WEEKLY MEDITATION CLASS WITH JANINE CLARKE

​

Have you ever wanted to try Meditation not known how to start? So why not come and give it ago with me Janine Clarke?

​

Meditation benefits include:

​

♡ It helps with anxiety and pain
♡ Lowers your heart rate and blood pressure.
♡ Reduced stress levels.
♡ Helps to support your immune system
♡ Increases brain balance and happiness
♡ Leaves you feeling calm, grounded and centred.

​

Meditators enter a state of exceptionally deep rest while meditating. It is in fact the most restful state a human being can reach outside of sleep its self. So that meditation combines mental alertness and bodily rest.

​

Each person responds in their own way, that’s why I tell people not to expect any results in advance.

 

Just wait and see what the meditation will do for you.

Don’t make any effort, the only thing you have to learn to do is not to make an effort!

​

Classes at Bare Health will run on Thursday evenings commencing 28th September. Discounted rate available for a prepaid block of 4 classes - £32

Alternatively, classes can be paid for weekly £10/session.

“Welcome to ‘a treat in the week’! What can be better than a mid week evening out to relax with a glass of wine or two, great healthy food, and the best bit, a pamper! Every Ladies Night, Bare Health invite guest speakers to talk about a different product whether it be something to improve our skin or help improve our bodies and afterwards a chance to ask any questions that you may have to that guest speaker or to the lovely Mel, Sue and the Team at Bare Health who are on also on hand to ask questions about any of the other wonderful products that they offer. As a person who has confidence issues, I have been to most of these evenings so far, sometimes on my own, I would highly recommend all of you ladies out there to come along.

SEASONAL EVENTS AT BARE HEALTH
Returning Light 

​

Join us for a gentle evening journey as we welcome the returning spring and explore how our ancestors honoured these first steps back into the light.

Every six weeks we gather to follow the seasons and traditions of the year. You’re welcome to join us for a single session or come along for the whole journey.

This gathering aligns with Imbolc, the festival that heralds the coming of spring and the lengthening of days. Together we’ll reflect on what this time of renewal means for us today, explore ancestral stories, and draw inspiration for the months ahead.

We’ll also take a deeper look at Rosemary—its traditional uses and folklore—before settling into a soothing gong bath, supporting you to emerge into spring with clarity, purpose, and inspiration.

No previous experience is needed—just a willingness to explore and connect with this uplifting time of year. You may like to bring a notebook and pen, along with a blanket, mat and pillow for the gong meditation.

 

We’d love you to join us. To book simply call Bare Health on 01260 408413

Next date: Sunday 29th March March 2026

Wild Garlic Festival Workshop

Bare Health, Congleton

​

Wild garlic is part of our history, used back as far as the Stone Age. Quite often it is a sign of ancient woodlands, and growing in special and magical places. Part of the re-emergence from Winter into Spring means heading out to these lovely places to find carpets of green, with a scent of garlic, maybe dotted with white flowers amongst the spread. There we gather some wild garlic and take it back to create some wonderful flavoursome foods.

 

Over many years Emma has brought family and friends into the woods to gather these delicious leaves just like our ancestors did. Emma spent 3 months in 2025 eating wild food only and wild garlic and Spring greens played a big role in that project.

​

Several years have been spent with this versatile plant, creating all sorts of preserved goodies! We wish to share the knowledge.

​

Join Emma and Mel at Bare Health and explore ways to savour the wild garlic season sustainably and safely.

​

We will head out for a local forage, and other spring greens and explore through a hands on full day workshop with 2 ways to preserve your harvest. One way being lacto ferment. We will look at cultured butter, salts, pickles, crackers, kimchi, kraut, miso and pesto of course!

 

We will explore how to enjoy the plant through the season and enjoy a spring lunch together.

​

We look forward to seeing you there. Spaces are limited to 10
