UK Lottery Funds Meditation in the Park 2011

On Sunday, June 26th 2011, an estimated 2500 people will come along to Meditation in the Park in one of London's best kept secrets, Russia Dock Woodland (SE16 zone 2, Jubilee and Overground lines), an ecological park built on top of the old South London docks which boasts Green Flag status and the nearest Kingfisher and Pyramidal Orchard to central London.

The event is not just about meditation but also has a strong emphasis on education about natural homemade foods and honouring urban green spaces. Activities to join include:
  • Instruction in simple and effective yoga, breathing and meditation techniques from experienced expert instructors
  • Cheese, yoghurt and pasta making demonstrations

  • Specialised mini-workshops such as Yoga for cyclists, Silver Age Yoga, Children's Yoga, Stress Relief

The format is similar to a village fete where participants are free to pick and choose which activities they would like to try. There is plenty to do for people of all backgrounds, ages and fitness levels. The only requirement is to bring a homemade picnic in order to win one of the many prizes which include gourmet fruits, breads, olive oils and other foods from Borough Market and quality kitchen appliances from Tesco.
