Last year’s Wellbeing Weekend in Llanelidan was a big success and so the ‘Friends of St Elidan’ (the community group that maintains the churchyard and organises events at St Elidan’s Pilgrim Church)
want to build on this success and make 2024’s Wellbeing Weekend even better.
More details will be available online nearer the time (or you can contact Pat on 01824 750288 to find
out more), but this is what is planned this year:
SATURDAY 3RD AUGUST
The weekend will begin with Celtic Morning Prayer, led by Rev Diana Greenfield. Saturday’s events
will include sessions on ‘Chanting for Healing’, ‘The Art of Relaxation’ and a Sound Bath Meditation.
There will be mindful Art activities taking place during the afternoon alongside drop-in therapy
taster sessions in the church, including Acupressure, Hands-on healing, Reflexology and Indian head
massage. There will also be a chance to catch up with friends and neighbours over afternoon tea.
SUNDAY 4TH AUGUST
Sunday will include an introduction to Tai Chi, a Poetry Writing Workshop, a gentle and prayerful
walk around the village of Llanelidan and a Taizé service in the church to end the weekend.
Pat Sumner, Secretary of ‘Friends of St Elidan’, said: “The last few years have been so hard for so
many people. We’ve endured a pandemic and a cost-of-living crisis, which have really taken their
toll. Many people feel stressed, low and weary, so we wanted to offer a weekend where busy people
can take some time out to focus on their own wellbeing, healing and relaxation.”
