SILENT SPACE / EVERY MONDAY / POLESDEN LACEY, GREAT BOOKHAM
Some of us need more space than others, and some of us can’t seem to find a place that provides the calm we need for our minds to get away for a while. So find space to breathe this month and head for Polesden Lacey’s Silent Space every Monday afternoon. A dedicated space for peace and quiet amongst the raging storm that life can sometimes bring.

COMPASSIONATE MINDFUL RESILIENCE / OCTOBER 14 / ZERO CARBON, GUILDFORD
No doubt about it – it’s pretty tough out there, isn’t it?

Take away simple but powerful tools to help support you in your daily life.
