Cotswold Day Retreat - Deeper Mindfulness

Thursday 3rd September 2026
Facilitator: Aston Colley
In Person – Cotswold Day Retreat – “Deeper Mindfulness”
10.00 – 17.00
Cost: £85

Most of our modern stress and exhaustion begins long before we are even aware of it. Join us for a nourishing, deeply experiential day-retreat at the beautiful Guildhouse, Stanton, where we explore the hidden pathways of the body, brain, and heart.


Drawing on the groundbreaking neurobiology of Antonio Damasio, the heart-centered wisdom of cardiologist Dr. Jonathan Fisher, and the somatic movement principles of Pete Blackaby, we will dive into Professor Mark Williams’ latest work on Deeper Mindfulness. Together, we will learn to catch our automatic stress reactions frame-by-frame by tuning into the body’s subtle ‘feeling tones’ (vedanā). Through gentle, exploratory yoga, reflective inquiry, and a deep, restorative Yoga Nidra, you will step off the treadmill of reactivity and back into a state of authentic, wholehearted steadiness.
