Mindfulness
Mindfulness is at the heart of Lucy’s practice and her retreats. Mindfulness is when you have an intention to focus your attention on what is going on internally – your thoughts, emotions, and sensations, as well as externally in the world around you, in the present moment, and without making any value judgments.
It has its roots in the teachings of Buddha as an awareness of your thoughts, actions, and motivations. Mindfulness is something that is intrinsic to yoga, meditation, and the Alexander technique.
A retreat usually begins with an afternoon session on arrival day and ends after brunch on the final day.
