We enjoyed a serene meeting last Monday and tried our hand at mindful meditation despite the distractions of meeting in a pub!

The scented candle and good will helped us all to relax and focus at the same time and quite a few decided they would give mindfulness a go and try a bit more of it if they were already doing some.

What a great way to start 2016!

Would recommend the free exhibition on Tibet about mindfulness, meditation and how it can help overall health opposite Euston Station

Tibet’s Secret Temple
