MINDFULNESS WITH ROLY
MONTHLY MINDFULNESS MEETING
Monthly Mindfulness offers an opportunity to pause, practise and reconnect with others in a friendly and welcoming group.
People attend from across Torbay, Totnes and the South Hams, including Torquay, Paignton, Brixham and the surrounding villages.
If you've completed an eight-week mindfulness course (or equivalent), Monthly Mindfulness offers an opportunity to continue practising in a supportive community.
By coming along to the monthly mindfulness meeting you become part of a local community of mindfulness practitioners. The group come together monthly to sit, reflect on personal practice, and to offer kindness, support and inspiration to one another as we continue on our journey of personal development.
For example, each session may start with a short sit of around 5-10 minutes, allowing us time to settle and fully arrive together. This is followed with time to check-in with each other. We then practice for around 20 mins followed by a practice reflection either around a particular theme or whatever is alive for people in the room. We then finish with another practice to end the session.
