๐ŸƒOur Connect and Flourish is back today from 10.30am.

Join James for a gentle and welcoming morning of mindfulness as we explore the role of judgement in our daily lives.

So often we find ourselves judging our thoughts, emotions, ourselves, or othersโ€”often without even noticing. Through guided mindfulness practices, reflection, and discussion, we'll learn how to recognise these patterns with kindness and curiosity, creating space for greater self-awareness, compassion, and ease.
Whether you're new to mindfulness or have an established practice, this morning offers an opportunity to pause, reconnect, and discover a more accepting way of being.

Enjoy time for reflection, discussion, and exploration.
This is a welcoming space to pause, breathe, and reconnect with yourself and others.
Come as you are.
Connect, Explore, Reflect & Flourish
