About The Afternoon

On Saturday 11th May 2019 the Nottingham Mindfulness Group will be hosting a FREE Mass Meditation event in the Nottingham city centre - as part of the UK-wide and international Moments of Mass Mindfulness initiative.

And we are delighted to announce that this uplifting afternoon of Mindfulness teaching, expert guest speakers, periods of guided meditation, and blissful relaxation will be led for us by TWO very special guests, the hugely popular and internationally acclaimed Mindfulness teachers...

Sarah McLean
author of 'Soul Centered' and 'The Power of Attention'
and
Suryacitta
author of 'Happiness and How It Happens' and 'A Mindful Life'

Both Sarah and Suryacitta are leading figures on the worldwide Mindfulness scene. Each teaches Mindfulness and meditation all over the world (in the USA, Australia, and Europe as well as the UK) and both are noted teachers and mentors of other Mindfulness teachers. During the afternoon Sarah and Suryacitta will both give short talks about Mindfulness and meditation, and they will lead us in two separate 20 minute periods of guided meditation.

In addition, the afternoon will also include other teaching and guidance on Mindfulness, some other short periods of group meditation, plus lots more! (Keep your eye on this space for extra details and regular news updates as the event itself draws near.)

Between 12 noon and 1pm we will all join together in a special period of mediation that is synchronised with the other MOMM events happening elsewhere in the UK on that day - large gatherings of people meditating  simultaneously in major cities and small towns and villages all over Britain.

So come along and join us - and be part of this unique, nation-wide meditation event!

Important - Mindfulness and other forms of meditation are safe and appropriate practices for the vast majority of people and they are proven to offer a wide range of benefits, including the lowering of stress and deep levels of relaxation. However current research indicates that all forms of meditation (including Mindfulness) may be unwise for people with bipolar vulnerability or those who are suffering from Post Traumatic Stress (PTSD) unless it is conducted under clinical supervision. If you are currently receiving treatment for any form of mental health issue (or have received such treatment in the recent past, or have reason to believe that you might need such treatment), you should consult your doctor or health care professional before engaging with Mindfulness or any form of meditation. It is also unwise to engage with meditation or Mindfulness for the first time if you have recently been bereaved.
