What We’ll Be Sharing With You
Your day will start with an early-ish morning pre-breakfast yoga session – even if you don’t feel like it when you wake up, this session will really wake you up and revitalise you, as well as help you to shift any blocks in your body, mind and emotions. For kids, there will be an optional children’s yoga and movement session
Enjoy an amazing gourmet breakfast – after your early morning yoga, of course!After breakfast, there is a morning session, which will vary each day but will include a blend of NLP (‘practical psychology’), ancient wisdom, meditation and mindfulness. These sessions form the core of the teaching on the retreat.
After a break, there will be a further one-hour morning session, which will be light-hearted and practical, for you to get to apply what you learned in the earlier session. This is vital, to help your body, mind and soul ‘get’ the shifts you’re making. 🙂
How’s this for a spot for an afternoon rest?You get free time after lunch, to enjoy the hotel’s facilities and to allow the morning’s work to sink in.
Then, later in the afternoon, there’s another session, with inspirational techniques and group work, to help you to learn and grow.
On some days, after dinner, there will be optional meditation sessions and satsang (group discussions), for those who want to experience these practices more deeply.
Here’s SOME of what we’ll be covering:
How to feel less stressed and reconnect with your inner peace, no matter what is going on in your life.
How to ride the wave of emotions, setting yourself free from other people’s drama.
Why you (and those other people who are obviously crazy!) do the strange things you do, even when you can see it’s not getting you where you want to be!
Why your environment has such an impact on your experience of life – and what you can do about it.
How to start dealing with the habits that have got you to where you are now – including how to choose those you want to keep – and what to do to painlessly dump those that need to go.
How to handle the thought patterns, limiting beliefs and old excuses that have been supporting you or perhaps holding you back so far. You’ll learn highly practical techniques for dealing with them.
Insider secrets, to help you shift towards positive thinking, at times of stress.
Take a tour through the obstacle course of our relationships (with others and with yourself), covering strategies for dealing with difficult people. You’ll even discover how those who annoy you most could actually be giving you your biggest ever gift.
How to create more time for yourself – and what you really want from life.
How to reconnect with the essence of who you really are, feeling happier and more at peace, no matter what is going on around you.
Simple, yet transformational, techniques that you can use daily, in just a few minutes, to maintain the shifts you make on the retreat – and to take things further.
How to create an inspirational vision for your future – getting clarity about what you want from life and moving towards consciously creating it – easily.
Sessions are timed to fit in with the hotel’s fabulous kids’ club, so that any little ones are well cared for and you can relax and enjoy your retreat.
What’s The Investment
Want to do yoga and mindful walking on this beach?Before the retreat:
To help you get the most from this life-changing retreat, there will be some specially designed exercises for you to do, over the coming months.
You’ll be sent these in August and the materials will take you about half a day to work through, then a few minutes, several times a week (or daily) to practice. They’re a vital part of the retreat and are easy and fun to do.
You also get moral support in our friendly online community. There’s a special area, just for people who are joining us in Turkey this year, so you can share your experiences of the pre-retreat materials and get answers to your questions.
Financial:
We are in the process of negotiating a great discounted rate with the hotel for you – we’ll be able to let you know exactly how to book, in June. Their typical ALL INCLUSIVE rate is around £100 per person per night, if sharing, or about £150-£200 per night for a family of 4. That’s less than the typical cost of a B&B in the UK – yet you get 5* all inclusive 🙂
Because everyone’s needs are different – and because some people will want to travel on their own, whilst others will be bringing the whole family, we are asking you to book your accommodation yourself, so that we don’t ‘get in the way’ or over-complicate things. But please wait until we can give you the code for your discounted rate, so we can make it really easy for you!
In the meantime, to get an idea of the hotel’s typical room rates, here’s where you can get a rough idea of the maximum accommodation cost for you and your family: Hilton Dalaman.
You will also need to arrange your own flights to Dalaman in Turkey. We can help to arrange group transfers, nearer the time.

