INTRODUCTION

North Wiltshire Socials Meetup Group is now closed to new members and will no longer be organising events.

We have migrated to a new group, Everything Wiltshire.

Thanks for your interest.

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.

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.

Do you really want to make a difference, and meet other people who do too? This is a social group, with Meetup events, with a focus on supporting Whisper's Magical Children's Hospital, a very high impact charity hospital in Jinja, Uganda. As well as the children's hospital, which opened in 2016, there's a maternity ward, a nursing school and a free ambulance service, all run on a shoestring budget. The services are funded by Whisper, a Somerset-based charity; the administration is in Bath, and there's also a very active Czech branch. We're particularly looking for volunteers, for example: * To help support our running team in the Bath Half Marathon 2025, the south west's largest fundraising event * To help us revamp our website (it needs it!) * To help with accounts * To help with charity admin * To help with marketing There are likely many other ways that people can help. We'd like to organise some kind of fundraising dinner, it doesn't have to raise a fortune; most years Whisper has a fundraising dinner in Uganda and it might be fun to live link to that.

Calling all Funk, Soul, HipHop, and R&B music lovers! Join us for a meetup focused on collecting vinyl records, music appreciation. We welcome DJs and music enthusiasts to come together and discuss all things related to the love of music. Connect with like-minded individuals who share a passion for vinyl appreciation and cultural activities. Let's share the beats of our favorite genres and expand our knowledge of the music scene in the city. Join us for a fun and educational experience! Once we hit double digits we will set up a meeting point to play and share music in a Bath Central location.

**\*\*\*PLEASE READ\*\*\*: WE ARE NOT CURRENTLY CURRENTLY ACCEPTING ANY REQUESTS TO JOIN THE GROUP AS WE ARE AT THE LIMIT OF THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WE CAN HAVE IN THE GROUP, THERE IS ALSO A WAITING LIST TO JOIN.** There are many reasons for people to band together in groups: employment, politics, religion, self-help or social activity, the list is endless. But consider this, what if the so-called 'reason' for gathering is nothing more than an elaborate camouflage, an excuse that draws together personalities of similar intent, inquisitiveness and purpose in order to experience a form of identification, a comradeship or brotherhood. We do not wish to belittle the results that groups achieve, but simply suggest that perhaps the instinctive reason that underpins our grouping together and therefore our ultimate achievements is not so much the cause but an attempt to remember that we are not separated; that we are indeed as one. We achieve results as a by-product of of grouping together. In forming this Group its founder members have attempted to bypass the camouflage and dispense with the excuses, we actively seek at-one-ness. ***We would state at the outset that this Group has absolutely no association with any other group or organisation whatsoever; it is not intended to replace any other group, we see it more as complimentary to other involvements.*** Whatever our backgrounds it is safe to say that we have been bombarded with selective information from birth. In our schooldays we were taught that religion and science were to be accepted as facts of reality instead of beliefs or theories about reality. We are all in one way or another the product of social beliefs. This group openly questions those beliefs and the so-called 'facts' that we have been raised on. We seek spiritual growth and expansion through discussion; we have come to realise that by actively changing our beliefs we most certainly change our experiences. We effectively create our own experiences ***in life*** through our beliefs and expectations ***of life***. Over the past few centuries society has increasingly developed a 'victim mentality', we are taught from the earliest age to mistrust our bodies, our environment, and just about everything that does or doesn't move! It is little wonder that an enormous amount of our Combined Wealth must now be dedicated to Health Services, Policing, Armed Forces and various Health and Safety initiatives; we have become frightened and confused. There was a time when the human race instinctively knew (in keeping with all creature-hood) that our individual and collective state of health and 'good fortune' had little to do with outside forces. As a species we have been taught to believe that mankind is at best untrustworthy and at worst downright dangerous. This has fed our lack of self worth and self trust and resulted in an ever increasing number of laws to 'protect' us from ourselves. We strongly question that hypothesis. Therefore we (as a Group) attempt to operate without rules, we prefer to trust our own common sense and impulses. We have no bosses and no dogma. We aim to provide a forum in which members can freely express themselves with no allegiance to anything save their own free will. We all came into this world with a wonderful sense of awe and anticipation, we instinctively knew our oneness; what on earth happened! Most of us have spent a good part of our lives **learning** to mistrust ourselves, learning that to 'fail' or 'to be wrong' is some sort of moral crime, we have become so fearful of making mistakes that many of us have given up trying to achieve much at all. The result has been an obsession with safety and a relinquishing of our own responsibilities; expecting others to 'fix' us, and if they don't – then we can just blame them. What if there is another way? Perhaps we came here to learn just how strong we are, just how in tune with our environment we can be. Perhaps we still instinctively know that taking risks and trusting life is the only way that we can truly achieve inner peace and value fulfilment. What if we came into this world not to be bystanders, not to live as passive 'victims' of life, but to be active participants in progressing the well being of our own lives, and in doing so to progress the well being of all life? If fear of failure and the 'victim mentality' or powerlessness, are high on the list of causes for our dissatisfaction with life, then strength or courage, and empowering action could be seen as very effective 'cures'. As a Group we actively encourage each other to 'stretch our boundaries', to question the status quo and to take positive steps to move away from mind-sets or beliefs that keep us locked into states of ill health, lack of abundance, blaming others, and general powerlessness. The power of like-minded people grouping together cannot be underestimated, we can and do achieve things together that we would consider impossible if attempted alone. Everybody has something for which they can be grateful, and most of us have a great deal to be thankful for. Focusing on what is going well in our lives will bring far better results than concentrating on what we perceive to be wrong. Hating war will never stop war, loving peace however, will. And so it is with all matters of life, approached from the ***'ain't life awful'*** angle we can't help but feel overwhelmed, but looked at from a different viewpoint, that of ***'ain't life great',*** we begin to see a different picture, our focus 'miraculously' shifts, and we begin to see aspects of life to which we were once blinded. What we concentrate on we draw toward us, concentrate on pain, hostility and lack, and that's what we get, focus on health, friendship and abundance and that will be ours also. Working together with a common purpose this Group eagerly explores the possibilities of contrary thinking and action. We believe that there has never been a better time to explore the possibilities of self-responsibility, and by that we mean responsibility for our own thinking, emotional and physical well-being, and the everyday experience of our lives. We are not allied with any particular school of thought or teachings, and actively seek new ideas and inspiration. There are however certain books that we find especially useful: Seth: The Nature of Personal Reality – Jane Roberts Power vs Force – David Hawkins The Awakening of Intelligence – Jiddu Krishnamurti Finally, we will **NEVER** try to indoctrinate you, fill you with dogma, or encourage you to do anything against your will; that would stand against the very principles upon which we operate. We are all free spirits of the universe. **Meetings are held online on Thursday evenings between 7 and 8pm.**

