INTRODUCTION TO BREATHWORK

INTRODUCTION TO BREATHWORK
Preston Village Hall, Thursday 11th May, 6.30 – 7.30pm

 

An informative and practical mini-workshop to introduce you to some simple yet powerful breathing techniques.

Consciously changing the way you breathe can significantly improve your health. In particular it helps to:

Reduce anxiety and stress (almost magically for many people)
Reduce blood pressure
Improve sleep
Improve digestion
Balance mood / energy
Increase mental focus

The workshop will give you the tools and knowledge to improve your own breathing. By understanding some of the science, you will learn what effects the way you breathe has on your body and why conscious breathing is so important for your health.

To be as accessible as possible, this event is by donation; just pay at the end an amount you feel you can afford, and which reflects the value you have got from the workshop.

I have attached a flyer should you wish to print this information out or wish to share it with others.

Breathwork workshop flyer – P. Rubinstein

If you’d like to attend, please contact me to reserve a place.

CORONATION PAINTING

You will all be thrilled to hear that Keith has happily agreed to paint a picture to commemorate the Coronation celebrations.

We are proposing that photographs are taken on the day and he will use one of these (that we choose between us) as his inspiration.

The painting will be done after the event and over the summer, then  framed with a dedication and hung in the village hall.  Fantastic!!!

Is there anyone who could take some really good photos on the day?

Thank you Keith and to John for his excellent idea.

CHARLES III CORONATION – VILLAGE PROGRAMME EVENT

Here is an update on our plans for the Coronation!

The outline plan below is progressing well and you will all receive a flyer through your letterbox this week, with final details!

There is one change to be noted following feedback: many people prefer to ‘bring their own’ picnic (as per the Platinum Jubilee) rather than a bring and share. So the Village Lunch 12:00 – 4:00 pm will now be bring your own (and of course you can always share with your party!)

Please let me know how many of you will be attending so we have an idea of numbers.

Also can you let Dave Roome or me know how many you would like to attend and enter the quiz.

All we need now is SUNSHINE!

The outline plan is as follows:

Friday 5 May –  A Royal Quiz
4 rounds of 15 questions of which 1 is played music. Not a long evening, just nibbles and bring your own drink. £10 per head, all proceeds to Ukraine.

R1 Royal Family past and present
R2 Our Sporting Nation
R3 Great Britain, places & people
R4 Played music with Royal / Great Britain themes

Sunday 7 May – Village Share Lunch 12 – 4pm
A lunch based in and around the Village Hall/grounds and street party style down Main Street (temporary road closure to be agreed, as per the Platinum Jubilee)

Details to be announced, but based on everyone bringing their own dish, plus your own crockery and drinks.
Tea/coffee/squash provided

Red/white/blue/gold dress (optional)
Crown/Tiara competition + prizes
Games for adults and children
Music

Other activities to be confirmed and/or finalised include:
A village photograph taken on the day
A piece of artwork to Commemorate the occasion
An ornamental and traditional village sign featuring the village and the coronation
Oak tree planting on the Village Playing Field (date tbc)

Monday 8 May – The Big Help Out
Volunteers are sought for, for any jobs that need doing around the village.
Please contact Debra Thatcher for details.

An organised wet weather plan will be in place!

Please contact me (Annie) if you can offer help of any kind – small or large. This might include serving tea on the day; setting up/clearing away; mowing, if needed; loan of outdoor games equipment; use of a drone for photographs, music playlist or amplifier etc…

This will be a special occasion for our lovely community to take part in and we hope that you will be able to attend. Please look out for detailed plans in the Parish magazine; on the village and church noticeboards; the Parish Council website and the neighbourhood WhatsApp. There will also be flyers delivered to each household.

For seating purposes, it will be helpful to know numbers, so if you are able to join in, please R.S.V.P. to
