Lunchbreak meditation and the healing art of reiki are just two of the therapies on offer at a new community ‘pay what you can’ wellness project which has opened in Wimborne.
Circle Meditation Centre, a community-focused enterprise designed to bring together alternative health practitioners with the people who need them the most, is the vision of social entrepreneur Samantha Bird.
“I want to provide a space that allows practitioners to practice and the community to access help, with both parties operating on a ‘pay what you can’ transactional understanding, removing the block of money from the equation,” she said.
“This fulfils two functions – it makes help accessible and affordable to everyone, and allows practitioners to build their client base and their reputation.”
Circle, in Quarterjack Mews, will be providing an array of meditation sessions each day, including a ‘lunchbreak’ meditation which will give local people the chance to step away from their busy lives for a 15-minute oasis of calm, said Samantha, who is a meditation teacher, life coach and herbalist
The timetable also includes reiki and meditation for mums with Nina Dixon of Mother Nurture UK, and Kundalini yoga workshops led by Leah Morgan of StillWeRiseCoaching.
“My aim is to grow as a community of healers and to support each other to bring health and healing to as many people as we can,” said Samantha.
“I’d like Circle to become a living directory of people whose lives are focused on helping others, so no matter who is looking for advice, they will be able to find the right person among us to help them.”
