Breathing Space runs a two-day retreat in the countryside teaching Mindfulness Based Approaches (MBAs) for preventing relapse into depression or addiction. These retreats are suitable both for newcomers to MBAs and for people who have completed a Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) course or Mindfulness Based Relapse Prevention (MRBP) course. They can help you learn in a more intensive way the practices and techniques you learnt on your course - helping you to stay well. Course dates and bookings
What happens at Breathing Space retreats
Breathing Space retreats are held at our beautiful retreat centre in the Suffolk countryside. They are for two days and two nights. There will be a balanced programme of activities including: led meditation - like the ones you learnt on your course; group discussions; walks in the countryside; as well as time to relax and get to know people from your course or other Breathing Space courses.
Travel, accommodation and food
We will provide transport to and from our retreat centre. The retreat centre is in a very quiet part of rural Suffolk, surrounded by gently rolling countryside. Accommodation is in shared rooms. The retreat centre has pleasant gardens, a pond and a purpose built meditation hall. All the rooms are centrally heated. All the food on the retreat is vegetarian. Our head cook is very talented and the food is very tasty!
