Retreat: Deepening and Extending the Foundations of Mindfulness: Exploring Relational Mindfulness and the Fourth Foundation (in-person)

October 17, 2025 @ 4:00 pm - October 22, 2025 @ 12:30 pm BST

£1254

What’s involved?

A residential retreat provides a wonderful opportunity to practice in a sustained way, supported by the community of fellow participants and the silent atmosphere of retreat. The framework of this retreat will be an overview of some key aspects of the Fourth Foundation of Mindfulness, such as the ‘Seven Factors of Awakening’ (mindfulness, investigation, energy, joy, calm, concentration, equanimity). We will explore their practical relevance for both meditation and daily life practice. There will be a particular emphasis on how our practice can support relational mindfulness within the network of social interactions in our lives.

Whilst these teachings and practices have their roots in Buddhist psychology, the themes, teaching, practice guidance and explorations will be presented in terms of their application to mainstream mindfulness programmes such as MBSR and MBCT.

The retreat will include:

periods of both guided and self-directed practice
short talks and time for questions/inquiry
sustained periods of silence to enable participants to connect more fully with their inner experience
time to practice mindfulness informally between the scheduled sessions
opportunities for group inquiries with the teachers.
The teachers will also be available to talk to people individually as needed.

Who is the retreat for?

This retreat is suitable for people who have attended an eight-week MBSR/MBCT (or similar) course and who have a personal practice of mindfulness. It is open to anyone who meets these requirements and is particularly intended for people who teach or are training to teach Mindfulness Based Programmes and others who are integrating mindfulness into their professional work.

This retreat will enable mindfulness teachers who wish to be included on the BAMBA Listing of Mindfulness Teachers to fulfill the requirement to attend an annual mindfulness retreat. It also fulfils the TTP retreat requirement at Trained Teacher level.
