Meditation Teacher Bringing Winter Solstice Event To Brading

An Isle of Wight based Transcendental Meditation (TM) teacher is hosting a free to attend Winter Solstice event at Brading's Roman Villa.

Will Treend will lead the unity-themed event at Brading Roman Villa on Tuesday, December 21, from midday.

Meditators of any experience are welcome to join, along with those who have never meditated and are interested in finding more peace in their lives.

The day will include a mind settling technique, meditation practice, some short videos, and talks from a variety of speakers.


Will, who has more than 20 years of teaching experience, said:

"TM allows us to reach the state of least excitation for mind and body.

"Unlike mindfulness, which is concerned with trying to calm surface value — the mind working on the mind, so still in action mode — TM allows the brain to go into an idling mode, taking a blissful and rejuvenating mental bath that results in deep rest.

"If you don't go within, you go without."

The event is free to attend, although donations towards the cost of the room will be welcomed.