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

**Join Us for a Journey of Discovery: Sahaja Yoga Bath 12-Week Beginner Course Starting 6th March** Hello there! We'd like to welcome you to our FREE Sahaja Yoga meditation meetings hosted by Siddhartha, which take place on Wednesdays - in the Pavilion, Sydney Place, Bathwick, Bath, BA2 4DB\*\*. (It is the Pavilion in Sydney Gardens)\*\* With Sahaja Yoga Meditation we normally sit on chairs to achieve yoga, effortlessly & spontaneously. No Mats or special clothing required. We are all volunteers of a Charity organisation and have many years of experience in offering free Sahaja Yoga Meditation classes. All across the globe, many are seeking new sources of energy. Meanwhile, the most **transformative energy** of all is hiding in plain sight, within us. It's natural, sustainable, and infinitely renewable. It's called inner kundalini energy. And everyone already has it — everyone!. It is often likened to an inner feminine or motherly energy which automatically knows about us and what is needed to help us **restore balance and harmony** within our subtle being. It works spontaneously, effortlessly, organically and cannot be paid for. The classes are designed to help those attending get into a genuine meditative state, which can be felt tangibly. It is **quite effortless and spontaneous**. The free classes feature introductory talks, video's, practical workshops and general question and answer opportunities, making them perfect for seekers trying to establish a **state of yoga**, and they are available across London most evenings and throughout the UK. The idea is that you don't do yoga - you Achieve Yoga! Sahaja Yoga Meditation is a simple, time-honored technique. It helps those who enjoy it, **reduce stress** and**increase wellness and health holistically.** It brings better focus and helps people become more centered and better balanced. Anyone can do it. Founded by Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, Sahaja Yoga Meditation is a world wide movement for **peace and self awakening**. All the meetings and classes are free of any charge. Each week we go through **simple meditation techniques**, often with guided meditations to help **re**duce stress and achieve the peace of true meditation. We share tips on how to help stay in balance during the day and how to meditate at home. The meditation is based on connecting with the inner chakras (energy centres) and **balancing the subtle body**. The tradition and aims of meditation are explained which in essence is to be in the present with **no mental activity or thoughts** about the past or the future. Occasionally there are 1 day retreats to help those interested, deepen their individual experience and hear advice and tips from those who have been practicing for some time. It’s ultimately all about getting into ‘thoughtless awareness’, a **natural state** of being. We have a web site in London too which you can visit if you are ever there for more info about weekly meetings:[www.sahajayogalondon.co.uk](http://www.sahajayogalondon.co.uk/) Join us on [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/London.Free.Meditation) and [Twitter](https://twitter.com/SahajL)
