Mindful Stargazing with Mark Westmoquette at Nethergill Farm
Sunday 27th February 2022 from 18:00pm to 20:00pm
Nethergill Farm
Oughtershaw, Buckden, North Yorkshire, BD23 5JS
Enjoy a fantastic evening connecting with the Universe with astrophysicist and Zen teacher Mark Westmoquette.
Mark offers a unique method of mindfulness-based on science and research, which encourages you to find a deep connection with the cosmos. Like any activity done with mindfulness, stargazing can help you slow down, de-stress, connect with your surroundings, feel more aware and alive, and help you (re)discover a childlike curiosity about the world around us.
You do not need any experience with mindfulness/meditation, or indeed stargazing! This event includes wood-fired pizza, snacks and hot drinks.
This event takes place as part of the Yorkshire Dales Dark Sky Festival 2022.
Please note that this has already taken place on 27/02/2022
