Meditation and Mantra Chanting

**One Day Retreat: It's Crunch Time \~ *Transform Anger & Frustrations with Ease*** ### *Reclaim Your Inner Stability* Do you ever feel like your emotions are driving the car, while you’re just trapped in the passenger seat? In moments of high stress, anger and frustration can cloud our judgment, drain our energy, and leave us feeling stuck in a loop of self-criticism, dissatisfaction with others, or unhappy with our current life situation. It’s time to hit the pause button. Join us for a transformative one-day retreat designed to help you unpack heavy emotions, understand their root causes, and learn how to navigate them peacefully - without the heavy weight of self-judgment holding you back, telling you that ‘you shouldn't feel that way’. These feelings can actually be the navigator to a more empowered self, constructive relationships with others, and being in tune with your own life circumstances. Easy? It takes some practice, but it is entirely possible! ## What to Expect from This Retreat This isn't just about "managing" your temper; it’s about a complete internal shift. Within a supportive and serene environment, you will gain access to: * **A Judgment-Free Space** * **Understanding and transforming your thinking and mindsets** * **Empowering Meditative Techniques** * **Exploring possible Root Causes** * **Complimentary Communal Lunch with like-minded people**. **Free of Charge:** This event is offered as a service to the community; there is no cost to attend. **Nourishment:** A complimentary **Vegetarian / Vegan lunch** and Tea & Coffee will be provided. **Where:** Haslemere Hall, 2a Haslemere Road, Thornton Heath, Croydon CR7 7BE If that resonates with you, please register for the event as space is limited. We look forward to welcoming you. **Please register** at https://brahmakumaris.uk/event/?id=7164172 We look forward to welcoming you, The Croydon Event Team

**Introduction** In our busy city, it can be difficult to find time to slow down and smell the roses! Forest bathing offers you the chance to do just that. Over the course of 2 hours, you will be guided through a multi-sensory exploration of the natural world, giving you time to slow down, breathe, and find peace among the natural world. **What is forest bathing?** Forest bathing typically consists of slow walking, mindfulness practices, and resting (seated or lying down) in nature. Remember being a kid and just watching the branches overhead in the breeze? Originating in Japan in the 1980s, Shin-Rin Yoku or forest bathing, was created as a preventative response to climbing rates of stress in urban areas. Since then, many research studies have shown that even one hour a week spent engaging with nature can significantly reduce symptoms of stress. **What to expect:** * 2-hour duration * Small group size (maximum 6) * Multi-sensory activities * Sharing circle (optional) * Herbal tea offering * A guide to take care of you, so you can truly relax into the wonder of the natural world * Phone-free environment * Opportunity to chat and connect with others (if you would like to) * **Please note there are no toilets available** \- there are several cafes on Mile End Road with toilet facilities\. **What to bring:** * Warm clothes; even on a summer day, spending prolonged time in the shade can begin to feel chilly! * Shoes with a good grip, and that you don't mind getting dirty * A journal and pen * A mug (for tea if you fancy it!) * Any medications you might need, such as EpiPens or inhalers. **How much is it?** This experience is offered on a donation basis; this means you can decide what you can reasonably afford to give. To help you decide, we want to be transparent with our cost breakdown: * £8.50 - meets the recommended donation to Friends of THCP and contributes to important conservation work * £12 - covers the above and supports the guide at the minimum wage rate * £15-20 - pay it forward / supporter option. You are welcome to give less or more depending on your personal circumstances. **[Make a donation here](https://buy.stripe.com/14AfZg0Gn3qL9Dx86M2VG02)**. **About your guide:** Hello! I'm Lizzie, a life-long nature lover. Having been gifted the Kingfisher Concise Field Guide to Animals & Plants of Britain and Europe at the tender age of five, it's perhaps unsurprising that I am happiest outdoors! After several years as a geography teacher and data analyst, I began my studentship as a Forest Bathing Practitioner with Nature and Therapy in June 2025. I have experienced the medicinal influence of nature in my own life when I've struggled with burnout and grief; it's a gift I am keen to share with others. If you have any questions, please do reach out. I look forward to welcoming you! **What next?** Sign up! Then, you will receive a participation form by email with a couple of questions about health and safety; please try to respond before the event, so we can go straight to the trees! Your answers will help us to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone and are encrypted. Our GDPR policy is available on request.

Want to become more confident speaking in front of others, without the pressure of formal public speaking? This event is designed to help you **build confidence in speaking naturally, expressing your thoughts more freely, and feeling more comfortable using your voice in everyday life and in front of a group.** Due to the growing interest in our Speed Speaking event, we’ve now moved it to Sunday so more people can join and enjoy the experience together. So, what actually happens? We gather in a relaxed, welcoming circle and take turns responding to short, playful, and thought-provoking prompts. Some questions are lighthearted and funny, while others spark curiosity, reflection, or unexpected conversations. You’ll have **up to two minutes per turn**, just enough time to express yourself without pressure, and everyone gets several opportunities to speak throughout the session. Each round introduces a fresh topic and a new invitation to share. There’s no need to perform, impress anyone, or “say the right thing.” The goal is simply to practice speaking in a supportive environment where everyone is encouraged to be themselves. You’re always free to actively participate or simply listen and absorb the atmosphere. Either way, you’ll be surrounded by warmth, kindness, laughter, and encouraging people. What makes this experience special is how naturally confidence begins to grow. Without forcing anything, you slowly become more at ease speaking up, sharing your thoughts, and trusting your own voice, both in public speaking and in daily conversations. Come for the conversation, stay for the connection, and leave feeling lighter, more confident, and more comfortable being yourself 💛 The event is completely **free**, and no ticket is needed. **Please arrive in front of Arundel Building between 14:40 and 14:55** Then we will head up together to the room on the 5th floor and begin the session at 15:00 promptly. To keep the experience smooth and uninterrupted for everyone, entry won’t be possible after 15:00 Please RSVP in advance and keep your attendance status updated, as the activities and flow of the event are planned around the number of participants.

**Soulbits Circle: A Monthly Gathering** **Every fragment of your story is medicine; come weave it into being** **Hosted by: Caitlynn Fortson** **[www.kalikwellnesswithin.org](www.kalikwellnesswithin.org) \| [www.centerfornewlife.org](www.centerfornewlife.org)** **The Center for New Life or Virtual, upon request** **Monthly Circles \| Fridays 6:30\-7:30PM** **Upcoming Dates: 5/1, 5/29, 6/26, 7/24, 8/28, 9/25, 10/23, 11/27, 12/18** A monthly healing space where we gather to tend the pieces of ourselves and weave them back into wholeness that we are. Each session opens with a Soulbits oracle image setting the tone for the gathering we will move through. We will come together to honor the natural rhythms of rooting, rising, releasing, and receiving; the cycles that shape the soul’s journey. Through the four pillars of being: mindset, movement, connection & nourishment, we will create a space where imagery, sensation, and community weave together. Where the body becomes the guide, images act as mirrors, and the soul speaks. This circle is about noticing what rises, honoring what’s true, and reconnecting with the parts of yourself ready to be seen. This is a space to gather your scattered pieces, soften your body, and return to your truth with community by your side. Soulbits Circle is a reminder that every fragment of your story, every soulbit, belongs. Together we weave them into the blooming wholeness that you are. *Energy Exchange: 1-group $20-40 or 6-group $115* *Payment Options: Venmo or Cash* **Please RSVP to [Caitlynn](https://kalikwellnesswithin.org/) via** **email @ [kalik.wellnesswithin@gmail.com](mailto:kalik.wellnesswithin@gmail.com)** **text @ ‪(614) 407-4021‬** 💫
