Beshara School at the Chisholme Institute, Roberton, Hawick, TD9 7PH
Beshara School

 

Have you heard of mindfulness and wondered what it is? Could it be something that is useful to you?

Come and find out about some of the core principles and practices of mindfulness. The Beshara School is offering a FREE TASTER DAY at its Retreat Centre at Chisholme House, in the heart of the Scottish Borders.

Mindfulness can be defined as paying attention to our moment by moment experience – in other words, to be fully present and aware in the present moment – without judgment or preference. It helps you to accept and understand who you are, so your can live your life fully, rather than enduring or escaping it.

Based both on Buddhist teachings, and recent research in Neuroscience, modern mindfulness is a secular movement, which uses language free of religious or spiritual reference. It is bringing wisdom, insight and practices to many fields including healthcare and stress reduction, benefitting hundreds of thousands of people worldwide.

A free mindfulness taster day will be held on Saturday 3rd of May, from 10.15 to 4.30.

Lunch is provided - please leave a donation towards the cost of it

The courses are open to all. The taster day will introduce core principles and practices, all of which are explored in more depth on a course of  3 weekend modules in June, July and August. Read more about the course here.   

The location is Chisholme House, a beautiful, secluded estate on the edge of open moorland, deep in the hills of the Scottish Borders. Its spacious grounds, comfortable facilities and attention to detail provide the perfect environment for contemplative practice. It is roughly an hour’s drive from Edinburgh, Newcastle and Carlisle, with a regular bus service from Edinburgh and Carlisle to Hawick, the nearest town.

Beshara School: For those whose focus is self discovery, these courses are fully integrated with the School’s wider programme of courses in self-knowledge in the light of our essential unity with the whole of life.
