WHAT's NEW
Forest Bathing at The Global Retreat Centre
In the beautiful grounds of The Global Retreat Centre you can now try a new way of meditating. Forest bathing, or Shinrin-Yoku in Japanese, means to soak in the forest through all of your senses - to relax deeply and immerse yourself in the environment and allow the natural world to re-energise what is natural within yourself. It’s a beautiful, meditative experience that quietens the mind and can help reduce stress, improve concentration and increase wellbeing. To find out more and book your place, click here.

Go Giver
It’s been said that you cannot give away what you do not have. One of the most spiritual important insights or secrets in life is that you already have, and always have had, what you need to give away! If you impart the message that ‘I am not worthy’ the universe will send it straight back in many shapes, forms and circumstances. When we say ‘give me’ we are imparting this message. We are saying we think we need to get something to complete ourselves or prove our worth. Most of us are taught to live a life of gimmie gimmie gimmie – always striving, desiring, wanting, struggling. We do so only because we think that when we get what we want we will be fulfilled and esteemed by others. But it’s an illusion. We are all already complete and worthy but we cannot know it and experience it, until we give it away! Only giving allows us to know what we are and what we have within. Ask the question – how can I serve? The intention to serve will point you towards what you need to give. If the intention is real it also generates the will. The most successful people in life are not go getters, but go givers!
