Description
The OMC 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 in a grounded, steady, and authentic way, with openness, friendly curiosity, and kindness.
If you are enrolled on a teacher training pathway outside of the OMC, you are welcome on this retreat if you meet all the entry criteria.
This retreat is open to trained teachers of mindfulness-based programmes and meets the requirements of the Good Practice Guidelines for an annual personal retreat.
It is also open to non-teachers who meet the entry criteria and wish to deepen their personal practice.
