Relational Spaces is pleased to invite you to these online sessions on mindfulness. As well as the obvious benefits of mindfulness during these uncertain times, there is considerable evidence that suggests engaging in mindfulness meditation may influence physical health and may also favourably influence the immune system. And, of course, this is also a chance to be in quiet connection with other members of the RS Community. So please do join us for these well-timed antidotes to our potential current digital overloads…

From Estelle:
For a number of years, I’ve been enjoying the benefits of practising mindfulness and love to encourage others through running group sessions.
Although not wanting to add to the potential online overload we all face, I believe coming together to practise mindful breathing and relaxation enables us to make choices that help life to continue as healthily as possible despite fluctuating world events. It certainly encourages me to show compassion towards myself and others.
I offer a 60-minute mindfulness live group practice when we focus our attention on breathing mindfully, and notice our body’s responses, thoughts and feelings. The sessions usually include a time of listening to music and visual mindfulness, as well as guided meditation. All sessions are underpinned with the foundations of compassion, self-care, non-judgement, gentle humour, and simply taking a space to be for a while.
Let me introduce myself – I’m particularly interested in how our physical, mental and spiritual health connect and influence our wellbeing. I am an experienced therapeutic group facilitator, having worked in the NHS, training adults in the field of counselling, mental health and pastoral care. I also worked for 25 years as a counsellor, psychotherapist and supervisor. I now run informal groups encouraging mindfulness practice.
I very much look forward to meeting you.

During the call
Things that will help you during the call:
- Please make sure you have a comfortable private space where you’ll be undisturbed.
- Have a drink by your side.
- Turn off any programs on your computer that could reduce your bandwidth or distract with notification sounds – programs like Messenger, email, Word, Dropbox, and so on.
- Ask others in your house not use the internet if possible in ways that will restrict your bandwidth (like uploading or downloading files, playing games or streaming films, as these things can affect your connection).
- Turn off your mobile devices and ask your household not to disturb you.
All of the above of course within reason!

Dear Mindfulness Friend,
I love sharing the mindfulness practice sessions with you, and do not charge for this, but invite you to donate to my JustGiving page, or your chosen charity. However, please don’t feel under any obligation to do this – simply providing you with the space to practise mindfulness is my primary aim.
I am fundraising for UK for UNHCR, and they would really appreciate your support. The work they do helps people across the world who have been displaced from their homes and have no means of supporting themselves.
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to ‘UK for UNHCR’, so it’s the most efficient way to give – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
Thank you,
Estelle.
Donate to UK for UNHCR through Estelle’s page on JustGiving
Warm regards,
Dianne and Doron
