Disconnect from the distractions of everyday life to refresh, revive and reconnect with our mindfulness day retreat at beautiful Stanton Guildhouse.

• The day will start with a gentle mindfulness Yoga session and finish, at the end of the day, with a Yoga Nidra meditation led by Aston Colley. The main sessions will make use of the inside space but- weather permitting we may also be outside on the lawns with views over the Cotswolds countryside.
• Mindful ceramics session in the studio sculpting clay from resident Potter Claire Watson
• Relaxed en plein air (outdoor) sketching to appreciate and capture the nature around you with Rachael Thorogood

Through quiet contemplation, art and very gentle movement we are able to tune into our senses and the present moment, to notice what’s going on in our bodies and minds. This retreat day will allow you to pause, slow down and enter the “being” realm, so when you go back to “doing” you will feel refreshed and revived, with more clarity. The retreat will offer the opportunity for silent meditation and reflection- including over lunch, if you choose.

Aston Colley will be leading the day as well as the Yoga and Meditation. Aston is a fully qualified yoga and meditation teacher (BWY), fully qualified Yoga Nidra Teacher (Satyananda) and Oxford Director of Mindfulness and Psychotherapist (HPD).

The retreat will be taking place at the stunning Stanton Guildhouse, a 10 minute drive from Broadway.

We will provide attendees with more details of the day in advance and what you’ll need to bring. This will include your own yoga mat, a blanket and lunch. Drinks and light refreshments will be provided.
