**\*This group is advertised through multiple channels, so the number of people registered to attend is not a reflection of the number of attendees.** Welcome to Wake Up Bristol - we're an inclusive meditation and mindfulness group for young people aged 18-35, inspired by the teachings of Zen Master and peace activist, Thich Nhat Hanh. We come together every Monday evening to practice mindfulness in order to take care of ourselves, nourish happiness, and contribute to building a healthier and more compassionate society. A typical session will include a silent or guided meditation, a reading or video from one of the spiritual teachers at Plum Village, and an optional chance to dharma share. This is a practice of loving speech and deep listening which allows us to collectively embrace our feelings and emotions. The session begins promptly at 18:30 with doors open from 18:15. You don't need any prior experience to come along and we're open to people of all backgrounds, genders, faiths, sexualities, cultures and incomes - so all are welcome! \*Arrival instructions\* On arrival to the Centre of Whole Health you will see two doors at the front of the building. Please come in through the door on the left (it’s light yellow and has a step up to the door) and follow the stairs up to the hall on the first floor. The door will be opened 15 mins before the start of the group. We suggest a donation of £5 which covers the cost of hiring the hall. You can join via Zoom or in person. To access the bank details, please join our WhatsApp group by messaging Mary-Rose on 07827 966903. If you'd rather not join the WhatsApp chat, just reach out directly and we can share those details with you. You can also learn more about [the Plum Village tradition here](https://plumvillage.org/#filter=.region-eu). Please do get in touch with any questions and we look forward to welcoming you!
