The Mindfulness Based Stillness Meditation 4 Day Weekend Course is an opportunity for participants to dive deep into self in a safe and supported environment. Over three days of theory and guided meditation, we explore four steps: Preparation, Relaxation, Mindfulness and Stillness. This course is a gradual approach into Mindfulness Based Stillness Meditation led by Melissa Borich. 

The course includes:

• 3 nights accomodation in a tranquil setting — single and twin share options available.
• 9 delicious organic vegetarian meals — individual dietary requirements catered for.
• The four steps into Mindfulness Based Stillness Meditation: Preparation, Relaxation, Mindfulness into Stillness.
• A gentle daily yoga class focussing on releasing tension in tight areas and encouraging relaxation.
• Restorative Yoga postures, which encourage  Relaxation, Mindfulness moving into Stillness
• The atmosphere of a peaceful, private 80 acre property framed by trees and delightful views of mountain ranges.
• For a detailed outline of the four day course, please visit the purple Retreat Flow tab at page bottom. 

Having  your own direct experience of these practices encourages one to trust their own innate wisdom that you can then continue to develop and explore on a regular daily basis. This course offers and shows you ways in which to have your own direct experience of Mindfulness, Meditation and Yoga.

There is the scientific research readily available on the benefits of Mindfulness, Meditation and Yoga, uplifting to read, learn and absorb — and perhaps you have read quite broadly on these topics.

Over Melissa’s many years of teaching, this course has been shared with students  that are new to meditation but also experienced meditators.

It’s a course that meets one where they are at; accessible, informative and life changing for some. The course is an uncomplicated  way to learn how to meditate; exploring  various relaxation techniques; to create a formal committed daily practice; and to bring Mindfulness — both formal and informal — into your daily moments and interactions with your self and others.
