Residents are once again being invited to take part in another Soulful Sunday’ workshop in the city, following the success of the first series earlier this year.
The event, designed to promote positive mental health and mindfulness, will take place on Sunday 29th October.
‘Soulful Sunday’ is an afternoon of meditation to encourage participants to feel much more positive and hopeful about day-to-day life.
Through the practice of kirtan yoga, people attending will be encouraged to take up mantra meditation, a practice originally from India but now popular throughout the world.
Nathan Hartley, who heads up the team at the Bath & North East Somerset Faith Foundation, is organising the event.
He said: “Life is often far too hectic. Work, family and other responsibilities rarely give us the opportunity to take time out for ourselves.
“‘Me time’ is essential! If we don’t look after ourselves what good are we to those around us?
“Our Soulful Sunday event is an afternoon of blissful meditation that, through the practice of chanting and yoga, will be an oasis for anyone who comes along.”
The event on Sunday 29th October, will take place between 2.30pm and 5.30pm at the Percy Community Centre, New King Street.
As well as mantra meditation, those attending will be offered a free nutritious, vegetarian/vegan meal.
Nathan added: “We want to feed the body as well as the soul. These Soulful Sunday events are free of charge, and anyone is welcome to attend.”
