The aim of meditation is to bring inner peace within ourselves and the world in a positive and spiritual way. The world is not a peaceful place and within every soul, there is some form of stress or stress and tension. It is essential to create positive and peaceful thoughts to bring peace of mind. The best way to begin the healing process is to alter our thoughts from being negative to positive. The positive discovery about meditation is that we are focusing on our self and becoming free of negativity.

Every Wednesday we host a parent and toddler group aimed at brining parents together for 2 hours of socialising and play with their babies.

Our Wednesday group is our smaller group, designed for children and parents who don't like crowds and is limited to 4 sets (parent and tot) per week. We also run this activity on a Friday where we are open to walk-ins and accept a larger number of people in.
