12.30pm Friday 22 Sept to 3.30pm Sunday 24 September 2023
Centred around a weekend of Mindfulness, Meditations, deep Sound Relaxation, Rhythmic Drumming, Mindful Walks and healthy plant based food it’s a tried and tested experience that keeps people coming back. Even in the cold December evenings, our sound baths sessions at this location are always fully booked months in advance.
You will leave the weekend feeling re-grounded, re-energised and with a sense of calm from new Mindfulness skills that you can apply to everyday living and reduced adrenalin and cortisol levels from deep meditative waves of sound throughout the weekend.
What will happen over the three day retreat?
We will explore Mindfulness principles and practices where you will gain a better understanding of how our brains work and how Mindfulness can help us ‘respond’ rather than ‘react’ to life’s challenges. There will learn skills to calm down your chattering, busy mind in everyday life to help you develop more clarity, purpose and balance.
There will be seating and lying down meditations inside and outside of the yurt that will help to bring a sense of calm, and renewed focus. Whilst this is intended to be a weekend of relaxation we want you to leave with new skills that you can apply at work, home and in all types of situations and events. We also want to you to feel re-balanced, re-energised and with new life perspectives to help you gain greater appreciation for all the wonderful things that life offers.
There will be several deep relaxing Sound Baths with Himalayan Singing Bowls, Pure Quart Crystal Bowls, ancient Chinese Gongs, chimes, rain sticks, ocean drums and so much more.
Not only can sound baths bring about a deeper state of relaxation that can reap many mental and physical benefits, but the entire experience can provide nourishment and stimulation that can release stuck energy and improve quality of sleep and reduce anxiety levels. Some people describe the sound baths as ‘pure bliss’ especially when combined with nature and the open air (as will be the case over the weekend).

- Your bio and contact: Hello, I’m Ann Russell and I founded ‘Our Minds At Work’ in 2018 after achieving my Masters in Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction and Compassion at Coventry University in my 50s. My school days were not the most enjoyable for me; I lacked confidence and left with few qualifications, but I was always interested in people and what made them ‘tick’. I particularly enjoyed all areas of personal self-development, and since my 20s have read hundreds of books on the subject. I started my own self-development training company with holistic health, hair and beauty, and this proved to be a way I could overcome regrets about my poor school results. I co-hosted an ITV health and wellness TV programme in 2003 and was a guest speaker on GMTV, BBC and other TV stations, working with Mr Motivator, Denise Welch, Julia Carling and appearing with Aamon Homes, Esther Ranson and other celebrities – it was a very exciting time. I became a qualified Life & Executive Coach in 2001 and a Master Neuro Linguistic Programming Practitioner in 2002.
