Local listings include relaxing wellness gatherings across Bristol. Over in Whitehall, Megs Emrys is hosting Midwinter release - Sound bath Relaxation with Megs Emrys at the Beehive Centre. Open to adults, as well as teenagers aged 14 and over if accompanied by an adult, the session invites people to lie down for guided breathing, a grounding visualisation and sounds from singing bowls, vocal overtones, chimes and percussion. The gathering wraps up with herbal tea and time for reflection.

Meanwhile on Saint Mary's Road, facilitator Lizzie opens her home ceremony space for Release and Renewal: An Evening of Breathwork and Sauna. Geared towards anyone needing to reconnect with their body, whether complete beginners or experienced with breathwork, the small-group session includes meditation, an intention-setting circle and conscious connected breathing set to music, followed by time to relax in the onsite sauna.

Community venues across Bristol are hosting small gatherings focused on song and reflection. At St Werburghs Community Centre, Circle Singing November welcomes voices of all experience levels to the main hall for collective improvised singing, vocal games and harmonies. Participants can lead, join in with the circle or simply listen, and children who wish to sing are welcome alongside babes in arms.

In Easton, Mivart Studios hosts The Singing Body: Voice and Vibration Through Georgian Song, with Frank Kane. Limited to twenty-two participants, the weekend workshop is open to singers of all backgrounds without any need to read music, using Georgian polyphonic songs, trio work and body vibration exercises to explore group harmony. Meanwhile, women and non-binary people can gather at Whitchurch Village Community Centre for Soul Circles - November, an evening featuring quiet reflection, group discussion, reiki and a collective tarot reading.
