Transformative Mindfulness & Meditation Weekend Retreat in the English Countryside

The Now Project's Mindfulness, Meditation, Sound Healing & Yoga retreat offers a comprehensive immersion into the art of present-moment awareness. Unlike learning from books or lectures, this experience is designed to help you directly encounter and embody mindfulness — to feel what it's like when the mental chatter finally quiets and you can simply be at peace.

The retreat philosophy centres on the understanding that mindfulness isn't a theory to grasp intellectually but a state of being to experience directly. Through a carefully crafted programme of meditation, yoga, Chi Kung (moving meditation), sound healing baths, and profound teachings on emotional mastery, you'll discover how to switch off your problems, worries, and head dramas and reconnect with the deep, authentic you beneath it all.

What makes this retreat truly special is the team of experienced practitioners who will guide you throughout. These aren't just instructors — they're individuals who have used mindfulness to overcome their own significant challenges with addiction, depression, and anxiety, and who now dedicate their lives to helping others find the same freedom. Their presence creates a field of mindfulness that supports your own practice even between formal sessions.

The teachings draw from multiple traditions including the approach of the late Master Thich Nhat Hanh, combining ancient wisdom with a modern, plain-talking style that makes these profound practices accessible to everyone. You'll learn practical techniques you can immediately apply to everyday life — from mindful walking and eating to managing difficult emotions without being overwhelmed by them.

Set in Burwell House, a stunning late 18th-century stately home surrounded by three acres of landscaped gardens, the environment itself supports your inner journey. The combination of natural beauty, nourishing food, and community creates the perfect conditions for genuine transformation.

With over 14 years of experience and more than 120 retreats completed, this programme has helped thousands of people discover a fundamentally better way of living. Guests return time and again, drawn by the life-changing emotional clearing meditations and the ongoing support of The Now Project community.
