Mindfulness & Paddle Boarding Day Retreat in East Lothian, Scotland
£135pp
Welcome to your Mindfulness and SUP Day Retreat.
Begin your day at Ocean Vertical HQ — a beautifully restored 200-year-old Victorian stables nestled in the heart of John Muir Country Park, East Lothian.
Your morning session is a gentle, revitalising 90-minute mindfulness workshop led by our own qualified Mindfulness Practitioner. Grounded in the stunning natural surroundings of John Muir Country Park, this workshop explores the ways in which mindfulness and meditation can become anchors to nature and personal wellbeing in everyday life.
You’ll leave with a deeper understanding of what mindfulness can offer you day to day — practical techniques, relaxation practices and tools you can carry with you long after the retreat ends.
No previous experience of mindfulness or meditation is needed. This session is open
to everyone, wherever you’re starting from.
