The Regular Breathe meditation sessions on Monday evenings invite reflection on spiritual writings from various traditions, and using music, poetry and silence to create space for contemplative connection with the spirit. This short service will follow a common format but each time, we’ll use different music, poems and readings and contemplative practices from various traditions.

Register here and please aim to arrive at 5.45 to settle in before the meditation starts.
