Healing Manchester @ the Monastery

Please join us for Healing Manchester at the Monastery, a wonderful day of healing practices, celebration, togetherness and connection on the 3rd Sunday of each month. There are a wide range of open-hearted workshops, performances, conversations and meditations to enjoy, many of which are completely free, although donations are always very much appreciated.

From 10am-3pm, multiple spaces in our beautiful building will be dedicated to restorative, healing practices. Whether you’re interested in different kinds of meditation, sacred art & music, crystals, healing or simply being in the ‘now’, we’ve got a whole range of gentle activities to make this Sunday a real tonic for the soul.

*Whilst every effort is made to keep the programme updated, some sessions can be subject to changes beyond our control. If your heart is set on a particular activity, please contact us to double check the activity is running that day. Thank you, the Monastery team.
