Summer Mindfulness Retreat
🌳 Need a space to practice Mindfulness with likeminded folx?
🌳 Want to learn more about embodied healing?
🌳 Craving a weekend dedicated to yourself and your needs?
The Rowan Tree UK includes practical exercises such as breathwork, grounding, and mindful movement in all of our training sessions. More people are becoming aware of how vital this work is for self-regulating stress, mood and energy, and finding balance in our daily lives. Embodied healing practices look beyond talking and thinking, aiming to find inner peace by becoming fully present in the moment.
It is important to us to provide an accessible and inclusive space for people to learn more about Mindfulness, and have a chance to try it out. We particularly welcome anyone with anxiety or apprehension about attending traditional meditation or yoga sessions.
The retreat will be facilitated by our founder, Sophie, who is a qualified ISVA (Independent Sexual Violence Survivors Advocate) and previously worked for Rape Crisis and Victim Support, and a former Trainer for Brook (Youth Relationships and Sex Education). She is also a former dancer and has been practicing yoga and meditation since 2021. She holds a certificate in Trauma-Informed Yoga Teacher Training (50h) from Yoga Hero in Leeds, accredited by the Yoga Alliance. She has been using a Mindfulness-based approach in all of her work since 2020.
