  • Heartspace - with Anne Overzee

    A series of retreat days during threshold times of the year to simply rest and ‘be’ amidst the natural beauty and changing seasons of Dartmoor.

    There will be a simple schedule based around periods of silent sitting and practices of the heart, as well as Kum Nye (Tibetan yoga) and/or walking meditation outside if possible.

    These days are open to everyone, including those on a life threshold. Sometimes coming together even briefly and sharing silence brings a deepening into felt connectedness and presence. Together we can co-create a space that includes the sacred, - and joy!

    Please bring your own lunch. Teas and coffee are provided.
