Mini Retreat

A Mini Retreat is coming to Heath Village Barn on Sunday 15 November, a day set aside for slowing down and taking a bit of a breather. It's a retreat session held right here in Milton Keynes, and since it's a Sunday, it's one of those things you can ease into without having to worry about the Monday morning rush. If you've been feeling the weight of the last few months, this is a good place to put it down for a while.

The session is held at Heath Village Barn, on Eastern Way in Heath and Reach (LU7 0AA). It's a venue that sits a little way out from the city centre, which works in its favour — it's far enough from the noise that you can actually hear yourself think, but still easy enough to get to if you're coming from within MK. The barn itself is a quiet spot, and that's exactly the kind of setting a retreat needs to work.

As for what to expect, the day is built around the idea of a retreat: a dedicated block of time to step away from the usual grind and just be. It's a mini session rather than a full weekend, so it's a manageable way to get that feeling of a reset without needing to clear your entire calendar. It's the sort of thing that's easy to fit around your normal life, and it's open to anyone who feels like they could use a bit of quiet.

It runs on Sunday 15 November at Heath Village Barn, Eastern Way, Heath and Reach, LU7 0AA, and costs £28.
