💗✨ **𝐀 𝐇𝐔𝐆𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐊 𝐘𝐎𝐔!** ✨💗

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us for our 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐁𝐚𝐭𝐡 𝐚𝐭 𝐋𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐛𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐰 𝐇𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐧𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭. What a wonderful evening, and how lovely to see so many people coming together to relax, unwind and enjoy something a little different.

A special thank you to 𝐉𝐨𝐨𝐥𝐬 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐬 of www.findhealthfreedom.co.uk for taking us on such a beautiful sound journey. 🥰

And, of course, I must apologise for our rather enthusiastic squeaky door! 😂🚪 Apparently, it felt a little left out and decided to contribute its own unique sound to the experience, perhaps we've discovered a new instrument for our next sound bath! 🎶🤣

Most importantly, thank you for supporting Stokenchurch Community Library. Every booking helps us raise valuable funds, and we really couldn't do this without you. 📚💗

I hope you all left feeling relaxed, refreshed and perhaps a little more peaceful than when you arrived.

We're already planning more lovely experiences, so watch this space! 🌸✨

𝑻𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒌 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒂𝒈𝒂𝒊𝒏 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒎𝒂𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒔𝒐 𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒄𝒊𝒂𝒍. 💗

Do these little toys belong to anyone? They have lost their owner and are currently at Stokenchurch Community Library waiting to be reunited.

📚🍷 NEW EVENT ALERT 🍷📚

Something NEW is coming to Stokenchurch Community Library: "Reading between the w**es"

Books, w**e & good company

Join us for the very first gathering of our new community reading club. Whether you are an avid reader, an occasional reader, a w**e enthusiast, or simply looking to meet new people, we would love you to come along and help shape what this club becomes.

This launch evening is all about introducing the club, sharing ideas, and gathering feedback from those who may be interested in joining us on this journey.

During the evening we will:
• Share favourite books and reading habits
• Discover and taste a couple of w**es
• Discuss ideas for future meetings
• Meet fellow readers from the village
• Create something new together for our community

There is no book to read beforehand and no w**e knowledge required. Just books, conversation, a couple of w**es to try, and the opportunity to be part of something new for our community.

And despite the name, you definitely don’t have to drink w**e! Whether your drink of choice is a glass of w**e, something alcohol-free, a soft drink or a good old cup of tea, you’ll be very welcome.


🌍 Stokenchurch Community Library
📅 Thursday 29 October

Perhaps you’ve always wanted to try one, but haven’t found anything locally?

We’re really excited to be bringing a Sound Bath Experience to Stokenchurch on 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝟏𝟐𝐭𝐡 𝐎𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐛𝐞𝐫.

Come along, get comfortable, close your eyes and allow yourself to simply relax as you’re surrounded by the beautiful sounds and vibrations of a sound bath.

Even better, all profits from the evening will go towards supporting our little community library here in Stokenchurch.

🌿 𝐒𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐬 𝐒𝐞𝐥𝐟-𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡 🌿

We can be very good at looking after everyone else — our families, friends, work and all the things that need doing — while putting ourselves somewhere near the bottom of the list.

Self-care doesn't have to mean spa days, expensive treatments or making huge changes. Sometimes it can simply mean 𝒈𝒊𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒔𝒆𝒍𝒇 𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒎𝒊𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒕𝒐 𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒑 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒂 𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒕𝒍𝒆 𝒘𝒉𝒊𝒍𝒆.

Our September meditation evening is an opportunity to do exactly that.

For just a short time, you can step away from the noise and demands of everyday life, get comfortable, close your eyes and allow yourself to simply 𝐩𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞, 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐞.

You don't need to know how to meditate, you don't need to be able to empty your mind, and you don't need any previous experience. Just come as you are. You can lie comfortably on a mat or sit on a chair if you prefer.

💗 𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗳-𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳𝗶𝘀𝗵 — 𝗶𝘁'𝘀 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱.

And while you're taking a little time to look after yourself, you'll also be helping to look after something important within our village. Your £𝟏𝟎 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐋𝐢𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐫𝐲, our wonderful volunteer-run community resource.

So perhaps this September, instead of telling yourself "𝐼 𝑑𝑜𝑛'𝑡 ℎ𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒", give yourself permission to say:

"𝙄'𝙢 𝙜𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙤 𝙢𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙖 𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙩𝙡𝙚 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙢𝙚." 🌿

Our September meditation sessions are on 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝟐𝟏𝐬𝐭 𝐒𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫, with separate sessions at 𝟕.𝟑𝟎𝐩𝐦 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝟖.𝟑𝟎𝐩𝐦.

Come along and give yourself a little space to pause. You may be surprised how much you needed it. ❤️
