Testimonials for Sandrine’s retreat days

​

“A wonderful experience all round – lovely venue” June 2019

 

“The retreat day was a great experience and I will definitely be booking myself onto another in the near future. I found being silent brought total stillness and self care which never happens much in day to day life with the constant chaos that surrounds us” June 2019

 

“The retreat day was the culmination of the practices that had been introduced over the previous weeks. The opportunity to immerse myself in a full day of mindfulness was a real treat and gave me the confidence to continue the journey on my own. Sandrine is a fantastic tutor and her calm and relaxed approach made everyone at ease and feel truly engaged”. 2018

 

“I’ve always wanted to do a retreat but thought and felt awkward – however my experience today has been enlightening and most encouraging for future practices – calm and peace and felt totally natural. Juliet 2018

 

“Thank you for creating a wonderful environment and day and for facilitating this so well – Much appreciated Sandrine” Ash

“Loved the inclusive feel. Very nurturing” 2018

 

“If you feel under stress from modern living, whether it be from outside pressures or inner ones in your private life, then this retreat will give you space to take a breath and regain your balance. The feeling of freedom from spending most of the day in silence is surprising; one relaxes without the pressure of social interaction.

 

Being guided to drop down into oneself in meditation of the body and the breath, as well as learning how to enable random thoughts to flow out of the mind, gives you a skill which is essential for living each day more calmly, with greater awareness of yourself and your environment.

 

There are a variety of ‘activities’ too, such as walking with full awareness, as if one is walking for the first time. Also, there is a walk outside, when the natural world is observed with heightened awareness. At the end of the day there is an informal discussion in which participants may talk over their experiences.

 

And for this retreat you could not find a better mentor and guide than Sandrine Cranswick who enables you to find a state of space and calm that is both refreshing and essential”. Peter 2018
