Severn Valley Country Park is working with fully qualified ‘British School of Meditation’ teacher Mandy Clarke to unravel the mysteries of mindfulness and mediation to their visitors.

Research has shown that people’s day-to-day busy lifestyles could benefit from taking time to de-stress through mindfulness and meditation. It is said it is essential for personal wellbeing to take a few minutes each day to achieve a positive mind-body balance which will help people cope better with causes of stress and anxiety.

The course, Mindfulness and Meditation Beginners Part 2, to be held on Saturday 21 April 2018, is aimed at those who have already attended the Beginners Part 1 session. The theme of the Part 2 workshop will be how meditation may help to combat stress.

The course will be held in the visitor centre at Severn Valley Country Park on Saturday 21 April 2018 at 9.45am-11.15am. It is £7.50 (including refreshments).
