Highlights
Guided inquiry meditation for anxiety and emotional stress
Guided by Celia Roberts, founder of BIYOME

Details
"What you resist, persists." So much of our suffering comes not from what happens, but from the inner fight with it — the arguing, the bracing, the wishing things were different. This half-day retreat uses guided inquiry meditation to gently loosen that inner conflict. Rather than trying to fix or push away difficult thoughts and feelings, you'll learn to meet them with curiosity and acceptance — and discover how much lighter things become when the struggle softens. What you'll explore: • Guided inquiry for anxiety, emotional suffering and relationship stress • Working with resistance instead of against it • Changing your relationship to thought and experience • Practices for emotional freedom you can use every day This is one of BIYOME's monthly meditation retreats. It's open to everyone — beginners, regular meditators and BIYOME students (it also counts towards CPD06 and our 330/660/1000hr Meditation Teacher Training). Time: 9:30am – 12:30pm Teacher: Celia Roberts
