What happens during the sessions?
Each of the sessions last for one hour and a quarter. We will talk a little about the attitudes of mindfulness and reflect on how our minds, emotions, thoughts and body sensations all interact with one another. We will explore the benefits of being present and aware in the moment, comparing this to what happens when we’re living life on auto pilot.
Each session will have 2 meditations within it. These are guided meditations during which we attempt to hold our attention on a chosen focus. In doing so, we find both moments of stillness, as well as really getting to see and understand how unruly our minds are, and the effect this has on our wellbeing. These meditations help to exercise our mental ability to stay present with ‘what is’, rather than rambling off into the future or reminiscing/regretting the past.
There’s also encouragement and resources to help you to continue your practice during the week, both of meditation and other mindful exercises.
The aim of mindfulness is to help us stay aware and non-judgemental in the present moment. To bring more awareness to our mental patterns and help us to let them go and for us to be able to get the most out of our lives and relationships.
Retreats
Next retreat: Saturday 10th June 2023 @ St Mary's Church, Innox Hill, Frome

I've started offering affordable day retreats in Frome, Somerset at St Mary's Church, Innox Hill. These retreats are a chance to leave your life behind and get some breathing space for a day as we find stillness & presence, grounding in the here and now. Some experience of meditation and mindfulness is required.
The day will have moments of silence, moments of talking or listening, moments of connecting with nature, moments of reflection and a safe feeling of community togetherness.
All refreshments will be provided and we will end the day with a delicious shared meal.
I have so many ideas of how to add an interesting and exciting spin on a mini retreat and can’t wait to give people the space and tools to ground, unwind, refresh and enliven themselves in the now!
A few concessionary places are available. Please get in touch to discuss: mindfulnesstom@gmail.com
