VE Day in Hurstpierpoint

The residents of Wickham Hill in Hurstpierpoint decided to host a Stay at Home Street Party on Friday 8th May, as handmade flyers asked homeowners to decorate houses in red, white and blue - and then head to front gardens for 4pm.

Thank you to Catherine Tong for sending in these photos of the celebrations - albeit rather different from those that would have been planned just a couple of months ago.

Meditations to help during lockdown

Debbie Horney normally runs mindfulness courses at Randoph’s Farm in Hurst but since she isn’t able to lead group sessions during the coronavirus pandemic - she has decided to give out a number of new meditations from Remember Mindfulness to help get you through this difficult time.

I have been looking after myself with some new meditations and I would be delighted if you might like to use them too. They are as follows: 

• The STOP practice is a short grounding meditation that can be used as many times during the day to just pause and collect yourself.

• Coronavirus x calming the mind is a short grounding meditation.

• Connection practice is particularly useful to remind us we are all in this together.

• Compassion Meditation x Corona is my favourite daily practice at the moment. It brings our relationships to mind and includes a loving-kindness practice.

If you are interested in these meditations please email me and I will send you them by return.

Also, if you would like free 1-2-1 support to begin your mindfulness journey or to support your current practice, I would be pleased to help you over the telephone – contact details also below.

“I was so grateful to receive the new meditations ... I love them... the compassion one is really beautiful ... it’s so gentle ... and softened my attitude ... the connection one is deeply comforting and will be a wonderful companion throughout this season of isolation ... The STOP meditation is a fantastic breather before I sit down with a pot of tea ... it’s like a little ‘pause and return to neutral’ button! ... The meditations you have provided have become the single most important part of my day ... and are a life skill I shall always treasure ... can’t thank you enough.”
