By Sunday, it was time to kick off our shoes and stretch our bodies, and Jo Jeyaratnam’s morning yoga class did not disappoint. Following this wonderfully invigorating practice on the mat, it was great to still our minds and bodies and meditate using the gentle art of mindfulness, ably assisted by Dilya. She’s the founder of the Mindful Globe project, which is a not-for-profit movement that promotes the concept of mindfulness: a way of finding harmony through being fully engaged in the present moment, so that you can handle whatever is in that moment. Mindfulness can have a powerful and positive impact on your perception of life’s challenges – and we all need a bit of help with that right now.
All the events were ‘pay what you feel’ and we hugely appreciate all the money raised. Every donation helps to make Refugee Cafe’s mission a reality.
The events were, creative. inclusive. and, in the case of that delicious baba ganoush, addictive. It was a great week!
Thanks to everyone who helped make it happen, and who participated in the events. To find out more about the wonderful people and organisations who gave us their time and skills to put this programme together, follow these links:
