Retreats
PAUSE. BREATHE. REST.
SLOW. BREATHE. BE.
A retreat with Simply Mindful is an opportunity to step away from the busyness of everyday life and make space to simply be.
Guided by our experienced teachers, our retreats offer time for meditation, reflection, deep rest and connection.
Our retreats vary in length and format, from half-day and full-day retreats to longer residential retreats. Whatever the format, they offer an opportunity to reconnect with what is most meaningful, rest deeply and explore your practice in a supportive environment.
“Just making that length of time for oneself, in silence and not being distracted by phone, computers and life in general was in itself important and unique for me.”
“I found it very rewarding.

Thank you Megan for the day and for a professionally run program.”
“The practice was mixed up into movement and sitting, including outdoor practice, rather than just one or the other. When I felt like I was near reaching the end of my capacity to stay still, it always happened that we had break time or we were going into movement.
Being able to experience and move through the challenges encountered in meditation was rewarding, as I felt proud to get through the whole day.
Most importantly, experiencing in my body and mind some of the connection, joy, warmth, curiosity, and equanimity that can be cultivated through meditation just further motivates me to commit more deeply to continuing my practice.”
“Fantastic experience. Really well organised weekend retreat in the insight tradition. Megan was a fantastic teacher. Highly recommend this retreat to other meditators.”
What to expect from a Simply Mindful retreat
Retreats are held at our peaceful urban retreat centre, the Gathering Place, unless otherwise noted.
You will be invited to immerse yourself in practice, with periods of sitting and walking meditation, mindful movement, reflection and rest.
At the end of the retreat, our teachers provide a gentle transition out of silence so that you re-enter your ordinary life feeling calm and grounded.
