Mindfulness is the Acknowledging of Consciousness in Everything Around and Within Us
Retreats in Assisi
I feel very privileged to be a part of a non-profit organisation that has been providing retreats in Assisi since the 1980’s and was founded by Bruce and Ruth Davis. I lead retreats alongside a wonderful team of facilitators including Marianne Niesen and Liam Murphy. You can access the retreats I lead with Assisi Retreats by clicking this link.
The video below gives you a glimpse into some of the pilgrimage sites in Assisi that are a part of the retreat. The retreat usually includes between one and two meditations daily in our meditation room followed by walks to pilgrimage sites and through nature. All retreats begin on a Sunday evening and end on a Friday morning.
Online and in-person Mindfulness Meditations
Guidance on how to meditate and meditating are available to individuals or groups. You can be a beginner who is only just starting to meditate or an experienced meditator who is seeking to deepen your experience.
These sessions can be conducted both online or in-person. The internet allows us the luxury of holding our sessions online so that we are not limited by geography and distance and are beautifully effective because in meditation, practitioners begin to transcend both time and space – making online meditations a “meeting place and space” where those involved begin to tap and enter into the one and only moment we all share – THE PRESENT MOMENT. In person sessions can also be arranged so please feel free to contact me to discuss the options further.
Sessions are through a voluntary donation, and in-person sessions may need to take into account travel distances and their resulting costs.
Spiritual Counselling Sessions
What is spiritual counselling?
As we become a more affluent society, we find most of our material needs being met yet never quite giving us complete fulfilment. We may have the relationship, financial security and health yet still feel unfulfilled and empty. We also soon begin to discover how our lives and homes are becoming more and more cluttered as we continue to accumulate, with each material comfort needing the next.
There is an emerging form of pain, suffering and depression that the medical world has yet to recognise and this is caused by the intrinsic need within each and every one of us to connect with our inner Selves and that space that lies within us through a better understanding our our mind and emotions.
Please contact me directly for these services on +44 7550010800 or vinod@mindfulness.zone. There is no fixed price for these sessions and therefore voluntary donations are accepted.

Retreats and day drop-in sessions
I will be holding a residential retreat at Claridge House, a lovely Victorian house and not for profit vegetarian/vegan retreat centre in Surrey, England from the 10th-12th January 2025. There is an option to also join just for a day on this retreat. Other drop in/one day meditations at Claridge House will be on the 1st February and then in March 2025 just before the Assisi season begins.
Contemplative Walks and Meditation in London
Mindful, meditative walks with stops for meditations and optional meals can be a very nice way in which to experience London, whether you live here or are a first time visitor.
This can be tailored to suit your individual needs, with optional vegan meals included to best suit your budget and needs. Please contact me directly for these services on +44 7550010800 or vinod@mindfulness.zone
You can also find free access to previous Mindfulness Zone Live online meditations here and a few further audio recordings here.
