Deepening Mindfulness Weekend

20 September 2014 09:00 to 21 September 2014 16:30
Beshara School at the Chisholme Institute, Roberton, Hawick, TD9 7PH
Beshara School


An immersive two days of mindfulness practice and enquiry for people who have undergone introductory mindfulness training with the Beshara School and wish to deepen their practice. The two days will be spent with periods of silence, mindful meditation practices and contemplative enquiry.

If you have not done an introductory mindfulness course with the Beshara School, but have done one elsewhere and would like to join this course please get in touch. 

Accommodation and timetable: Both residential and non-residential option available for this course. The daily timetable for non-residents will run from 9am – 5pm on Saturday and 9 – 4.30pm on Sunday and includes lunch and refreshments.

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. Chisholme is roughly an hour’s drive away from Edinburgh, Newcastle and Carlisle, with a regular bus service from Edinburgh and Carlisle to Hawick, the nearest town.

Course Facilitators: Peter Young and Sara Hirtenstein

How to get there...

Cost: £70 non-residential, £130 with accommodation for 2 nights / £100 for 1 night accommodation (includes all meals).

Note on course fees: Concessions (£10 off) available for people working in the health, education and social sectors. Otherwise, there are no standard concessions offered on most courses, because the fees are already kept as low as possible. However, we do try to ensure the courses are accessible to those on low incomes, so please write to secretary@beshara.org to enquire about reduced course fees or bursary possibilities if you would find the cost of a course prohibitive.

To Book: Click on the 'Book your place' box at the top of this page. Alternatively, please write to secretary@beshara.org, or call +44 (0)1450 880215. 

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any queries.
