Wake Up Smiling ~ Beginners Meditation Retreat

About the Retreat

Even though we wish to be happy each and every day of our life, our mind can be habitually trapped in narrow, uninspired, often-negative ways of thinking. Such thoughts leave us feeling tired, dissatisfied and wondering whether this is all that life has to offer.

On this one-day beginners retreat learn effective meditations that enable you to greet each day feeling positive and inspired. Discover how it is possible to turn every encounter into an opportunity to deepen your appreciation of life and the people around you.
