What's on in Cowick, West

East Riding of Yorkshire, England

Cowick sits quietly in the East Riding of Yorkshire where the pace is gentle and the local spirit is just as warm. With no big venues to shout about, we rely on word-of-mouth news that travels faster than a village gossip session. The community hall usually hosts something sensible like a family movie or a bake sale before the rain starts. Near Here keeps track of those smaller gatherings so you don't have to chase down flyers in the postbox. It's rare to find a town this size with such a tight-knit feel, and we make sure nothing slips through the cracks. Just pop in when you've finished your tea and see what's on for the weekend.

Sound Bath in Selby Abbey (St Nicholas Room) - 12:45pm & 2.20pm

OVERVIEW Join us for a relaxing sound bath experience in the serene setting of Selby Abbey’s St Nicholas Room. “Who knew Sound could be so Good?” A “Sound Bath” is an immersive meditative sound experience. It’s good for the mind and it’s good for the soul. It promotes positive mental health and can raise your vibration. I try to take you on a journey of self-discovery, you may see colours, you may have an emotional release, you may even meet people and being on your journey. Your journey is personal to you; to one kept for oneself or to be shared, the choice is up to you. The Sound bath lasts approximately an hour, but I’ve allocated an hour and a quarter so as not to be rushed. There are contradictions that come with every type of healing, please read all the questions. If you are unsure if you can attend, please consult your Doctor. My list of contradictions does not preclude anyone from not attending. Don’t forget if you are wanting to attend, you’ll need to bring a Yoga Mat or comfortable chair, a blanket and a pillow. I cannot provide these otherwise I wouldn’t have any room for my instruments. To book tickets please use the following link – https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1978412509072?aff=oddtdtcreator
