This week Kirkstall Abbey will be giving people in Leeds a chance to enjoy some mindful moments during a series of drop-in sessions to support World Mental Health Day.
The abbey’s visitor’s centre will be hosting Leeds Mindfulness Week, a programme of free workshops in partnership with the Leeds Mindfulness and Positive Emotion Enhancement Centre.
Beginning yesterday, 10 October, and continuing in the Colonel North Room until Friday, the sessions will include Zen and meditation with the Order of Buddhist Contemplatives, an introduction to Hatha Yoga and a look at the world of Chinese physical culture with a Chi Kung expert.
