In the town of Spalding is a rather splendid building privately owned called The Sessions House. It is the former town courthouse. They have some fabulous rooms but my favourite by far is the library and it is here I shall be running monthly small groups for In Real Life meet ups. I have called it a Monthly Reset as my intention is for it to help you put your brakes on and sit with yourselves.

Our first one took place this month and we not only valued the meditation but the connection and chat with each other afterwards. So in future I will bring along some coaching/ journal prompts for everyone too. The group will only be six so booking in advance will be essential.

For those of you that don’t know me I am a qualified meditation teacher with The British School of Meditation. I have my own meditation regular practice.

Love & hugs,

Ironically if we maintain our well-being then we cope better with what life throws at us. However other things can take priority. You can’t pour from an empty cup though.

As a Well-being Coach I do everything I can to walk the walk, not just talk the talk. So I do a lot of positive things for my well-being but things still sneak up on me. So the opportunities to take stock and really reflect are not always available. Holidays are great but the reality of a holiday is someone still has to organise or cook or placate any family conflict, to name a few. The opportunity to dig deep and really work on oneself can be minimal. This is where retreats come in to the picture……..

For me a retreat is an opportunity to do the inner work, release what no longer serves me, connect with nature and be truly held. My personal growth is often huge, I can get massive shifts or learnings when I have this space. The person or people running the retreat are equally important for me to get the most benefit so I have to feel safe and supported. I have attended anything from day retreats to week long ones over the years.

The benefits do not just remain mine though. My Hubster and kids love the chilled person I come back as and it is maintainable if I stay on that path.

Research supports this; comparing having a holiday to attending retreats found that a retreat provided longer-term biological change like taking an anti viral, than a holiday.

I have not run a retreat since the Pandemic but I do have plans. Do join my newsletter if you want to know about them first.

Love & hugs,
