Movement, Mindfulness and Meditation for Mental Health
With Stacey Steele Yoga & Andy of Painting Sounds
The Day
Join Stacey Steele Yoga and Andy of Painting Sounds for this coastal day retreat, centred around mental health.
This retreat takes place on World Mental Health Day, an annual day to remind us of the importance of prioritising and investing in our own mental wellbeing.
Join us as we explore gentle movement, indulge in mindfulness activities, delve into meditation, soak up the sea air and soften into a soundbath relaxation. Leave feeling restored and with a toolbox of mental health practices to use at home.

Pastel Meditation
An opportunity to embrace the freedom of creativity.
Be guided on how to use pastels in a meditative way to help you process thoughts and emotions.
Yoga Nidra Soundscape
A deeply restorative guided meditation practice that brings you to the edge of sleep while you (aim to) stay awake.
Simply sit or lay back, close your eyes and follow the voice and other therapeutic sounds for deep relaxation.
Mindful Walk & Beach Meditation
Take a mindful stroll through the castle grounds and down to the beach.
Listen to the waves, feel the sand, blow away the cobwebs and take part in an outdoor meditation practice by the sea.
Soundbath Relaxation
Soundbaths are a fantastic addition to your mental wellbeing toolbox. Simply lay/sit back and allow the sounds of gongs, singing bowls, steel drums and percussion to take you to a dream like state where you can begin to regulate blood pressure, improve sleep, aid relaxation, manage pain and help process difficult emotions without lifting a finger.
