Introduction to Mindfulness with Rebecca (Peasholm Park, Scarborough)

Location Community Room, Peasholm Park, Scarborough

If you do not know where the community room is, you can ring us on the day and we will meet you at the park entrance.

Join us for a four-hour fun workshop funded by Better Connect, specifically for participants in North Yorkshire who are willing to sign up to Step Up or are already engaged in Rise to Thrive programmes. Read on to find out how to sign up.

SLOW DOWN AND NOTICE YOUR SENSES; think about the relationship between mindfulness, photography, craft and walking as we enjoy a simple day together.

Join Rebecca as she supports you to explore the principles of mindful photography.

What else will we do?

We will try some simple crafts together in a supportive environment.

We will use simple video capture and photography on mobile phones.

We will take a short walk around the park, if people are happy with the distance, we will extend this walk to the beach.

We will listen to the sounds around us and consider how well we do actually listen.
