Come and join us between 1st and 3rd of March 2024 for a weekend (2 nights) Nepali-themed mindfulness and well-being retreat. Attendance is by donation and is £150 for the weekend and will be on a first come, first served basis. There is enough space for 15 attendees (plus 2 trustees and yoga instructor). Please be aware, you will be sharing 4 bedrooms with your fellow weekenders.
We will have exclusive assess to Jordans YHA in Buckinghamshire, just 5 miles from the London Underground. It is also handy for Legoland Windsor, the Harry Potter Studio Tour. "YHA Jordans is a traditional, single storey wooden cabin which has a characterful interior and cosy wood burning stove. This property is perfect for those looking for a quiet, countryside retreat with family and friends."

The weekend (Itinerary subject to change) will consist of yoga, meditation, and walking, all with a Nepali flavour. The yoga will be based around the philosophy of selfless service, which fits with our charity ethos. We are hoping to start with an early morning yoga session, then after people return from their walk or day-time activities, there will be a post-walk/pre-dinner stretch followed by an evening meditation/relaxation session. (all optional of course). Yoga and meditation will be brought to us by our wonderful friend Sally Kennedy and New Futures Nepal trustees will be on hand to join you on a local 6-8 mile walk. Sally (a long-term friend and supporter of New Futures Nepal) is a Chartered Physiotherapist and British Wheel of Yoga teacher, drawing on many years of experience with a variety of teachers from different yoga traditions.
The weekend will be fully self-catered, but we will be on hand to produce some Nepali style meals over the weekend for a donation (it would be great for people to contribute ingredients or lend a hand). The main meal on the Saturday (all going to plan) will be from a local authentic restaurant.
