🧘‍♂️ Sound Bath & Wellness Session – Are You Up for Trying Something New?

This month, we're doing something a little different...

Back in July, we ran this session with our women's groups, and the feedback was incredible. Many of the ladies had never experienced a sound bath before, but they absolutely loved it and said they would definitely come again.

So now it's over to the men... Are you up for the challenge of trying something new that could help you relax and unwind?

A sound bath isn't a bath with water! Instead, it's a deeply relaxing experience where you simply lie down, get comfortable and listen to the soothing sounds and vibrations created by instruments such as singing bowls, gongs and chimes.

The gentle vibrations are believed to help calm the mind, reduce stress and encourage deep relaxation. Many people say they leave feeling refreshed, clearer-headed and more at ease. You don't need any previous experience – just an open mind and a willingness to give it a go.

The session will begin with a short, informal talk about holistic therapies, what they are, how they work and the benefits they can offer. You'll then be guided into the sound bath, where you can simply relax and enjoy the experience.

What to bring:

• A yoga mat or exercise mat to lie on (recommended)
• A blanket to keep warm and cosy
• A cushion for extra comfort

These aren't essential, but they will help you get as comfortable as possible so you can fully relax.

Whether you're curious, looking for a way to switch off for an hour, or simply fancy trying something completely different, we'd love you to come along.

Why not give it a go? You might just surprise yourself!

This group is made possible thanks to Point North and the Enriching Later Lives Fund. The aim is to create a relaxed space where men can get together, try new hobbies, share a laugh, and maybe even discover a new passion to take into later life.

The group is still a blank canvas — we'll continue shaping future sessions around the activities you'd like to try.

The group is free for men aged 40+.

So why not come along, have a go, meet some great people, and see if you've got what it takes to hit the bullseye? We'd love to see you there!
