Conscious Gathering

A new group meeting regularly on Sunday mornings to explore the bigger questions:
Why are we here?
Is there more to life than this?

We will hold a space together to consider how, by being more connected in the moment, we can create a more loving, compassionate and harmonious world, one where we cooperate as one and see each other as the equal human beings we are.

While we are each unique individuals, many of us also sense that we are deeply interconnected, both with each other and with something far greater than ourselves. Conscious Gathering is a safe and nurturing space to explore that together without judgement; open to everyone regardless of background, gender, race, neurodiversity, politics or religion.

Each session includes a 20-minute guided mindfulness and connection practice, followed by open sharing for those who choose to. We have the room for up to 2 hours so we can get drinks from the cafe or mezzanine bar and bring them back to the Studio to continue the conversation and get to know each other better - creating community is at the very heart of these gatherings.

Please note that this is a sharing space, not therapy or professional support — please participate in whatever way feels right for you.

My name is Richard. I’m an intuitive healer, leadership coach and spiritual guide, and I’ve felt a calling to create a space like this for several years. I believe we are collectively waking up to the possibility that there is much more to life than our everyday world reveals, and I’m passionate about exploring that with others.

Conscious Gathering is not about profit. Sessions are run by volunteers and held in venues that generously offer their space, in return for participants enjoying the café afterwards. As long as that continues, there will be no charge.

All are genuinely welcome. No one is excluded.

A message from Nottingham Friends:
These sessions are offered as a trial series, with the intention of running them in other parts of Nottingham if they are successful. Richard's style will appeal strongly to some and not to others — his intention is to provide something positive and helpful for those drawn to this kind of reflective, structured gathering. Nottingham Friends isn't changing direction, the usual mix of events continues as normal. This series sits alongside them as Richard's own offering.
