2019
December 2019 - Mindfulness Walk
We held a Mindfulness walk and placed beautifully decorated stones with positive messages on throughout Bradgate Park to reward everyone for attending and also positively promote walking outside in the fresh air and nature. The stones were left in the natural beauty for others to collect and be surprised!
'Such a beautiful relaxing walk this weekend! Refreshing, rejuvenating and just what we needed! Thank you to The Heera Foundation friends and family for your continued support.'
2nd November 2019 - Our Conference
The Heera Foundation held its first Protecting Mind” conference in November. It was most rewarding to bring all key organisations together at this event created to raise awareness of Menatl Health support and mindfulness. The conference was a great success; It was a very informative, engaging, thought provoking and emotional day. With a range of keynote speakers and workshop leads, we were able to break the stigma around mental health and raise greater awareness and better understanding about where to gain support.

31st March 2019 - Ramgharia Community Centre
Today The Heera Foundation had the opportunity to raise awareness of Mental Health Support and Mindfulness at the Ramgharia Community Centre in Birmingham. Great collaboration and networking.
Additionally, lovely seeing amazing artwork -Amandeep’s work has been described by many as having ‘a healing quality.’ One of her favourite pieces refers to a quote from the Gurbani- ‘Manjeet te Jagjeet’ translated as ‘When you truely conquer the mind, you can conquer the world.’ So deep and so meaningful when we consider mindset.
