Celebrating new contemplative psychology research from Bangor University!

Congratulations to PhD candidate Alison Burton on the publication of her research exploring how online retreats compare with in-person retreats.

🧘 In-person retreats can offer an immersive opportunity to step away from everyday life and dedicate time to contemplative practice. Online retreats are more financially and practically accessible, while helping people integrate their practice into everyday life.
