Gentle Reset: Mindfulness & Meditation Retreat with Carolyn Budgell

Gentle Reset is a mindfulness and meditation retreat on Bowen Island, British Columbia, led by Carolyn Budgell at Nectar Yoga Retreat Center. It runs for three days and two nights, from Friday afternoon to Sunday morning, and is meant for anyone who wants a quiet, unhurried weekend away to rest and practice in a small group.

What to Expect

The weekend weaves together meditation, mindfulness, and breathing practices in a sequence that builds gently from one session to the next. The tradition is mindfulness meditation, offered at an easy pace. Mornings begin softly rather than early and urgently, and there is generous personal downtime between sessions, so the practice has room to settle.

The group is small and supportive, and Carolyn Budgell leads it throughout.

About Carolyn Budgell

Carolyn Budgell leads this mindfulness and meditation retreat on Bowen Island and guides the practices across the weekend.

The Setting

Nectar Yoga Retreat Center sits on Bowen Island, BC. Many of the sessions are held in the geodesic dome, a room with a fireplace and views out to the forest. Time spent there, and in the open hours between sessions, gives the weekend a sheltered, quiet character.

Before You Go

The listing does not set a required level of experience. The schedule is described as gentle, with soft mornings and open time between sessions, which suits people new to meditation as well as those with an established practice.
