FREE mindfulness and nature connection at Ellenborough Park West
2023-05-17 10:00 - 11:30 | Ellenborough park west, On the seafront Opp Revo Kitchen, Weston-super-Mare, United Kingdom
Come along to Ellenborough Park West for a FREE mindfulness session led by Steve. The sessions will be accessible for beginners and experienced participants alike and can be experienced as a one-off session or a progression over the summer.
We will begin with a short mindfulness/meditation practice to bring ourselves into the moment with a deeper awareness of ourselves. We will then take that awareness and presence out into the park to connect with and experience nature more deeply from a grounded and centered place.
Steve has worked with trees and nature for over 30 years and has practiced various spiritual disciplines for longer. His work is based on 20 years of teaching the meditations and energy work of Michael Barnett, as well as practicing healing arts and body work. He is excited to bring the two worlds together and provide a space for people to experience themselves and nature in a conscious and deeper way that will open them to the healing possibilities that being in nature can bring.
No booking required – we will meet next to the park’s noticeboard for a prompt 10:00am start. Please see the Town Council Diary for the full programme of events.

Anti-racism share and tell evening
2023-04-25 18:15 - 20:00 | Weston Museum
You are invited to attend an evening of sharing and learning with Weston’s anti-racism working group.
25th April at 6.15pm
Weston Museum, Burlington Street, BS23 1PR
RSVP to development@wsm-tc.gov.uk
In 2020, Weston-super-Mare Town Council passed an anti-racist resolution and committed to challenging racism internally and in the wider community. This resulted in the formation of the anti-racism working group: a cross-organisational forum, open to the public, where attendees could share updates, ask questions and collaborate on anti-racist initiatives.
Two-and-a-half years on, it is time to look at what has worked well, what could work better, and ultimately decide the direction the working group should take moving forwards. Though Weston-super-Mare Town Council are facilitating the group, it relies on community input – we need your ideas to make things happen!
We would be extremely grateful if you could attend our ‘share and tell’ evening at Weston Museum, starting at 6.15pm on the 25th April. We’d love to hear what everyone has been up to, and hear your ideas about what the community needs.
Whilst not essential, if you would like to bring a plate of food or something to share with the group we would be happy to receive it. Tea and coffee refreshments will be provided.
Please get in touch with development@wsm-tc.gov.uk to RSVP or ask any questions.