The 28 Day Meditation Challenge is more than just a meditation course.
Yes, it will help you learn to meditate, bringing you the meditation techniques you need, whether you’re a meditation beginner or an old hand rekindling your meditation practice.
But the 28 Day Meditation Challenge goes further than that.
Being taught how to meditate is rarely enough.
It’s knowing how to create the daily meditation habit that makes the difference between a ‘nice idea’ and a strong, sustainable meditation or mindfulness practice.
That’s the key aim of the 28 Day Meditation Challenge.
In the 28 Day Meditation Challenge Clare Josa (an experienced Meditation Teacher and NLP Trainer) demystifies ancient meditation techniques, whilst combining them with an inspired blend of modern psychology, to help you get results that other courses can’t.
She shares with you the secrets to getting started and staying motivated, finding time for your ten minutes a day, no matter how busy life is.
It’s easy, when you know how:
Meditate for 10 minutes a day (specially-designed meditation audios & full step-by-step guidance provided).
Read your daily ‘how to’ inspirational email. Experiment with the affirmations. Enjoy the inspirational quotes.
Take action, when you feel inspired.
Ask questions & share your journey with others in the exclusive online forum.
Watch how the 28 Day Meditation Challenge changes your life in subtle, yet profound, ways.
Conscious Pricing
It’s really important to me that everyone can afford to join in with this life-changing course – whilst also making a fair energy exchange.
As with all of my courses, my Conscious Pricing Policy applies to the 28 Day Meditation Challenge – so if you genuinely can’t afford the suggested donation, please contact us to arrange an alternative energy exchange. I trust you to be fair and there’s no judgement.
Get Started Today
The 28 day meditation challenge’s approach is unique.
It’s about much more than just meditation!
Of course, it guides, step by step, through the essentials of how to meditate, just as you would expect from a course created by a formally-trained, experienced meditation teacher.
But Clare Josa helps you go further than that – sharing her decades of psychology & NLP expertise (certified NLP Trainer).
In this inspirational, down-to-earth programme, Clare Josa takes you on a powerful journey to free yourself from old excuses, negative thought patterns and limiting beliefs, to enjoy the many scientifically-proven benefits of meditation, no matter how busy your life is.
Drawing from various ancient spiritual traditions, as well as powerful life-changing techniques and practical wisdom, the 28 Day Meditation Challenge has the potential to transform your experience of life – all served up with an upbeat tone, plenty of encouragement and a dollop of humour!
It’s up to you how deeply you allow the 28 Day Meditation Challenge to work for you. But in just 28 days, you have the potential to:
avoid the most common meditation myths and mistakes that prevent people from being able to benefit from meditation
overcome the fears that may have stopped you from making changes in the past
learn how to keep yourself motivated, even when you’re not in the mood
weave practical relaxation strategies into your day-to-day life
discover how to find more time in your day
learn how to easily handle common meditation challenges, that could normally de-rail you
deal with your meditation excuses, calmly and effectively
start to feel more relaxed, less stressed and happier
begin to handle your emotions more easily
find simple ways of making meditation practice – and its enormous benefits – an integral part of your life
What You Get
During the 28 days, you will be guided through four styles of meditation, which progressively help you to lay the foundations for your meditation practice.
The daily emails pre-empt and help you handle the most common pitfalls & mistakes that would usually stop people from creating a meditation habit.
They can also inspire you with practical techniques to deal with stress, worry and emotions in other areas of your life, even when you’re not meditating.
The 28 Day Meditation Challenge is split into four sections:
Week One brings you a breath awareness meditation.
The daily messages cover busting the #1 meditation myth, how to sit comfortably to meditate, handling your meditation excuses, how to ‘magically’ find more time and how to keep the momentum going.
Week Two takes you into the realm of making friends with your ‘Monkey Mind‘.
You’ll discover some of the tricks it can play and how you can reclaim control, without turning things into a war. The daily messages cover how to stop others from stealing your meditation time and how to get over an addiction to putting your ‘to do’ list, plus Clare shares insider secrets to fast-track creating any new habit and getting past the ‘meditation hump’.
Week Three brings you practical mindfulness meditation techniques that can transform your experience of life.
The daily messages include giving you a magic wand to deal with worrying, spilling the beans on how wiggling your butt can help you meditate (really!) and sharing strategies for what to do if meditation stirs that old emotional pot.
Week Four moves into gentle mantra meditation, to help you make subtle, yet profound, changes in your life.
The daily messages tip you off about the most dangerous word a beginner can use, two little words that could change your life, how to tell whether you’re ‘actually meditating’, how to find the time you need, creating a special meditation space and ideas to help you continue with your meditation journey.

