An event to promote positive mental health and mindfulness will be returning later this month following the success of the first ‘Soulful Sunday’ in January.
‘Soulful Sunday’, which will take place on Sunday 19th February, is an afternoon of meditation that aims to get everyone feeling much more hopeful about the year ahead.
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.”
Bath’s next ‘Soulful Sunday’ will be held on Sunday 19th February, 2.30pm – 5.30pm at the Percy Community Centre, New King Street, Bath (BA1 2BN).
As well as mantra meditation those attending will be offered a free vegetarian/vegan meal.
Nathan added: “We want to feed the body as well as the soul.
“These Soulful Sunday events are now monthly, free of charge, and anyone is welcome to attend.”
