Listen to Jo be interviewed on the Self Care Club Podcast with Lauren Mishcon and Nicole Goodman. This podcast describes itself as part reality, part experiment, testing out self-care, so you don’t have to.
In November, Lauren and Nicole joined Jo on a silent retreat day and this interview reveals all. Have a listen if you are curious about what to expect on a silent retreat!
Then come and join a morning of quiet mindfulness practice, fully guided by me. There will be a combination of sitting meditation, walking practice, mindful eating, movement practice and sensory awareness.
The day is designed to be a mini-retreat, and a small proportion of it will be in silence, with time for reflection and sharing at the end.
Here is a testimony from a recent silent retreat day participant:
"Thank you Jo, it really was a wonderful experience and you are a brilliant facilitator, so gentle and positive and sensitive 🙏❤️." SC
Please feel free to arrange a free call with me to ask any questions before you book. HERE.
Are you in need of some quiet space, away from the to-do list and daily demands on you?

Mini Silent Retreat
This day is designed for people who have some meditation practice already, whether from doing a mindfulness course, using apps or just your own daily practice. It is also for you if your practice has lapsed and you want to get back into it! The day is designed to be a mini-retreat, and we will spend most of it in silence. You will be guided in various mindfulness practices, including some that you may not have practiced before and there will be time for reflection and sharing.
Here is a testimony from a recent silent retreat day participant:

Discovery Call
"Jo’s passion for mindfulness is compelling. Jo teaches her subject with passion and enthusiasm. Throughout the course she instructs us how to live more mindfully and in the present but also prompts us to come to your own conclusions about areas of our lives that we live on auto pilot and that we are not even aware that we do it. This course has fundamentally changed the way I view various aspects of my life!"
~ Lynne
"I really enjoyed the session and felt like I came away feeling relaxed and yet energised!"
~ Carla
"Just to let you know, you were amazing! I didn't know what to expect. I love the fact that you are so genuine and real, not pretending to be perfect after using the mindfulness sessions, your voice is calming and you are very nice and likable."
~ Helen
"The knowledge was invaluable, all info supplied was very clear. Sessions always started and ended on time, always open to everyone's experiences and listened attentively to all. Jo has helped make mindfulness a part of my life."
~ Laura
"Thank you, Jo, this was such a wonderful meditation and centering... feeling so lucky to have you ground three generations of Brooks women every Sunday night! Please can we donate to Breathe Academy to show our gratitude? ❤️"
~ Victoria B.
"I just wanted to say, Jo, I recently signed up to the Breathe Academy mailing list and have been finding it really wonderful - thank you!"
~ Katie A.
