Who is the Cabragh Lodge Retreat for?
The Spring 2025 Mindfulness and Compassion Retreat at the Cabragh Lodge in February suits both those with a meditation practice and complete beginners interested in mindfulness and compassion. It is also ideal for mindfulness teachers and trainees. Kathy Ward and Fiona McMahon give full support.
What to expect:
With a maximum of 12 participants, there is plenty of time to relax and renew without the need to communicate or ´do´ anything, as well as explore how we can bring more kindness and self-compassion into our lives. The retreat includes spaciously guided sitting, standing, lying, mindful movement, Qi-Gong, 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, including a full day of silent practice on Sunday. All sessions are optional.
Every evening there will be the opportunity to relax with a Sound Bath (Gongs) or Qi Gong gentle movement sessions.
This retreat 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. This is also the perfect place to sit on your balcony and enjoy the picturesque countryside and the abundance of wild nature.
