Information

​​You are welcome to join us for an online Day of mindfulness practice led by Erica Balfour this Sunday 1st December The retreat is offered freely but you are welcome to make a donation to the teacher.

​​​This retreat day is for anyone who is currently in the midst of or has completed one of our 8 Week Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) and Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) Courses or anyone who has a regular practice and attended a retreat.

​​​A retreat offers us an opportunity to set aside our usual tasks and responsibilities and take time to practice being present to the fullness of our experience.

​​​Aside from the guidance, we will be practicing mostly in silence so that we can create the space to allow us to go a little deeper than perhaps our usual mindfulness practice. We may see a little more clearly our reactivity, our patterns and practice bringing kindness and understanding to what we are discovering rather than our tendency to distract ourselves, criticise or attack ourselves. We invite awareness, presence and kindness to all of our experience, as best we can.

Erica Balfour

Mindfulness

Erica holds an MSc in Psychotherapy and is Co-Director of The Mindfulness Centre for Professional Training. She facilitates trauma-informed Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), and Mindful Communication courses for the general public, in workplace settings, and for organisations such as AWARE. Erica enjoys her work as a teacher trainer and supervisor, with accreditation in the MBI-TAC framework for assessing and supporting mindfulness-based teaching.


Psychotherapy

Erica supports clients navigating a range of challenges including anxiety, stress, depression, abuse, grief, and difficulties in family and relationships. She has particular experience and interest in working with trauma, ADHD, autism (including AuDHD), eco-anxiety, and eco-grief.

Her approach is integrative and flexible, drawing on Person-Centred Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and other modalities to meet the unique needs of each individual. Erica believes that therapy is not a one-size-fits-all process, and works collaboratively to find an approach that feels supportive and effective for each client.
