About the Retreat

Rest, Reflect & Rejuvenate: Mon 1st January 2024
Begin the New Year with an uplifting retreat for the mind. Gen Lekma will explain and guide simple meditation techniques that will help calm your mind and leave you feeling happy, relaxed and positive. Engaging in a retreat will enable you to strengthen your meditation and give you the motivation for good habits in the new year.

Silent Retreat: Tue 2nd January 2024
The second day is a beginners silent retreat, which allows you to really disengage from the noise in life and discover how you can create real peace and space within your own mind.
Learning to make the mind calm and peaceful is one of the most beneficial and kind things you can do for yourself and others.

You will:

• Discover how meditation can help you find space and peace
• Experience the peaceful and positive feelings of a calm mind
• Feel relaxed and recharged for 2024

Start your year with some mental peace, some inner calm and a positive focus for 2024. Everyone is welcome – beginners and those with experience of meditation.
Sign up for both days or an individual day that suits your schedule.
