Using nature as inspiration and anchor, the Wee Retreat's mindfulness taster will cultivate embodied presence in the present moment. There will be opportunities to move, be in stillness, and explore the breath and senses. If the weather allows, we will practice outdoors in the beautiful Hidden Gardens, and if not, indoors. This event is part of HAS Glasgow Day.
