Have you ever experienced the state of flow? A moment when time seemed to disappear? You were so absorbed by an activity (surfing, painting, running, meditating) that the rest of the world seemed to fade away?

the practice of Flow

Any activity that brings you out of that mind chatter and back to the present moment is going to profoundly affect you. The more often you practice this activity the easier it will be to quiet the mind. The more you quiet the mind, the easier it will be to access the state of flow (or get into the zone), throughout daily life.

The flow practices and retreat packages developed by Flow Retreat have been designed to help you enter into this state of flow as you become one with your internal sensations. Learn more about our flow practices here.


Floating has given me hope that a whole chunk of our population, that normally would never be able to meditate, could now achieve those sorts of deep meditative states.

flow psychology

Psychologists call the feeling of complete engagement in a creative or playful activity - the state of flow. A flow state is also referred to as ‘being in the zone’. Flow puts your body into a state of calm - when you feel and perform at your best. World famous psychologist, Dr Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, found that accessing the state of flow is the secret to sustained happiness in life.
