What this Retreat is Not
This is not a chit chat session. The idea of this retreat is to really enjoy exactly what you are experiencing. There is so much going on in this present moment, but we mostly miss out on what is happening ,because our minds are chattering or we need to talk to ease discomfort.
Your Host – Andrew Bamford
My name is Andrew Bamford. I am a lover of nature and simple living. I like to practice meditation daily as I believe it the ultimate tool for true living in the powerful present moment. This is my truth I want to share it with you on this peaceful retreat.
I welcome and encourage all to come and enjoy this liberating experience.
