F.R.I.E.N.D.S & Social Group.

Basildon, E4

F.R.I.E.N.D.S & Social Group.
Hello 👋 I hope all is well with you and thank you for your initial interest. Why join F.R.I.E.N.D.S & Social Group? If you’re a little nervous to join, please let me assure you from the off as a new member you will feel comfortable and always inclusive. Of which will continue while you’re with us. This is because we are welcoming, friendly and like minded individuals who want to meetup and have a great time at events such as dining out, lunches, walks, festivals, crazy golf, picnics, Zoos, comedy, tributes and much more (pub crawl’s excluded). As long as you’re over 18 (with the odd exception). Single or in a relationship you’re welcomed. Formalities; In order to keep this community active, relevant and transparent the number you see listed will always be actual committed group members and to achieve this I may remove members who haven't shown any activity with the group for over 6 months or who RSVP for events and just don't turn up.I will also reserve the right to cancel a membership if there is any disrespect to others and consistent signing up and pulling out of events, with no refund of membership. If you sign up and later can't make it, please move your name to "Not Going" before the RSVP deadline or notify the Event Host! That's the polite thing to do. Please can you make sure you add a current and clear photo of yourself (only). So the hosts and others can recognise you. If you pay in full to a host for them to book your place at an event be aware that if for any reason your are no longer able to attend, please move your name to "Not Going" . You are welcome to post your offer on the board to see if anyone would like to take your place and any payment transactions would have to take place between you and the new receiver and the new receiver must make sure they sign up to the event. Please note when paying a deposit for an event this is non-refundable unless the event is cancelled or if the deposit hasn’t already been accounted for (paid to venue). Plus One’s: If you would like to bring a non member with you, that’s absolutely fine. However, if you wish to bring that same person to more than 2 events. To be fair to the paying members I will need to request they join the group, which of course I hope they do. But if they don’t, sadly I cannot permit for them to attend any further. Fee; I wish I could offer free membership. But alas Meetup does charge for this great platform. So, I have a small £8 (subject to change) yearly joining fee, which can be paid via PayPal or bank transfer. Further details can be advised. If you’re still unsure about joining, the 4.7 out of 5 star rating from members will, I hope give you the push to take the plunge. Bye 👋 take care and we really hope to see you. Karen Organiser

Brentwood/Billericay Social Group 30s+

Brentwood, E4

Brentwood/Billericay Social Group 30s+

If you’re fed up going to the same old places and seeing the same old faces or simply have friends/family that are not really up for going out and enjoying themselves or you would like to try different activities and events but haven’t yet found people to go with who are likeminded… this group is for you! Its not just for single people its open to anyone (married, single, mums, dads, nans, granddads) who would simply like to go out and make new friends.

There will be a yearly subscription membership fee of £10 required (which is less than 85p per month), which should be made payable by paypal to bbmeetup@hotmail.com (friends & family) please enter your full name in the reference section in order for me to mark you down as paid. If you would prefer to pay by bank transfer, please private message me and I will send you my bank details. This covers the cost of my yearly meetup fee along with time and effort in organizing events. 

Watch out for the special fund raising / local charity events which are due to be posted on the events page. I am open to charity choices (not International), just close to home. 

If any members have ideas of something they would love to do but just haven’t got likeminded people with the same enthusiasm, please feel free to let me know your ideas. Please don’t feel embarrassed or scared about coming to any events as I’m sure everyone who joins will be in the same boat, we all newbies together but will be very friendly and are all looking for the same thing… to meet new people and make new friends.

Always check out details i.e. meeting up at various events - myself and event hosts will always try to meet up with people at the front entrance of clubs, pubs and restaurants so that you don’t feel uneasy about walking in alone.

Looking forward to meeting you.

https://www.sahajayogalondon.co.uk/articles/experience-your-self-realisation-online-now/

Achieve Yoga & enter into a state of ‘thoughtless awareness’.



This community group was started in Grays to invite all those who might be interested in learning to meditate and for those who actually want to achieve Yoga. Many are curious as to what meditation or yoga actually is and what's it all about? The meetings aim to provide that insight and know how.

With Sahaja Yoga Meditation we normally sit on chairs to achieve yoga, effortlessly & spontaneously. So there is no need for mats and no special clothing required. 

The charity offers free bespoke classes that 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.

Sahaja Yoga free meditation classes help attendees to achieve a deep state of peace and spiritual awareness in life. Try Sahaja Yoga meditation classes and see for yourself the improvement to your mental, physical and emotional state. Learn and experience…- Simple meditation techniques.

Guided meditations to help reduce stress and achieve the peace of true meditation.
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.
