Monday, October 16th 7-9pm UK time (Online)
Are you interested in meditation, wellbeing, relaxation and creative expression? Come join us to explore the rich field of mindfulness and creativity together – everyone welcome!
Sessions include guided mindfulness practices, songs, creative exercises, time for reflection and sharing of experiences and creative work. No special training needed, but if you have a creative background that’s very welcome, too!
Final session – Harvest
We’ve been meeting monthly for over two years, and a lovely group of fellow creatives has grown. This final session for now offers an opportunity to contemplate the theme of harvest together. As gardens, allotments and fields are offering an abundance of good things for us to harvest, what might we harvest on the inner level? What have we grown individually and together in these two years of creative explorations? We invite you to join us for an evening of slowing down with meditation and arriving in the Here & Now. From that place of connection with our body, mind and heart, we embark once more on creative exercises to tap into playfulness, ease and inspiration.
