Introducing Marie
Marie is now a regular and extremely popular addition to many of our Day Retreats and Workshops. Marie will join us on the September retreat. She takes some of the meditations and leads one of the groups for nature meditations and mindful walks.
Marie has been teaching meditation since 2020 and has had a dedicated daily practice since 2017. She will take some of the meditations and activities.
Marie runs group classes in Beckenham and 1-2-1 mentoring and meditation, both online and in person.
Marie is a Mother to two girls (aged 3 and 1). Nurturing growth and encouraging the personal development of individuals runs through every aspect of my life. Before children, Marie was a copywriter, blogger, and social media manager. She has experienced burnout, stress, and many challenging life situations and has an intimate first-hand understanding of life's demands can take their toll.
Marie says about mindful living: "Discovering mindfulness meditation is the best thing that ever happened to me. It helped me bloom like a flower being watered after a severe period of drought. Having gone from stressed and depressed to calm and connected, I am now passionate about helping people on their own path to mindful living."
