Wisdom & Wellbeing Week 8 Intensive with Loch Kelly

Effortless Mindfulness Embodied

During Week 8 you will have an in-depth workshop with Loch Kelly. Enjoy a rich schedule with classes during the day and head to the beach in your free time.

Effortless mindfulness embodied is an advanced yet simple form of “off the cushion meditation in action”. This retreat is for those who are resonant with Loch’s synthesis of glimpsing, psychological integration and dyad practices. Awakening is available as the next natural stage of human development. In this advanced experiential workshop we will learn tools to access our effortless, awake loving nature as we relate to others and nature.
