About this event


Although it's common to feel stuck, we are not fixed or defined by our past experiences; we all have an extraordinary potential for positive change and good qualities. As we approach the dawn of a new year, learn how to let go of the past and tap into your innate capacity to thrive by living fully in the present.

Suitable for both beginners and experienced meditators, each session will include practical instruction and guided meditation. Join us at the end for an informal Q&A and light refreshments if you wish.


No previous experience is needed, and absolutely everyone is welcome!
