Sunday 22nd March - 11.30am-12.30pm
(Online via Microsoft Teams)

This is a chance to mark the spring equinox (the half point between the shortest and longest days of the year) with a mindful pause.

Meredith will guide you through a soothing, sensory meditation incorporating hot chocolate.

This gentle session is focussed on:

• listening to your body

• calming your mind

• helping you feel connected with your senses through mindful eating; and

• exploring the sensory joy of sipping hot chocolate

What can you expect?

• 25-30 minute guided mindful eating meditation incorporating Calm Cocoa hot chocolate

• Time for reflection and discussion

• Short closing meditation to help you carry some of this hot chocolate calm into your weekend

• A sprinkle of chocolatey facts, including the sacred roots of chocolate

I'll send out your choice of a 60g sachet of Calm Cocoa hot chocolate - if your billing address isn’t the same as your shipping address please add this in the optional form at the checkout.

The whole selection is vegan-friendly (and contains no gluten or nuts, but please note that I do handle gluten and nuts in my kitchen from time to time).

Your chocolate will be sent out Royal Mail Tracked 48 by Wednesday morning before to the session so please book your spot by 12pm Wednesday 18th at the latest.

You'll receive a Microsoft Teams link ahead of the session so you can log in on Sunday morning.

Is this session is for you? 

• This meditation workshop is suitable for new and experienced meditators.

  Meditation is a very personal experience and there's no right or wrong way to feel about it!

• We won't be aiming to transcend to any higher planes or tap into different states of consciousness; this workshop is about grounding, connecting and calming.

There will be time for discussion and questions - but you can also just sit in silence if that's what you prefer.

You'll be most comfortable if you wear loose clothing and if you can find a space in your home where you can be relatively undisturbed that will be perfect. We'll do the meditation sitting, so feel free to bring cushions, shawls, or a spare jumper!

Please note if you are suffering from certain diagnosed mental health conditions (including clinical depression, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder) you should always seek support your supporting clinician before taking part in meditation. I'll provide a form to complete ahead of the workshop to help you identify any information or support you should seek before taking part in the session.
