Welcome to the group!

Welcome to the Weekend Hiking Around Inverness Group! This group is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts who love hiking, and exploring nature. Join us to discover the stunning landscapes around Inverness, meet like-minded walkers, and enjoy socializing with fellow nature lovers. Create unforgettable memories, embrace the great outdoors, and make lasting friendships while walking with us!

This community group was started in Inverness 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. 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.

\*\*Firstly, links to our social media accounts! https://linktr.ee/invernesskikifamily Welcome to the Inverness Kiki Family! This is a wholesome meetup geared towards ALL in the LGBTQ+ community (female, non-binary, male, trans, cis, gender queer etc), all are welcome, as are our fabulous allies! This will be a safe, welcoming space for anyone who wants to get acclimated to the area, find friends with whom to enjoy social activities, and make lasting connections. If anyone feels nervous about coming to such a meetup, feel free to send me a direct message via meetup, and we can discuss any reservations you may have. Please note, we get many more attendees than it appears on here, as most of our attendees find us through facebook, instagram etc. For example, our weekly Thursday meetup regularly attracts 20+ people. The LGBTQ+ community includes (but is not limited to) Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Queer, Asexual, Intersex, and Pansexual. If you feel one or more of these groups do not belong in the community, then this is NOT the meetup group for you. We strive to make this a safe space for trans and non-binary folk, as such 'gender critical' beliefs are not welcome. Accessibility: we want everyone to be able to get something from this group. If you have a disability or special requirement that you feel may affect your ability to attend or enjoy our meetups, feel free to send a direct message here, and let's sort something out!
