A NEW Meditation group is offering 'Come and Try Sessions' to help people in the valley enjoy the powers of relaxation.

David Jessop has organised the four-week free sessions to take place at Stacksteads Drop-In-Centre.

He said: "I would like to show people how to relax by exploring meditation, combined with a change in our perspective on life, we can reduce and finally eliminate stress, gaining relaxation and well being."

Everyone is welcome to attend and no experience of mediation is necessary. It is advisable to wear loose clothing and for women to wear jogging pants or trousers.

The four free sessions begin on Wednesday from 1pm-3pm.

If the course proves popular further day and evening sessions will be offered.
