About us
## What we’re about
A calm, welcoming space for gentle online meditations to help you slow down, reset, and feel more at ease in your body and mind.
Sessions are guided, supportive, and designed to be accessible — whether you’re completely new to meditation or already have a regular practice.
The emphasis is on kindness rather than perfection, and on working with the body’s natural rhythms, energy, and capacity for rest and healing.
***
## What we do
We host live, guided online sessions, which may include:
- Guided meditation and mindfulness practices
- Reiki-inspired guided healing meditations
- Gentle breath and body awareness
- Practices to support the nervous system and emotional regulation
Some sessions may be especially supportive for people navigating stress, ADHD traits, perimenopause or menopause, though everyone is welcome.
Sessions are calm, grounding, and pressure-free.
***
## Who it’s for
This group is open to anyone who wants:
- more calm and clarity
- a gentler relationship with their mind and body
- meditation that doesn’t require sitting still, “clearing your mind”, or doing things perfectly
You don’t need prior experience — just a willingness to pause.
***
## How sessions work
- Online (UK time)
- Monthly schedule
- Cameras always optional, microphones muted
- No pressure to speak or share
Each month includes one free guided meditation session for all.
Additional sessions offered will require a small contribution, which will always be clearly stated on the event listing.

## About the organiser
The group is organised and facilitated by Ruth Garner, who guides meditation and Reiki-inspired practices with a focus on self-kindness, nervous system support, and meeting yourself where you are.

·OnlineOnline### Settle the Mind with Sound – Introduction to Sound and Mantra Meditation
LINK - ONLINE SESSION
Have you ever noticed how repeating a word, sound, or gentle tone can help quiet the mind?
This relaxed online session is part of a short Meditation Discovery Series, offering gentle introductions to different meditation practices.
If your mind has been feeling busy or restless lately, this session may help you slow down and experience a different way of settling the mind.
Rather than spending a long time talking about meditation, we’ll spend most of the session experiencing the practice together, so you can discover how meditation feels in your own mind and body.***
This Session: Sound and Mantra Meditation
In this session we will explore sound-based meditation, using simple sounds such as gentle humming and repeating calming tones or simple mantras to help settle the mind.
Sound can be a powerful way to focus attention. The gentle vibration created by humming can stimulate the vagus nerve, which plays an important role in helping the body relax and settle. Many people find that humming naturally brings a sense of calm, grounding, and relaxation.
During the session we may explore practices such as:
• gentle humming
• repeating a calming tone or simple mantra
• noticing the vibration and sensation of sound in the body
These practices are simple, natural, and no singing ability or previous experience is needed.***
