    Everybody is very welcome to join our weekly Mindfulness meditation group practice sessions, whether you practice regularly or you're curious about Mindfulness and it's your first time regardless of what your knowledge or experience is of mindfulness, you can drop in to meet others who practice mindfulness and meditation. Mindfulness is a very simple form of meditation. It teaches people how to be present in the moment and break away from negative thought patterns that exacerbate stress, anxiety and depression and so much more. Giving people the tools to replace negative thought patterns with positive. Mindfulness is about observation without criticism; being kind and compassionate with yourself. Over time, mindfulness brings about long-term changes in mood and levels of happiness and wellbeing. Scientific studies have shown that mindfulness not only prevents depression, but that it also positively affects the brain patterns underlying day-to-day anxiety, stress, depression and irritability so that when they arise, they dissolve away again more easily.
