A note about fitness
Calm, clarity and relaxation
These are just some of the benefits of mindfulness, along with better concentration, greater enjoyment of life and improved relationship satisfaction. Join us for a weekend and discover mindfulness for yourself.
´Mindful´ is a term we seem to hear everywhere now. On these weekends we hope to demystify mindfulness. We will explore different mindfulness practices, how they can support you and how you can incorporate them into your daily life.
Why mindfulness in nature?
Spending time in nature has been shown to have positive effects on our physical and mental health. Practising mindfulness outdoors can enrich our experience. The (weekend) programme introduces mindfulness practices indoors and outside, with the themes of slowing down and reconnecting with ourselves in nature.

Your mindfulness teacher:
Kari Bø
Mindfulness teacher
Kari is concerned with putting the individual at the centre, and places great emphasis on creating safe groups which are a prerequisite for exploring life inwards and outwards. She thinks the abundant nature of Venabygdsfjellet gives us many opportunities to choose a conscious presence.
An important point
While mindfulness can support good mental health this weekend is not therapy. It may not be suitable for those who have recently/are receiving treatment for mental health issues or who have recently experienced major life events such as bereavement or loss.
