The Mindful Picnic

These intimate gatherings are designed to cultivate mindfulness and self-awareness using accessible, and practical techniques supported by science.  At our "Picnics," you’re invited to try a smorgasbord of snack-sized meditations to try different styles to experience their benefits. 

These sessions are enriched with local art and a little food and wine tasting, all set against the stunning natural backdrop of the Hunter Valley.  These initmate sessions are made up of just 10  participants, so you can enjoy a more personal experience.  

Embark on a Mindful Journey: What to Expect

In wet weather, our mini retreats take shelter on The Old Punt House’s inviting deck.
