This day retreat is open to the Callanish community who have some background in mindfulness or insight meditation.

A day of silence gives us a chance to contemplate without intrusions of the outside world. And we rarely get a day of silence that provides an opportunity to further deepen and cultivate our practice or just to open a space for ourselves.

Throughout the day you will be guided in practices such as a body scan, sitting meditation, walking meditation and mindful movement.