Being told how to meditate is rarely enough.
Millions of people, over the years, have found that being told how to meditate isn’t enough. You need help to create the habit, too.
Past students on the 28 Day Meditation Challenge have discovered the truth of this – and the fact that just 10 minutes a day can change your life.
The 28 Day Meditation Challenge has helped them to finally achieve the results they were looking for.
Just Imagine…
Whether you’re new to meditation or rekindling an old habit, imagine…
being guided, step by step, with daily inspirational emails
enjoying a new, tailor-made meditation each week, on MP3 or optional CD
having access to exclusive videos, helping you avoid common meditation mistakes
breaking through old excuses and limiting beliefs, to make change easy and lasting, with proven psychological strategies in your Welcome Pack and daily emails
turning your monkey mind into your friend, rather than continuing to fight and resent it
staying motivated and feeling supported by sharing your questions and experiences with others in the members-only online forum
All this, and more, in the comfort of your own home, at times that suit you. Are you up for it?
This course is powerful, though fun and immensely rewarding. It can help you shift your experience of life, to feel happier, more calm, less stressed and more at peace. And it will lay firm foundations for any further meditation practice you choose to follow in the future. Many of the students who have done other meditation courses in the past often report that, with the 28 Day Meditation Challenge, “This time it finally worked.”
If you do the meditations and apply the techniques, then this course will work for you.
BUT: Reading the emails won’t be enough to change your life. You’ll need to take action – when you feel inspired – in order to make those changes.
The 28 Day Meditation Challenge has taken over a thousand hours to create and is based on many years of teaching (and still studying!) life-changing techniques. So it’s not a ‘freebie course’.
What’s The Investment?
Expect to spend 10-15 minutes a day on the 28 Day Meditation Challenge – that includes time to read each day’s message, as well as time for your meditation.
If that’s too much for you, you might prefer my weekly mindfulness course, which comes in 5 minute segments, once a week, but it takes a full year, instead of 28 days 52 Mindful Moments.
From the feedback I have had from students of the 28 Day Meditation Challenge, I know how easily it can help people make shifts in their life, even in the first few days.
And I want to make it accessible to everyone.
So the 28 Day Meditation Challenge is part of my Conscious Pricing Policy – you get to choose how much to donate – simply contact us to arrange an alternative energy exchange, if you genuinely cannot afford the suggested donation.
“Love It!” Guarantee
To help take the risk out of your decision to join in with this course, we offer a “Love It!” guarantee.

If, by day 10, your heart is telling you that this isn’t the right course for you, reply to one of the daily emails and let us know that you’d like to stop. .

No quibble, no hoops to jump through, no sulks, no awkward feelings. It’s ok.

Welcome to week 3 of How To Beat The Winter Blues!
How did you get on with last week’s strategies, for keeping your energy levels feeling great this winter? I’d love to hear how you’re getting on, over at the forum.
This week we’re moving on to your Monkey Mind and the vital role it plays in the winter blues.
It’s not winter that’s the problem – it’s the stories we tell ourselves about it.
When it comes to dealing with the winter blues, your Monkey Mind (the chattering bit that runs a commentary on every aspect of your life) can be your worst enemy. It can take a cold breeze and turn it into a gale. It can take a few spots of rain and turn them into a downpour. It can take a few flakes of snow and turn them into a blizzard.
But your Monkey Mind can also be your best friend, when you know how to handle it.
Want to find out how?
