Fantastic mindfulness meditation workshop. Really great for a beginner like me! Thanks so much, I'll be back :)

Really enjoyed the evening! Lovely group of people and Amelia is very nice. The only think I would say is it ends quite late and getting home at 11pm is quite tiring!The event itself is very much worth doing - very relaxing!

I really enjoyed the class it was so relaxing the environment was energetic and lovely and Amelia was very sweet.I totally lost myself in the drawing and managed to switch off which is amazing!I think il be drawing more mandalas soon!!Thank you
