Volunteer Needed to Lead Meditation Sessions – Mill Hill East
We are looking for a volunteer to lead meditation sessions for tenants at our building in Mill Hill East. The aim is to provide tenants with an opportunity to relax, take some time for themselves and enjoy the benefits of mindfulness and meditation in a calm and welcoming environment.
The volunteer would help organise and facilitate regular sessions, guiding tenants through simple meditation or relaxation techniques and encouraging them to take part at their own pace. Sessions could provide an opportunity for tenants to pause, unwind and enjoy a little peace and quiet as part of their daily routine.
We are looking for someone who has an interest in meditation and enjoys sharing its benefits with others. Previous experience of leading meditation or mindfulness sessions would be beneficial, and the volunteer should feel comfortable guiding a small group in a relaxed and supportive setting.
Application process (application form, references etc.) and a DBS check will be required before volunteering can commence. JBD will apply for the DBS on the volunteer's behalf.
