Mindfulness locally for a healthy mind

Eve from Eve Rudkin Mindfulness

Hi Neighbours, mindfulness meditation has become a go-to practice for people seeking to cope with rising levels of stress, overactive minds, a loss of inner peace in our busy modern world.

Come and soothe body and mind with a small group for a gentle mindfulness session of ease and peace. The session includes gentle movement and relaxing simple meditation.

Next one is on Monday 16 March 1.30 - 2.45pm, Meadowbank Community Centre. Come and see what it is like! Contact me - the first session free, then Koha welcome. 021 255 1485

Ongoing on the 3rd Monday of the month.
