Introducing Silent Sunday Retreat With Dr Kamila Hortynska
The day will comprise of several guided mindfulness practices and other meditations flowing gently into one another. Carefully designed to help you come into the present moment, learn to be aware and mindful of your inner experiences with the attitude of non-judgement, self-kindness, and acceptance.
Each retreat is different, but the practices might include:
- mindfulness of breath
- mindful sitting with the sounds
- breathing space practice
- mindful walking
- mindful eating
- mindful stretching/ movement
- and mindful body scanning.
Other meditations that I often guide are:
- loving-kindness meditation
- appreciation & gratitude practice
- inner space & outer space practice
- golden light practice
- rose meditation.
Between the meditation practices I usually read inspiring quotes and poems. Sometime we meditate with background music and other times in silence broken only by bird songs from the garden.
At the beginning of the day we always spend a bit of time setting the intentions for the day and at the end of the day there will be time for reflections, questions and sharing of experiences for those who feel like it. There will also be some time for questions after lunch.
Other parts of the day will be silent to facilitate the deepening of our meditation practice and taking a real break from the business of everyday life. If your intention will be to really connect with your Inner Self, you will not need to interact with other participants.
What Other People Say About My Retreats
“The retreat gets 10 points. The space is safe and calm and truly beautiful. The host is wonderful. Kamila is truly in tune with people and herself. A real inspiration and a great light in my life’s journey. I loved the mirror exercise. I’d definitely recommend this retreat- inspiring, cathartic, hard but truly great!”
Lisa

Barry
“It was 10 out of 10. It has given me a chance to explore my thoughts and feeling, my highs and lows, and gave me a good look at my life. I enjoyed the people in the group and the empathy and connection I felt with you and them. I loved the dancing and the yoga too”
Suzi
“I found this retreat really helpful and it felt like a good continuation of the Happiness Course. The setting was wonderful and Kamila is a gifted facilitator. I that what I have learned and discovered can only advance my life further. I found ten movement exercises very powerful, and was unprepared for and overpowered by the cathartic outcome of them. Thank you! I also liked the chakra meditation!”

Why Silent Sunday Retreat? Is It Right For Me?
Everyone is welcome, no experience of mindfulness or meditation is necessary!
This retreat will be perfect for those who have an interest in mindfulness, or who are curious about meditation. It is a perfect taster before booking on a longer retreat or signing up for a meditation course.
Perhaps you have tried using a meditation app like Headspace or Calm and want to experience live practice with other people and a real teacher?
This retreat is also perfect for those who have been been meditating for a while, or perhaps have completed an 8 week course in the past, or may even be teaching it to clients and are simply looking for opportunities to practice with others in silence; to experience a deeper level of meditation through a continuous day practice.
