An invitation to come together and practice mindfulness meditation.

There are many benefits attributed to mindfulness practice. Both physical and mental health have been shown to improve, for example:

• Lowering blood pressure

• Reduction in stress and anxiety

• Improved relationships.

The sessions will be held once a month and will be two hours long with a short break. They will consist of formal practice, some readings, and poetry, as well as time for discussion.

Gathering together like this can help us to sustain our practice and keep us motivated on our Mindfulness journey.
