Festive Relaxation and Soundbath at the Oak House: Sunday 1 December 11:30-12:30pm. As we move into the festive period our lives can become busier and more chaotic, when actually what we might need is more rest and hibernation. In this session at the Oak House West Bromwich, you will be guided through a gentle meditation, leaving you open to receiving the relaxing sounds of Tibetan singing bowls, crystal bowls, drums, and gongs. You may leave feeling calmer and refreshed in body and mind. Afterwards you are invited to celebrate the festive period and stay for hot drinks and cake. Yoga mats and some blankets will be provided, but please bring a pillow, additional blankets and whatever you need to get comfortable resting on the floor. If you do not feel comfortable on the floor, chairs can be provided.  Suitable for older children and adults. £10.00 per person.
