Matt is very professional, knowledgeable and a great listener. Matt allows you to explore how you feel in your own time without any pressure or judgement. Therapy was the best decision I made.

Here’s What People Are Saying About The Last Event

I could not have picked a more perfect first retreat experience.
In the beautiful Ferry Meadows country park, with a mix of rivers and lakes and tucked away in our super-sized tents, the beginners mindfulness programme was a perfect introduction to how mindfulness can bring benefits to anyone's life. Much time around the fire, talking or listening or singing (even I gave in to it) or just being. Supportive leaders, kind retreatants, delicious food, under the sun, storms and stars, it was all wonderfully grounding, gentle and insightful. A very beginner friendly retreat for anyone unsure and outdoor living beginner friendly with an excellent shower block, camp kitchen and spacious tents. Take me back to morning movement looking across that gorgeous view along Gunwald Lake.

Would definitely recommend this retreat
The retreat leader was kind and gentle in her approach and this supported me immensely in my first introduction to mindfulness. The food was divine!!! I would definitely recommend this retreat for anyone embarking on their first journey into mindful meditation.
