The Dispensary

The Dispensary Dispensing good health in Whitby since 2012. A community health initiative based on Skinner Street! The Dispensary is not what you would imagine.
(1)

It’s more than just a health shop; it’s a futurehealth shop. What’s the point of nurturing your body if your job or your environment is making you sick? Or, you feel you have no voice in your community, or you can’t meet with people or take part in activities which you feel give you meaning. Future health is about social, economic and cultural health as well as the purely physical. The Dispensary Dividend:

Everyone who registers with The Dispensary can get a Dispensary Dividend Card or number (if you live outside Whitby) which enables you to earn 5% credit on every purchase you make online or in our shop. You can redeem this credit back against future purchases - so why not make use of it regularly to give yourself some money. Or, save your Dividends over time and treat yourself once in a while!

Our friends at Nature's Laboratory Ltd had a fantastic Discovery Day on Saturday!

We had a fantastic Discovery Day here at Nature's Laboratory on Saturday! The weather stayed fine and we welcomed lots of people keen to find out what we do here at Enterprise Way. Our guests were given guided tours of our factory, shown how we make natural medicines, saw our lab and found out about our local and global research and listened to talks on Three dimensional health by our CEO James Fearnley and on Herbal Medicine by our director of herbal medicine Dylan Parry. There was plenty of time for Q and As and discussions and then our guests were treated to a herbal tea or coffee and cake, with a free goodie bag of our product samples and info to take away with them. Pictured are some of our lovely staff team with some of our lovely guests! :)

Thursday 21st August 7 - 8pm
AN EVENING WITH LAMA LHAKPA YESHE
At BeeArc Hives of Activity, The Reading Room, The Green, Goathland.
Join us for an extraordinary opportunity to hear the life story of Lama Lhakpa Yeshe, a Tibetan Buddhist monk whose journey spans from his early life in Tibet to his life today as a teacher of Buddhism.
With humility, warmth, and wisdom, Lama will share his personal path—offering insights into his life, Buddhist practice, and the lessons learned along the way. Lama will then lead a meditation on compassion.
All are welcome, but spaces are limited so please book your space by emailing info@thedispensary.org.uk or by phoning The Dispensary on 01947 603456 or by calling into The Dispensary and leaving your name and contact details.
Lama never charges for his teachings, but donations, if desired, are welcome on the evening.
Come with an open heart, and leave with inspiration!
* The Reading Room is a single story red brick building in Goathland after the Inn on the Moor, on the right and before the NYMNP car park.
