Spirituality Social - Interested in all things spiritual? Come along!

I was set a challenge by Hayden Crawford of Dreemtime Academy during one of his courses, to get myself out there and meet some peeps interested in the spiritual side of life. I checked out local meetups, but they didn't seem to be quite what I was looking for. So, it got me wondering what can I do to set up a group?

Luckily, I live near an amazing place called the The Sanctuary of Healing. I got in touch with the manager to ask if they'd be interested in the idea of hosting a group and they were!

Why did I want to set up the group?

Well, during those past two years of you know what, I found an interest in meditation, it helped me a lot. I used the Calm app and completed their 30-day meditation challenge. I found myself learning about crystals, listening the binaural beats (have a read of my previous blog to learn more about this type of music) and just generally through watching content on YouTube and reading books, finding myself having the realisation and acceptance that there's much more to this world than just the 3D we experience with our senses. I'd also experienced some what you might describe as 'other worldly' things (more about those in another blog) myself over the past 10 years, which I feel were all designed to 'wake me up' to this new awareness.

I thought, wow, who can I talk to about all this stuff? My friends will possibly think I'm just a bit weird. I didn't know anyone interested in these topics. I realised if I felt this way, others must do too so it'd be great to get people together who want to have a brew and a chat and also learn about all things mystical, metaphysical and generally spiritual.

Well what is spirituality?

Here's a great definition by Oxford Dictionary that resonates with me -

The quality of being concerned with the human spirit or soul as opposed to material or physical things.

Over the past two years, I've learned so much and I feel it's made me a better person for example, not reacting to things, but responding instead, looking after my wellbeing through taking time each day to meditate and chill out, healing old traumas (with the support of relevant coaches and therapists) and that we can create our reality through our thoughts. That's another one for a future blog.

Anyway, if you live locally, it'd be great to see you at the event. Session one is just a get to know each other, find out what people are interested in learning about, so that we can plan for future sessions. The Sanctuary of Healing has many amazing coaches and therapists who are going to support the event, each month we'll have a different speaker talking about a topic e.g. crystals or meditation.

If you'd like to make some new friends and enjoy a space where you can chat about spiritual topics, then come along.

To book please call 01254 246940 or email academy@thesanctuaryofhealing.co.uk.

Hope to see you there!
