WOMEN’S MINDFUL CIRCLE

PAUSE, BREATHE, RECONNECT

On the first Thursday of each month, we’ll gather at Central United Church in Clifton for a soulful hour of connection, mindfulness, and presence.

Together, we’ll sip warm herbal tea and ease into nourishing practices—such as mindful breathing, guided meditation, and gentle reflection—each month exploring a new theme to support your well-being and inner journey. Sharing in the circle is always welcome, but never expected.

This is your time to slow down, breathe deeply, and realign with yourself and others in a supportive and heartfelt way.

Beginners are warmly welcome—no experience required.

PLEASE BRING: Your favourite mug, yoga mat (optional), pillow or cushion, and a cozy blanket to create your own comfortable space. Chairs are available if sitting on the floor isn’t comfortable for you.

A $5 donation is kindly requested to attend.

WINTER WEATHER NOTE:
If school is cancelled due to weather on the day of our gathering, the circle will be cancelled as well.
