Description

The OMF Online 5-day  retreat is led by experienced Retreat Leaders with a deep knowledge of mindfulness and mindfulness-based programmes. It includes guided practice, talks, individual and group meetings, and substantial periods of silence, and is designed to deepen experiential understanding of mindfulness through sustained practice.

For mindfulness teachers, it cultivates the ability to teach MBCT curricula in a grounded, steady, and authentic way, with openness, friendly curiosity, and kindness.
