The Mindfulness and Compassion Retreats at the Cabragh Lodge suits both those with a meditation practice and complete beginners interested in mindfulness and compassion. It is also ideal for mindfulness teachers and trainees. Fiona McMahon gives full support.
The Cabragh Lodge retreats will enable you to nourish yourself by experiencing stillness and self-connection in a remote hillside setting in an area of outstanding natural beauty on the Ox Mountains overlooking the countryside below Kesh Mountain and Knocknashee in the distance.
Early booking is highly recommended
Contact Fiona today to reserve your space!
Once confirmed and so that you can spread the cost of the retreat, we ask for a 10% deposit, with the balance due two weeks before the retreat starts.
What to expect
With a maximum of 12 participants, Fiona will help you explore how to bring kindness and self-compassion into your life so that you can live well. There is plenty of time to relax and renew without the need to communicate or ´do´ anything. For your comfort, chairs, meditation cushions, and blankets are provided.
The Cabragh Lodge retreats include spaciously guided sitting, standing, lying, mindful movement, and walking practices in the stunning local moor area as we cultivate direct exploration of mindfulness and compassion.
There will also be times when we practice silence together, and some retreats include either a half or a full day of silent practice. All sessions are optional.
In the evenings there is the opportunity to relax with a Sound Bath (Gongs) practice gentle mindful movement or learn how to dissolve tension and let go with Mindful Myofascial Release!
