Evening Meditation

Join facilitator Hildur Palsdottir for an evening nature-based mindfulness and meditation on the first Thursday of every month. In the Summer months, classes will be held outdoors in the Hempstead House Garden, weather permitting. With these sessions we will explore techniques specifically aimed at stress reduction.
