What to Bring: • A yoga mat or cushion to sit on • Blanket • Comfortable clothing • Water to stay hydrated • An open mind and heart Information Source: Amanda Matczak | eventbrite

An ideal opportunity to switch off relax and just focus on you, letting any tension or stress disperse, whilst immersing in a tranquil setting of the sounds and vibrations of traditional healing instruments to rebalance and restore. A sound bath is a meditative experience which stimulates brain wave frequencies to create a theta brain wave state (the state of REM sleep). This Theta state is conducive to cellular healing & recalibrates your body and mind. The waves bring your body into a parasympathetic state helping to regulate blood pressure, ease tension, reduce anxiety and simply relax your mind & body to allow you to drift off and wake later fully rested, knowing the sound frequencies have helped stabilise your inner compass. Treat yourself by taking an hour out to delve into a deeper into this blissful state of rest and relaxation. Under 18s must be accompanied by a responsible adult & be able to tolerate noise vibrations & lie quietly during the session (not suitable for those under 13 years of age) WHAT HAPPENS AT THE SESSION Simply lie down or be seated in a comfortable position snuggle up in your blanket and let yourself drift off allowing the sounds of the traditional healing instruments to wash over you to create a sense of inner calm and tranquillity. A time to practice self-care and compassion, travel inwards and release what no longer serves, enlightening your energetic vibration. Wake later fully rested We begin with a short guided meditation which leads into a wonderful sound bath using a wide variety of instruments such as the Ocean drum, Tibetan and Crystal singing Bowls, Gongs amongst others through which you will experience a variety of vibrations generated in the room. The vibration of the gong is a powerful method for reducing stress, inducing a holistic resonance in the body and a spontaneous meditative state in the mind, leading to a sense of greater awareness and an intense sense of having let go. 60 minutes of pure restorative bliss! No two sound healings are the same nor are two individual experiences but be assured you will leave the session in a more rested and peaceful state of mind. BENEFITS Deep relaxation Stress & anxiety reduction Boosts immunity Relieves Depression Induce deeper consciousness Promotes restful sleep Fatigue reduction Unlocks creativity Pain reduction & much more! **IMPORTANT INFORMATION** Tickets must be purchased prior to attending on a first come first served basis, no drop ins We recognise the unexpected may arise therefore in the unlikely event you are unable to attend a session your ticket may be transferred to another same session type dated within a 2-month period but only where advance cancellation notice more than 4 hours is given.

Join historians Adam Wood and Adam Neale at the John Laing Centre, Coventry Cathedral for illustrated talks on two of the most notorious incidents from the city's past. The 1939 Bombing of Broadgate - Adam Wood On 25 August 1939 a bicycle was parked up against the kerb outside Astley's shop on Broadgate, with a deadly cargo in its carrier basket. It was a Friday lunchtime, and the street was packed with people. At 2.30pm a huge explosion threw passers-by to the floor and blew the glass from the windows of shops and offices the length of the street. More than sixty people were injured, a dozen seriously, and five people lost their lives. Hear the human stories of those involved, and how the families of the dead attempted to rebuild their shattered lives. The Coventry Blitz of 1940 - Adam Neale On the night of 14 November 1940 the biggest air raid in history began. Bombs began to fall on one of the oldest cities in England. Learn what really happened: whether it was preventable, the heroic struggles, and real life testimonies of people who were there as the city burned. Doors open 1:30pm.

Play makes up 20% of children's primary school life. How do schools plan for this 20%? What are the roles of the play team? How do we develop our best teams? How can playtime support us to foster our school's values in all our children - resilience, courage, tenacity, kindness? How do children get their playthings out and put them away? What are the solutions to foxes and sandpits? Agenda 12pm – 1pm Observation of playtime Come see a platinum OPAL playtime in action - ask the children about how they manage risk and the grown-ups about the changes they have seen. 1pm –2pm OPAL schools networking Discuss your journey with other OPAL school colleagues - share your successes, top tips and ways to overcome some of the challenges.
