We have already booked the market square for this event so that we are able to have a co-ordination point, informing and directing the people of the town to all the various events taking place on this day (which is where you come in), to hold a series of ‘Flash’ Meditations at 10am, 1pm and 4pm for all those present to join in with. Hopefully we will also have a series of yoga, tai chi, chi kung and other demonstrations taking place throughout the day to demonstrate their meditative and health benefits.

We are also going to approach all of the town centre businesses who are open on that saturday and ask them to join us for a one minute silent meditation at 1pm and try to get as much of the town centre involved in this as possible.

What we are asking is for you to offer to provide a programme of meditation or contemplation on that day, from whatever tradition you represent. You have totally free reign to put on whatever you would like in terms of content and we would be grateful if you can do any amount from a single sitting to a whole day programme. The important thing is you are doing meditation on that day with all of us who are involved.

Although the event is for charity we are only asking you to donate what you feel is reasonable from whatever you take on this day. We shall for example be donating all profits made from the event to charity, but as with the programme you offer, the choice is yours.

We will put the details of whatever events you are offering in a programme to distributed freely from each events location and from the co-ordinating tent in the market square. There will also be a dedicated page on the integralhealthshrewsbury.com website with all the details of the events and the providers.

We are also looking for yoga and tai chi/chi kung and other teachers to offer to do some demonstration in the square at various points in the day, again this could include anything that you feel has a fair relationship to meditation and contemplation.

If you feel you can support this event and become part of the first all tradition Meditation for Health Day in Shrewsbury, then please reply to me and let me know what you can offer, even if its something very simple, all support will be welcome. If you know of any individual or organisation in the town who you think would be interested in taking part then please share this email and let them know.

Also if you are not interested in taking part, please can you let me know so I can remove you from our database.

I look forward to us all working closer together towards a shared goal of improving the health of the town and its people.

Best wishes
