Warminster Adventure Sports Club

Warminster, P8

Warminster Adventure Sports Club
Warminster Adventure Sports Club (or WASC) is a tribe of outdoor enthusiasts based in Wiltshire and North East Somerset. We hold weekly meets, social events, and trips all over the UK and abroad in all seasons of the year. Make friends and get outdoors! If you want to make the most of your time, get outdoors , meet friends and explore what our amazing countryside has to offer, the Warminster Adventure Sports Club is for you! Our activities include kayaking, climbing, hiking, caving and cycling. Our members aren't trained instructors, but you'll be able to sample a range of activities with like-minded people at an introductory level. Then, if one sport takes your fancy, you might be able to club together with other members to hire a trainer or practise together. We love to get out and about and explore by water, footpath, cycle trail, rock or underground! Our trips have included the Wye valley, Snowdonia, the Peak District, the south coast and much more, but we can also help you discover some hidden gems right here on your doorstep, in West Wiltshire, NE Somerset and Avon too. What's more, we will always do our best to keep your costs low by lift-sharing and choosing good value campsites and bunkhouses. As a club member, we hope you will club together to suggest ideas for trips and help organise them. Don't worry, you don't need to be a leader, an instructor or an expert! You just need an adventurous spirit and an eagerness to make friends and make things happen! WASC members can use our app and chat group to discover what other members are into and share ideas for new adventures, both for WASC weekends and in-between time. The club owns kayaking, climbing and caving equipment which is available for club members to use on club events for a small fee. It's also available for personal use once members have shown they have sufficient skills to use it safely. When you join, you will have the option to take out club membership for British Canoeing and the British Mountaineering Council. Join the WASC ​ This is not a free group as participants will need to join to obtain insurance from the BMC or British Canoeing. We do allow some free tasters to get you to try the club, however to cover ourselves we ask you to become a paid member. Paid members have access to our Stack app and Whatsapp groups to discuss and attend events. We are in the process of shifting our 12-month membership calendar to May - April. That means you can now take advantage of our special 10-month offer: July 2023 (onwards) - end 2024 Adults: £30 U18: £15 A 10% discount is available for family groups with U18s.​ Please note that U18s can only join the club and attend club events alongside their parents/legal guardians.

Life Space Circle

Shaftesbury, P8

Life Space Circle

You are invited…  to take part in our Life Space Circle

The Circle is about a conversation that goes deeper: a space to BE and to meet. Somewhere to connect with ourselves and other people in ways that are simply not possible in every day life.  The is a place to STOP, in the busy-ness of life and to draw breath. It is also a place to START afresh. A safe and sacred space where new possibilities emerge.

What’s involved?

Professionally facilitated, each Circle brings a combination of short meditation practices, dialogue and interaction, 1:1 and around the Circle. Interwoven with themes from philosophy, nature and the world around us: sometimes myth, music and poetry too, according to the rhythm of the seasons. There’s also a chance, if we choose, to explore themes in our own lives.  All this within a structure that soon becomes familiar.

The Circle supports us in asking: how can  we start to feel more truly alive? Begin to find more heart, spirit, purpose and connection? Live more consciously within the greater web of life? Build better relationships with others, at home and at work? Be in stronger relationship with ourselves and with the land, the places we live and work? Discover a different way through issues we're facing and bring about change? Or just make space, relax and really look after ourselves, in these turbulent times.

When we're already working with mindfulness, meditation, yoga, tai chi, constellations, or similar, the Circle enriches by providing the missing ingredients - context, community and company.

Our ancestors sat in circles for thousands of years, often around the campfire: for food and warmth, storytelling, celebration and to discuss issues of the day. Our bodies and hearts respond to the power of the circle. It provides structure and safety, a sacred space where new possibilities can emerge.

We draw on Dialogue, Wisdom Tradition, Circle Practice and The Enneagram, as well as Plant Spirit work.  Over time a Life Circle becomes a vital touchstone in a busy world.  Find out for yourself by coming along - I'd love to see you.

As a friend puts it: “When we know in our hearts there’s more to life, Circle brings a new sense of possibility"

 - - - - - - - - - - 

Sadly, some us never discover how special it is to speak and be truly heard, to listen having learned to hear. Life Space Circle changes that.

Soul, heart and body responds in every cell. Whether playful, serious, letting go, or striding ahead… the life-force flows more potently, shaping who we are and how we are.

