Reviews

"Karen is an extremely insightful teacher and her workshops are always an absolute pleasure. Since working with her my experience and attitudes about work have transformed in a very positive way.  Despite working in the frantic world of investment banking, the Bridging Minds practices have instilled a real sense of peace within me. It still amazes me how much the 10 minute practices can shift things. They enable me to start and/or finish my day in a connected, expansive and calm state - and thats no easy feat when life is also very demanding.  This work is to be treasured.” Project Manager Investment Banking 

 “The Bridging Minds practices created a welcome opportunity to take 'time out' to re-appraise my priorities - a breathing space within a hectic and demanding life, with lots of 'doing' and not enough 'being'. I had experienced mindfulness before and found it great for focussing my mind, but the Bridging Mind approach is so much more..... For me, the body work enabled me to release trapped energy and tension which had probably been stored for some time. Like everyone who has a busy mind, I relished the chance to get out of my mind and pay attention to my body. The practices are simple, yet so powerful, and are accessible to everyone whether they are at home or in the office. They have become a daily part of my self-care and have contributed significantly to my quality of life and overall wellbeing. I would strongly recommend the practices for individuals, healthcare workers, patients, and organisations alike.” NHS HR Director

“To find  this retreat and find Karen (a lady with the most amazing soul) was just what I needed at this time in my life. Her practices and the way in which she has helped me heal is remarkable ...to give myself permission to spend time in these wonderful surroundings was my first hurdle and I was surprised at how safe and nurtured  I felt ...it really changed my life. I have visited twice now and each time I have been welcomed with open arms and extremely well looked after. Nothing is a problem …”

“Karen goes above and beyond to care for us ....It really is a place of warmth and love and a place I will come to recharge my soul ...”

"Primrose Cottage is a home away from home perched on the edge of Glastonbury Tor.  In fact, it's better than home because a retreat at Primrose Cottage has the warmth, wisdom and clarity of Karen Fletcher for morning and evening meditations.  I arrived stressed, depressed and deeply anxious and I left feeling better in mind and body than I've done in years."

 “So much of what I encounter in leaders today is not a lack of skill or knowledge, but a lack of connection with themselves and with the people around them. The frenetic busyness and ever increasing demands that are made on all of us makes it challenging to even think about carving out the time to consider what that busyness does to our relationships, our effectiveness or impact. The simple and yet powerful transcending stress techniques give me the opportunity to model what is possible when that connection to my own authentic self is re-established." Occupational Psychologist and L&D professional
