Mindfulness Coaching and Courses

At the Sky Garden, Jackie offers a range of mindfulness coaching and courses. In the beautiful Hampshire countryside, in unique setting in a Grade II listed house on the edge of Odiham village (as praised by Ali Roff, Psychologies Magazine, Spring 2018; see psychologies.co.uk/how-mindfulness-will-transform-your-life) and in Morocco, in the fabulous World Heritage Site seaside town of Essaouira. in Hampshire Jackie offers one to one, hour long sessions, eight week one to one MBSR Course, and one day and one and a half day mindfulness retreat courses.

One to one coaching

One to one, hour long coaching sessions are available if you wish to explore the concept of mindfulness or attend to a specific problem in your life. It’s also available as a ‘maintenance tool’ following completion of the 8 week course (see below) and to help cement and deepen your practice. Sessions cost £70, payable in advance.

Introduction to mindfulness retreat in Odiham.

Groups are kept small to encourage an intimate experience, conducive to friendly discussion. In Odiham accommodation and breakfast is available to those choosing the one and a half day retreat. With the belief that a healthy life creates a healthy mind, I have a real passion for cooking delicious, locally sourced and home grown food that is both delicious and nourishing; the healing power of food is a huge part of the Sky Garden's approach to mindfulness.

You will have the opportunity to meet people who are also curious about mindfulness. You will practice short meditations and simple mindfulness exercises in an informal setting. There will be time spent as a group, learning mindfulness techniques, and also some time spent alone with which to practice and reflect. A delicious nutritious lunch will be provided and a chance to spend a relaxed day away from the bustle of life in a tranquil setting.

The aim of the courses is to help you begin to explore mindfulness and how you may apply it to your everyday life. Feel free to contact me with any questions. 

Please scan the calendar below to see the latest available mindfulness courses.

Restorative Company Away Days & Team Building

Mindfulness has had a big impact on the modern workplace and is implemented by some of the most successful companies around.  It is increasingly seen as an antidote to modern workplace issues and a way to promote positive wellbeing. 

The private Sky Garden Retreat offers bespoke corporate days, which are designed to bring people together in a unique and collaborative way.  Jackie explores introductory lessons on mindfulness which, when practiced regularly, can improve our working lives and bring stress reduction, collaboration, creativity and enhanced leadership.

The corporate retreat day is a way for teams to bond and recuperate and for companies to say thank you, especially at times of organisational change or after a big project is completed. The retreat day helps to develop team relations, away from the stress of work, in a Grade II listed house in the beautiful Hampshire countryside.  Relax in comfort and enjoy locally sourced and home grown nutritious lunch, that is both delicious and nourishing.

Easily accessible from London, the South West and Midlands, the picturesque Sky Garden Retreat in Hampshire offers a new approach to diverse and modern organisations keen to try something co-operative.  Contact Jackie to arrange dates.

All inclusive day from £185 per person*

*includes refreshments throughout the day & three-course home-cooked lunch. 
Group Sizes: Minimum: 4 people | Maximum: 8 people

Cancellations

Congratulations. When you make a commitment to join either a one to one course or a group event you are investing in your wellbeing. In order to make the most of this investment it is important that you complete the course or the event. In addition I plan group events to get the best balance of small groups of people attending, and if people back out then it can disrupt the event. My cancellation policy reflects this commitment from you and from me. So, cancellations made before or during group events are not refundable (except of course in exceptional circumstances, such as a medical emergency). And I have to reserve the right to cancel any group event if the numbers do not make it viable.  A full refund would be made in this instance.

For the 8 week MBSR one to one course (or other one to one events) payments are not refundable if you cancel all or part of the course. I am flexible in that we can plan and amend the timing and duration of your course, including if you need to reassess that during the course. However, whilst I endeavour to be flexible to suit your needs, I need a minimum of 48 hours notice to change a session. If you don’t attend a session without such notice, or give less than 48 hours notice, then you will need to rebook the session and incur a charge for a single session (ie £45) in order to be able to complete all 8 sessions.
