Service Description
Meditation group for Oxford's homeless sector launched at the library in the Westgate in June 2022.
The project now officially supports the monthly LEAF meetings. Its main activity, however, is a regular group, 7.30pm Wednesday evenings.
Light refreshments, a bit of community, meet new people and meditate together for wellbeing. Free of charge in central Oxford. For beginners they offer an intro. There’s also time to ask questions about meditation and find out how to improve.
You stay in control. Develop a new life skill. Find peers. Tell the group what you’ve learned. Get peace alone. Find more calm in your life. Take your time. Join them any week. "Small changes lead to wonderful things."
Group motto: “It’s your meditation practise. You stay in control. Do what’s best for you.”
They don’t run any of the 8-week style courses. Instead they take their own unique group-based, person centred, trauma-informed, evidence based approach. More details on their website.
