If you've not yet ventured to one of the women's meditation sessions yet, here's a round-up of what you missed (links in the comments):

* Discussion on climate change, feeling disillusioned (let down) on how environmental issues have been lost following end of furlough
* Suggestion of Netflix series: The Green Frontier
* Poem: Letter to Noah's Wife by Maya C Popa

Sitting with - being with whatever arises, however many times they resurface, is an important element to understand within meditation.

Equanimity was a topic in our January meditation session and appears to be gaining ground in focus at the current time. Here's an online event some of you may be interested in:

EVENT OVERVIEW Equanimity is about meeting life, no matter what arises, with an open and responsive heart.

The beauty of the monthly meditation group is the sense of community it creates amongst the women who attend.

Time and again I leave each session with my heart singing from sharing our meditation time together, as well as the openness each woman brings to the group.

Our next meet-up will be on Saturday 12 March - 10am to 12pm

Do get in touch if you need to know anything more about the sessions before booking.

Welcome to 2022 and to the intentions you may be setting for yourself (note: intentions are different to resolutions). Perhaps you want to smile more, to see the sunrise each morning (or sunset of an evening) or both! Whatever you are choosing for yourself, I hope that it boosts your joy-factor.

Our first women's meditation session of the year is coming up - Saturday 15 January - 10am to 12pm. Full details / booking can be found on the website. All welcome regardless of experience.

Have a great day!

We can move between both of these points frequently in our practice as this is the beauty of the mind. Acknowledge the distraction and come back to the view.

I’m sharing this image as it captures the essence of the meditation group and in particular the book we are currently reading: You Belong - Sebene Selassie.

Yesterday’s session reaffirmed the importance of groups where women can meet and feel seen and heard whilst strengthening and supporting ourselves through the practice of meditation.

I’ve said it many times - I can’t realistically describe this meditation group as it is so multifaceted. What I do know is that it has grown and developed into an amazing, welcoming space.

Next meditation: Saturday 20 November
