Practitioners
Lorraine Williams
A communications and media professional with a strong interest and passion for mindful living. After many years in London, during which time she discovered mindfulness practice kept her sane and able to deal with multiple challenges, Lorraine has now settled in Thanet and brings her mindful approach, to the Thanet scene.
Lorraine is a long time student, practitioner and proponent of yoga, tai chi, qigong, humanistic psychology, mindful communications, meditation and general mindful practice.
Always open to new ideas and spotting connections between different disciplines, she is a very experienced Open Meditation leader and led the long established group, Open Meditation Camden, for several years, sadly missing that group when she moved. Hence Open Meditation Thanet was born and from there Mindfulness in Thanet has developed and continues to grow.
Lorraine is committed to mindfulness as a way of life and a technique for living that can easily be learned through simple sessions of mindfulness practice - she is always happy to lead groups who are interested, whether members are experienced at meditation or entirely new to it. Talk to Lorraine about attending an Open Meditation Thanet session on a Wednesday evening, or about arranging a Practical Mindfulness session for your group or workplace.
