A Happy New Year and thank you to everyone who has followed the page, come along to our meditation group or shown their support in any way. It's amazing what happens when you follow through on your ideas, so to have so many support mine has been wonderful! Strathaven and the surrounding areas are a pretty special place to be. Looking forward to getting to know many more of you in '26 whether that be through meditation or the new qigong classes.

With so many people showing an interest in the upcoming qigong classes I thought I'd create a posters to help explain the benefits of practising it regularly. Qigong can have profoundly positive effects on mental health, chronic conditions, physical health, stress levels and overall sense of wellbeing. I'll post a new info poster on each of these benefits - starting today with physical health.

Get in touch if you're interested in classes in the new year.

What a response for my Qigong taster sessions in January! I had been thinking of running ONE taster session on January 21st- but with so many people interested I'll be running THREE! So I'll be running TWO on Jan 21st, one at 630pm and another at 8pm. There will then be a third on Thursday 22nd at 8pm too- directly after the meditation class. For those coming, I'll be in touch about times in the days ahead.

So with THREE taster sessions I can offer another 5 spaces in total. Who'd like one?

Thank you so much for all the interest and enquiries. I'm looking forward to moving and breathing with you all in the New Year. 🙏

Earlier this year I started writing an A-Z guide to a contented and happy life. That's not to say that life is perfect- it's not- but there are ways to change perspective that we can all do. This first thing I thought to write about was acceptance.

A is for Acceptance
