More Details
Join us for a blissful day of meditation, peaceful serenity, and inspiring periods of teaching about mindfulness.

This is an in-person event held at a truly beautiful location. (Which we have completely to ourselves for the day!) The venue is discreetly tucked away amidst trees and gardens in a quiet corner of Sherwood/Baseford (NG5), just off Hucknall Rd. It’s very easy to get to, has car parking close by, and is located on excellent public transport links. (Yet it is also wonderfully peaceful and serene.)

Light refreshments are provided throughout the day, but please bring your own packed lunch.

The day itself consists of alternating 20-minute periods of:

• Guided meditation
• Peaceful reflective silence (when you are free to move about, sit outside in the gardens and grounds, and help yourself to refreshments)
• Expert teaching about mindfulness and meditation

Plus, you’ll get to spend the day with a great bunch of like-minded people who are all interested in mindfulness and meditation. (There is opportunity for some gentle socialising over lunch for those who would like this—although a quiet lounge is also provided for those who prefer peace and quiet or who wish to maintain a contemplative atmosphere for the whole day.)

The day will be led by Shaun Glossop. Shaun is a highly experienced meditation teacher and a professional MBCT (Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy) coach. (He is also the director and lead teacher of the Nottingham Mindfulness Group.)

Note:
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. However, anyone who is currently experiencing profound psychological and emotional crisis, or who is otherwise in deep distress (including the recently bereaved), should not try meditation. (At these times it's better to seek counselling, therapy or support from a qualified professional; time spent outside in nature can also be beneficial.) In addition, recent research indicates that it may be unwise for people with bipolar vulnerability or those who are suffering from Post Traumatic Stress (PTSD) to try any form of meditation (including Mindfulness) unless it's conducted with appropriate medical supervision. 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 psychotherapist, or another relevant health care professional, before engaging with Mindfulness or any form of meditation.
