Developing authentic peace within our mind

Why meditate?

Meditation offers many benefits, including reduced stress and anxiety, increased inner peace, improved concentration, and a more positive outlook on life.

It also enhances emotional well-being, leading to better relationships and a greater sense of happiness and contentment.

These sessions are relaxed and suitable for everyone. No experience necessary. Sessions include guided meditations and a short talk with room for Q&A.

This event is part of the Waterside Together Festival 2025! Come one, come all as we celebrate the wealth and breadth of green spaces that the Waterside has to offer. For a week in September, let’s forget our differences, as we celebrate a new era of what it means to live in the Waterside.

About Waterside Together

Waterside Together is a shared green spaces events and festival project which aims to reanimate spaces that are perceived as belonging to the ‘other community’, transforming them into areas that are open, welcoming, and safe for all members of the Waterside community. Programmes will be delivered in parks, greenways and community spaces, targeting a range of participants including families, children and young people, older people, and members of the BAME community. Part of the programme will be a shared spaces festival that promotes the collective usage of the green infrastructure in the Waterside and which encourages the movement of people to areas that they would not usually use for recreational purposes.
