If you are heading to the East Finchley Festival this Sunday, come and find me.

I will be there from 12.30-1pm offering a free guided meditation session.

This is a chance to step away from the bustle of the festival for a few quiet minutes and simply breathe.

East Finchley Festival is a wonderful community event, and I am so looking forward to being part of it.

If you've been curious about meditation and have never quite found the moment to try it, this is the gentlest possible introduction…completely free and right on the doorstep.

Come and say hello - I would love to see you there 💕
