THE LETCHWORTH CENTRE FOR HEALTHY LIVING

CELEBRATING 35 YEARS

Classes, Classes, Workshops, Workshops, Complementary Complementary Therapies Therapies & & Counselling Counselling SEPTEMBER - DECEMBER 2019 Charity Reg. No. 295219 Established 1984

CELEBRATING

t’s our 35th birthday – difficult to believe that so many years have passed since we first opened in a Letchworth dining room! It’s not been easy – but today we are one of the oldest centres for complementary approaches to health in the country…

Roberta Meldrum Director

Starting with a single meditation class back in 1985, we now run more than 80 classes a week throughout the year. Our counselling service –which was set up as a response to the need of our clients – now delivers over 6,700 sessions a year. And our complementary therapy clinic, with its highly skilled practitioners, has grown beyond its purely homeopathic beginnings to include a wide range of mainstream therapies.

We are passionate about the benefits that complementary approaches to health can bring to people of all ages – reflected particularly in the growth of our recentlydeveloped programmes for young and old: Mindfulness in Schools and the awardwinning Positive Movement programme. Raising awareness of those benefits is – and has been – our overriding aim and the purpose of all our work.

1984-94

Highlights of these 35 years

• Moved to the then derelict Rosehill • Sir Nigel Hawthorne became our Patron • Nationally acclaimed programme of accredited courses for health professionals developed

2 2

1995-2004

• Won a national award for “Greatest contribution to the community” • Shortlisted for a national award by the Prince’s Foundation for Integrated Health

2005-2014

• Won a second national award for our contribution to the community • Hosted the county’s largest Carers’ Fayre • Together with statutory, health and education partners ran a T’ai Chi-based Falls Prevention Programme

35 YEARS

Our plan over the next few years is to raise money for – and build – muchneeded extensions to our classroom and clinic buildings as well as a link between them. Planners have approved it: the new build would incorporate improved disabled access to both our buildings; new toilet facilities; additional ground-floor clinic rooms; facilities for community use and, perhaps above all, facilities which offer increased safeguarding for the very young and the older and more vulnerable. We hugely appreciate your loyalty– and want to thank you for your continued support. With very best wishes from all of us at the Centre,

Roberta Meldrum Director

MINDFULNESSis a

gift that you owe yourself! It can immeasurably enrich your life. Mindfulness helps us to come into the present moment, to befriend ourselves and our experience, to develop a wider perspective on our thinking, and to learn new ways of managing the difficulties in our lives.

Meditation and T’ai Chi Meditation Pranayama T’ai Chi

PRANAYAMA, MANTRA & MEDITATION - THE ART OF BREATHING WELL

Kate Tomlinson 500 hour MindFlowYoga Qualified Yoga Teacher 13 weeks - last class 10 December Half-term 29 October Pranayama (the control of breathing) is the traditional technique of slow and rhythmical breathing. Research has shown that positive breath control can have a direct effect on our wellbeing and is effective in reducing anxiety. With conscious breathing, the body relaxes and the mind quietens, while the breath becomes deeper and more efficient. The technique alleviates stress by switching on the body’s relaxation response and reducing its fight or flight mechanism. This powerful course will take you through the breathing process step by step, teaching you to use awareness and mindfulness to alter your normal breathing habits and build your lung capacity – thereby bringing wide-ranging health benefits, both physical and psychological.
