Inner wisdom weaves ancient wisdom traditions and modern positive psychology to offer timeless and pragmatic approaches to developing lasting happiness, inner peace and sustainable wellbeing. We offer a range of approaches to developing the inner self that are often overlooked in our modern, material culture.
10 Sticks of Happiness
An old way of understanding that happiness is a fire within us and that is not dependent upon what goes on outside of us. We can learn to be happy whenever we choose by feeding the inner fire with 10 sticks of happiness within.
Our Happiness Weekends provide the tranquil and supportive space to explore deeply, alone and with others, what is needed to brighten your fire of happiness. Read more…

The Wellbeing Journey
It is well understood that our wellbeing (or lack of it) affects our health and our relationships with others –family, friends and community. As we develop our inner wellbeing, so our feeling about our self improves and our ‘outer’ life transforms as well.
The Wellbeing Journey combines ten training modules with periods of practice for you to develop mastery in maintaining strong pathways to inner wellbeing. Read more…
“A personal journey of discovery that is not travelled alone but in the company of friends; inspirational, fun, enjoyable and heart-warming.” Deborah
Mindfulness Retreats
Based in the beautiful North Pennines, these weekend events incorporate being with nature, being in community and Mindfulness practices. Mindfulness helps to put modern life in perspective, through gentle meditation and is increasingly used in health services and business for stress reduction. Regular practice has been shown to have profound effects.
Nature Weekends
The healing power of nature is well known. This weekend will include contemplative wandering, guided exploration off the normal tracks and generally getting in touch with nature. Our gentle community approach will complement the activity with serious conversation and compassionate concern.
