After finishing a Breathworks course in Greater Manchester, there are opportunities to get together with other Breathworks "graduates" and keep up the practices you have learned

Refresher Day Retreats

From time to time we run refresher day retreats open to all graduates of the Living Well with Pain and Illness programme. These are relaxed days with the chance to engage deeply with all the practices, spend informal time together and share experiences of following the Breathworks programme.

Day retreat: Full cost £100, concessionary low waged £50, state benefits or equivalent £30.  (Prices include lunch). To secure a place on the day retreats you need to secure a booking with a £15 non-refundable deposit.

The next day retreat will be held at Manchester Buddhist Centre in Autumn 2010 and the date will be added when finalised. For more information contact the Breathworks office - This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it or 0161 834 1110.
