Mindfulness matters

Posted on by

mindfulness 2Back in April, Newark’s Balance Studio hosted a free screening of the film The Connection – Mind Your Body.

It marked the launch of Sue Cooper’s Community Health and Wellbeing initiative and this Saturday she’ll be in the studio telling the Girls Around Town all about it.

Along with Philippa Burnett from Balance, Sue will be talking about the direct connection between our minds and our bodies and how we can benefit by integrating the latest science in mind-body medicine into our everyday lives.

Join June, Tina, Sue and their two guests from 10am till 1pm on Saturday, on air or online, to find out just how much mindfulness really matters…

In the spirit of things

Browse among stalls offering everything from candles to coffee bean readers, reiki to runes and much, much more. And while you do it, you’ll be contributing to a fund-raising effort to help 14 year-old Mia Jarvis take part in her World Challenge in Africa next year.

Sunday’s show is the first in a series of events planned for 2015, aimed at helping to raise the £4,000 Mia needs in order to spend a month in Zambia and Botswana working on long-term projects for communities there.

You can follow Mia’s progress towards the challenge on her Facebook page and meet her in person on Sunday – rumour has it she’ll be lending a hand behind the tea bar!

The Mind, Body and Spirit Show is open from 10am to 4pm, you’ll find the village hall on Ruby’s Way in Fernwood and admission is just £4 with all proceeds going to help fund Mia’s challenge.

Turn on, tune in – the girls are back!

listening inEveryone else may be counting down to Christmas right now but the Girls Around Town have their eyes on a very different deadline…

In just over 24 hours, June, Tina and Sue will be back behind the microphones for the first of four shows in November and December. It’s been over six months since they were last on air with Radio Newark, so chances are they’ll have plenty to say!

Deborah Garlick, Nadine Cooper and Pam Burrows will all be joining them in the studio between 10am and 1pm on Saturday, to talk about ‘the wisdom of women’ – no shortage of material there then…

With such a broad subject to tackle, expect anything and everything from the serious to the strange. Did someone mention nipple cream? You’ll have to tune in to 87.7fm to find out what that’s all about!

Not in or near Newark on Saturday? No problem – listen live at www.radionewark.co.uk – and why not share your own pearls of wisdom with the girls, via their Facebook page. They’d love to hear some of your favourites…
