Learning, Listening and Meditation - free events

As Oxford emerges tentatively from lockdown, meeting friends and colleagues face-to-face again may come with a certain level of apprehension for some. The importance of listening carefully and with intention couldn’t be more important. It is also more important than ever to take time to look after ourselves.

Oxford Samaritans are delighted to offer two short sessions to help people to escape the busy working day, be compassionate to themselves and develop some new skills.

Sign up for these free events (voluntary donations welcome).

On the 19th May one of Oxford Samaritans experienced listeners will host a 20-minute lunchtime session, ‘Listening skills after lockdown’, guiding attendees through some key techniques for good listening. 

On May the 21st, to mark World Meditation Day, a second event will offer people the chance to explore new techniques for their wellbeing. ‘An introduction to meditation’ will be another short lunchtime session, this time with qualified meditator and Oxford Samaritans’ supporter, Aisling O'Malley, who will guide attendees through 20 minutes of calming meditation.
