THE PRACTICAL WELLBEING PROJECT
Practical Wellbeing Education Beyond The Barn
The Practical Wellbeing Project brings together the books, retreats, workshops and educational resources that have grown from our work at The Barn. Created from the conversations we have every day, the project exists to make practical, compassionate wellbeing education available to more people by taking our ideas beyond the retreat centre and into the wider community through books, retreats, workshops and accessible resources.
Whether you're joining us at The Barn, attending one of our events on the road or picking up one of our books, you'll find the same practical, evidence-informed approach at the heart of everything we do.
Explore the project below to discover our books, events and resources.
Work With Us
The Practical Wellbeing Project takes our work beyond The Barn, bringing wellbeing education to workplaces, charities, community groups and events across the UK. From keynote talks and interactive workshops to full retreat days, we create engaging, evidence-informed experiences that give people practical tools they can use long after the event has finished.
