Feeling on edge lately?

If it’s peace and balance you’re after, grab a cushion and head for Fitzgerald’s Park this Sunday, June 25th, 2023.

Meditation in the Park, a free event guided by Buddhist nun Kelsang Drolma, takes place from 11.30am – 12.10pm in the park’s Band Stand area on the Mardyke.

Meditation has been shown to have numerous benefits, including reducing stress, improving focus and concentration, and promoting a sense of calm and wellbeing. Whether you believe in it or not, at the very least it’s a lovely excuse to sit in silence in the great outdoors for half an hour.

If you’re looking for a way to de-stress without breaking the bank, you’re in luck: you don’t need any previous experience with meditation to participate, you’ll be guided through a series of exercises designed to help you chill out and focus your mind.

“We all need some time out to refresh, unwind, relax, and enjoy some mental space. Bring along a cushion, mat, or chair if you wish to be more comfortable.” say the organisers.

Fitzgerald Park is fully accessible for wheelchair users. You can book your free spot here.
