In this group, you will be offered a variety of Deep Relaxation, Mindfulness and compassion focused practices, many of which are supported by a library of free MP3s , which means you can just settle into the experience of the practices without having to try to remember them! You can just come and be. Be warm, be still, be welcome and be present in the gift of each moment.
