Looking for some company on Wednesdays? Join us! Why? Because who doesn't love a 'weekend feel' on a Wednesday. 🤷‍♀️ Christina (not an instructor, just an artist) will be working on some of her creations and you can come keep her company. Do some of your own art, sit and have a cuppa, or work on some other project. The purpose of this MeetUp is.... just because! Feel free to drop in any time for however long in between 10am and 12pm. (Even if you need to get away from your boss for five minutes or change the current screen that you are looking at that is driving you mental, drop by and say hi! 😜) Passcode: Welcome . . .

Go to our Group Page to learn more about our other hosts . . . 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩 𝐠𝐮𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬: • Let's keep things respectful. Our group has a diverse range of members and we get along great! This is because we accept one another, avoid insensitive comments, try to keep swearing to a minimum, and steer clear of gossip and mindless venting. • Please be punctual. Our hosts will check the Meetup page and post their location upon arrival before redirecting their attention to the people present. If you are late (more than 5 min), don’t expect to be able to reach them as they may not check their phone. Please allow enough time for travel and parking. (On that note, we don't organise carpooling because of various liability issues.) • If you say you're going to come, then please actually come. Many of our events end up waitlisted so if you claim a spot and don't show up, then someone else might miss out. Attendees who don't show up (or cancel their RSVP within 12 hours of the event) will be flagged as "no-shows". Repeat "no-showers" will be banned from the group to make space for more reliable attendees. • We want to keep all our members safe and healthy so if you are unwell, then please stay home. If you need to cancel within the 12 hour "no show" window, please send a courtesy message to the event host. • Please don't come if you are just looking to hit people up for your own agenda. Our members are so much more than followers for your Instagram account, customers for your Herbalife business, or people for your Forex empire. In our community, we are about adding value to one another. If you are just coming with a self-serving agenda, then we aren't your crowd. • And finally, this isn't a great group for people who like wallowing in life's problems. We choose positivity and gratitude, so bring some with you!

Simple 30-minute meditation. A quiet time to simply sit, which naturally cultivates peace of mind and a happy heart. Usually 8-10 meditators - most don't respond on Meetup. There is an optional time for questions and discussion following. Feel free to drop in. Peace, Brad

Description Let your attendees know what to expect, including the agenda, what they need to bring, and how to find the group.
