Mindfulness and Meditation: What’s it all about?

Severn Valley Country Park is working with fully qualified ‘British School of Meditation’ teacher, Mandy Clarke to unravel the mysteries of mindfulness and mediation to their visitors.

Research has shown that people’s day-to-day busy lifestyles could benefit from taking time to de-stress through mindfulness and meditation. It is said it is essential for personal wellbeing to take a few minutes each day to achieve a positive mind-body balance which will help people cope better with causes of stress and anxiety.

During the course, to be held on Saturday 17th February, Mrs Clarke will help visitors discover the benefits of mindfulness and as well as help them to learn a variety of meditation techniques.
