More details are on the Facebook event fb.me...
Are you an office worker on the 'hamster wheel' of life? Or perhaps you're stuck inside all day and are struggling with lethargy and lack of focus.
Well now the weather is improving, you can now finish your Wednesday 'hump day' doing something enjoyable and good for your mental, physical, and emotional health.
Walking meditation is often used by people who sit for long periods.
It can...
Improve digestion
Reduce anxiety
Improves blood sugar levels and circulation
Alleviate depression
Improves well-being
Improve sleep quality
Make exercise enjoyable
It's amazing how different we feel when paying attention to what's going on around us rather than what's swirling in our head.
These 4 free sessions will entail an easy walk from the Arts Village and around the Government Gardens along with a guided outdoor meditation.
The best thing about these sessions is the sense of community and connection with like minded people which is a massive protective factor for mental health.
And this 4 week block is completely FREE!

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️
First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.
While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.
And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
-
31.5% Yes - get rid of the clock changes
-
67.6% No, I enjoy it
-
0.9% Other - I'll share below
