Monday Mindfulness - Our Why

At Leeds Sanctuary, one of our core values is Flourishing. Monday Mindfulness is a safe space in which this practice can be learnt and nurtured, and we hope that the techniques learnt will support the people who attend to become more fully who they are called to be.

In John 10:10, Jesus tells us that he came “so that [we] may have life, and have it to the full.” We strongly believe that the flourishing Jesus offers is available to everyone, but we also know all too well that life is filled with challenges that can be very good at stopping us. In the busy-ness of life, it can be very hard to acknowledge and process stress, anxiety, unhealthy thoughts, etc, and we believe that Monday Mindfulness is a good opportunity to take time to learn and practice techniques which can help us.

Our heritage as a Methodist charity also calls us to help others learn and grow, through mutual support and care.
