movement meditation\, as well as optional embodied movement classes and relaxing 60 min aromatherapy massages\, will enhance our embodied experience. There will also be time for restorative rest and short\, individual sessions with Sue during the retreat. Delicious vegetarian/vegan food will be savoured in silence as part of our integrated practice.
