This month we will be enjoying an evening of calm, serenity and restoration with a guided sound bath meditation. During the session, a range of instruments including drums, gongs, singing bowls and chimes are used to create a sound journey that can bring about a semi-dream like state, with soothing vibrations that can slow down brain wave activity to a state of deep relaxation. Gentle percussion, towards the end, helps to awaken and ground you, leaving you feeling refreshed and ready to continue the rest of your day. This is a members only event due to the numbers that can be accommodated in our meeting hall.

Join us for a relaxed and entertaining talk and gin tasting with The Gin Journey.

Visitors and non-members are very welcome with a £17 charge for this event. The ticket price includes all the gins, tonics and of course the experience.
