When did you last look at the night sky with your full attention, wonder and curiosity? Mindful Stargazing has nothing to do with star maps, coordinates or science facts. Instead, it is the pure, immersive experience of looking up at the night sky with wide-eyed inquisitiveness and wonder.

This retreat 8-day course will combine a mixture of activities centred around mindfulness during the day and the night. Practices will include Zen Meditation, Yoga and Qigong based on the energy of the season and Mindful Stargazing at night under the beautiful dark skies of rural France.

Please note that this has already taken place on 08/09/2023

Event darkness

The Moon has a big impact on the visibility of celestial bodies in the night sky. Try to plan your stargazing when there is no bright Moon at night as this is when the skies will be at their darkest.

The below chart shows if and when the skies will be at their darkest during this event. Moonlight is shown in light yellow and the Sun's twilight in light blue. Midnight on the date shown is shown as a white line with sunset to the left and sunrise the next morning to the right. A black background with stars shows the best times for stargazing.
