Posted on | February 26, 2011 | No Comments
Every Tuesday 5.30-6pm, starting on March 1st
Before you head home or out… Unwind in peace
Find stillness and space to breath Given peace… … you could feel things different
Can you imagine a group of people in Norwich offering the public thirty minutes of nothing at all? The Norwich Quaker Meeting is doing something similar. The idea is to offer members of the public half an hour of silence as a way of helping them to recover after a hectic day, whether at work or shopping or looking after children. The idea is to simply create a bit of space in which to collect yourself again‘Silence is becoming a pretty scarce commodity in modern times, what with mobile phones, continuous social networking and non-stop demands from from others around us,’ said Deb Arrowsmith, of Norwich Quaker Meeting. ‘People will appreciate an oasis of stillness at the end of the afternoon, helping them to get more out of the rest of their day.‘
What we’re offering people is not a religious service but simple peace and quiet… literally being ‘Still in the City‘
Norwich Quakers will be creating this ‘breathiang space’ for the public every Tuesday from 5.30 to 6pm
starting on Tuesday 1st March. There will be tea, coffee and chat afterwards for those who wish it.
This will take place at the Norwich Quaker Meeting House, which is in Upper Goat Lane between Pottergate and St. Giles Street, by the City Hall clock tower, just a couple of minutes from Norwich Market.
