Tibetan Singing Bowl Meditation

Sue Martin leads a Tibetan singing bowl meditation at Salisbury Arts Centre on Thursday 11 February, starting at 7:00pm. It's set up as an introduction for anyone new to meditation, so you don't need to have done this before to come along. The session works around the bowls themselves: the gentle, continuous tones are meant to encourage relaxation, lower stress hormones and help you find a bit of calm and focus.

Sue Martin brings a fair bit of experience to the room. She's an artist and cultural practitioner who has been practising Buddhism for around ten years, and she uses singing bowl meditation as a complementary relaxation technique in her art workshops across Wiltshire and within the UK's Criminal Justice System. The practice is widely regarded for its therapeutic potential, with regular engagement shown to reduce everyday stress and anxiety.

The evening is part of the 'Take Part' / 'Creative People in Creative Spaces' programme at Salisbury Arts Centre, run by the Take Part team at Wiltshire Creative alongside a local community of artists and practitioners. The wider programme covers performing arts, visual arts, writing and meditation, and is designed to build confidence, encourage self-expression and offer time to pause, reflect and connect with others.

If you've been wanting to try meditation but weren't sure where to start, this is a straightforward way in. It's on Thursday 11 February at Salisbury Arts Centre, starting at 7:00pm.