Space for Life - Space for the Soul - Space for Community – Space for Mystery

Meditation and Conscious Living Glastonbury

Glastonbury, M3

Meditation and Conscious Living Glastonbury

Welcome to Meditation & Conscious Living Glastonbury! As we focus into Life experience, we each have a unique purpose, a unique experience, a unique expression, unique passions, and a unique skill-set……and, much more importantly, a deeper nature to who we are! There is a part of us (which is ultimately our true nature!), from which arises immeasurable peace, love, joy, growth, authenticity, fulfillment, empowerment, guidance, wisdom, purpose, passion, abundance, creativity, confidence, and a sense of feeling whole, complete, fulfilled and at home in this physical environment! It is the true nature of every human being and all things, and we are here to realize it, feel it, be it, and have it be the awareness from which we allow our unique, amazing, wonderful life expression and experience to emerge/unfold/arise!


This group is, to inspire and support you in finding this true-nature place within yourself, in creating consistency in connection, and in creating the authentic and aligned Life experience that arises as a result! Meditation & Conscious Living Circles, and Workshops covering various areas and perspectives, are on offer, and for those who wish to focus-in further and go deeper, 1 to 1 Sessions are on offer also!


Although this journey to realizing and becoming your true nature and your true expression is one that is ultimately undertaken by you and you alone, 1 to 1 connection with another, and group environment, is of immense value and benefit! We are all connected in the most amazing way, and for those of you who additionally wish to have the experience, the safe and loving spaces created at events here are great for making connections and companions with like-minded and resonant people along the way!


Thankyou for visiting this page, and I look forward to meeting you at an event soon! :-)


Love and best wishes,

Dorset walking and social group

Dorchester, D6

Dorset walking and social group
The main focus of the group is to meet up and walk in rural Dorset, sometimes further afield. We also have other types of event, such as cycling, social events, festivals and so on. Whether you would like to suggest and lead events, or simply join in with other like minded spirits, you're most welcome to join us. The group is open to everyone over the age of 17, singles and couples. We're sure you'll find that members are friendly and will make you feel most welcome. Our walks are usually between 8 and 12 miles, sometimes more. They are often over steep terrain or rough ground, so you need to be reasonably fit. The Meetup app only gives a brief summary of what we're about. To get more details and a bigger picture, using a PC or Mac to access the website is a better option. If you're interested in joining the group, please access us via the website and take time to read “Guidance for non members” which can be found on the More/files menu or on this [link](http://www.meetup.com/Dorset-walking-and-social-group/files/). It will guide you through the joining process and provide further background information. You can read what members are saying about the group on the "group reviews" link. The vision is to have a group of an open nature, run for and by the members. We are a not for profit group, though there are some costs involved in running the group and website. We charge £5 for a whole calendar year of walking - January to December.  Buy a membership card from your leader at the start of your first walk. Members taking part in events do so at their own risk and everyone is responsible for their own safety.

Speak from your Heart - develop your speaking ability

Frome, M3

Speak from your Heart - develop your speaking ability
Welcome to the Speak from your Heart Meetup group. I've loved meeting those of you I've met and hearing your speaking confidence grow. So it's with sadness that I am no longer continuing with these free meetings, following the large increase in Meetup fees. I used to find speaking in front of others terrifying but as I've developed my confidence and ability, I've learnt a lot and now love supporting others to deepen their speaking ability, increase their self-belief and expand their impact in and out of work. I'm still offering a complimentary, no strings attached, 1:1 coaching conversation for members of this group on Zoom. If you would like to receive that, please email me at caroline@quietpowercoaching.com with what times of day or evening are best for you. We can look at a speaking or any life or work matter or you can simply turn up to a call open to see what insights may unfold. You'd be very welcome. With warm wishes Caroline \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- Do you hide your light? Shy away from speaking in front of others? Or speak confidently but want your message to be more authentic? Welcome to Speak from your Heart - a supportive workshop and circle to help you speak more clearly and confidently in front of others. We each have an authentic speaking style - this is your opportunity to discover yours, so you connect with those you're speaking with in a simple, easeful way and have greater impact; in a meeting, giving a talk, preparing for an interview or in any speaking situation. The Speak from your Heart approach is insightful, gentle and gently bold. Rather than adding lots of theatre techniques to who you are, we help you learn practical skills that fit in naturally with who you are so you become more comfortable in your skin and natural with your speaking. In each workshop - which can be taken on its own or as part of a series - we will practice different aspects of simple storytelling or speaking and you'll improve your listening as well. Join, if: * you feel nervous, go blank or lose your way when speaking * or if you are a confident speaker but want more engagement with your audience * have a mission, message or business you want to share with the world. \*\* Please note \*\*: This is a fully participative workshop from the start and you need to have your camera on, to have a go and be willing to speak about yourself but as we build the skills, you'll appreciate the opportunity, positive feedback and supportive environment. Looking forward to sharing and learning with you.
