Nottingham Mindfulness Group - Meditation & Mindful Living

 
 
 

We meet each week - usually on a Thursday evening - to learn about Mindfulness and to explore Mindfulness techniques, particularly different methods of Mindfulness meditation.

These weekly meetings contain a mix of different elements - all of which are designed to deepen our understanding and experience of Mindfulness in a gentle, uncomplicated and easy-to-understand way. Our meetings include occasional talks from guest speakers, film or video presentations about Mindfulness and practical exercises that can help us to live in a Mindful way. Every week there is a period of group meditation that forms a key part of the evening, providing direct, practical experience of Mindful meditation - plus there's opportunity to socialise with other group members over refreshments, making it a fun social evening too!

The atmosphere is very friendly, relaxed and informal - you'll get to meet a great bunch of interesting people, and new faces are very welcome.

We meet at 7pm and the meeting runs through to approximately 8.30pm.

To help cover room hire and other costs, there is an admission charge of £5 (waged) and £3 (unwaged). Tea, juice and biscuits are provided for FREE, and other hot and cold drinks (including latte, cappuccino, sodas and herbal teas) can be purchased at the counter.

Full details of this week's meeting will follow shortly - watch this space!

About the Venue:
SoBar is a pleasant, contemporary cafe-bar-restaurant that is also the venue for our other regular meetings. It's alcohol free. It is very centrally located in the Nottingham city centre, just a two minute walk along Friar Lane from the Old Market Square (which is the hub of the Nottingham city centre, for those who aren't too familiar with the city). It's close to bus and tram stops, and it is a short walk from the rail station. There is convenient parking nearby, including on street parking for just £1 in the metre for the whole evening after 6pm (located in Castle Rd, off Castle Boulevard).

Please Note:
Our meetings are designed to share information about Mindfulness and to offer the opportunity to experience and practice Mindful meditation. Our meetings are not structured to form a progressive course or formal training in Mindfulness, and they do not, in and of themselves, constitute a "Mindfulness-Based" therapy (such as MBSR or MBCT). Our Group publishes and promotes full details of the formal classes and courses in Mindfulness and "Mindfulness-Based" therapies that are available in Nottingham and the wider East Midlands - please ask us for a free copy of this information if it would be of interest to you.
Mindfulness and other forms of meditation are safe and appropriate practices for the vast majority of people and they are proven to offer a wide range of benefits, including the lowering of stress and deep levels of relaxation. Current research indicates that all forms of meditation (including Mindfulness) may be unwise for people with bipolar vulnerability or those who are suffering from Post Traumatic Stress (PTSD). If you are currently receiving treatment for any form of mental health issue (or have received such treatment in the recent past, or have reason to believe that you might need such treatment), you should consult your doctor or health care professional before engaging with Mindfulness or any form of meditation.

The organiser of this event, Shaun, also runs GreenSpirit Notts, Derby & Leicester which is another group here on MeetUp.com that might be of interest to you. To see its page just Click Here (http://www.meetup.com/GreenSpirit-Notts-Derby-Leicester-Spirituality-Action/)
