Our updated website
Once upon a time, these blog pages were our main website, but we outgrew them.
We now have a new streamlined website for all the necessary information. These pages with the links in the menu above, will be undergoing an overhaul as we transfer the essential information over to the new website. What we will be leaving here is the blog posts and other essentials like the tutorials etc.
Please feel free to visit our website here or by clicking the image above.
You will notice that the website address is the same, so there's no need to update any bookmarks. The blog pages have gone back to its host domain.
To keep the top menu on our website simple, you can access this blog via the "Visit Blog Pages" on the front page of our crisp, new website.

Anyone interested in a Mindfulness Mandala Class?
Following the end of the previous community Mandala Classes for beginners, which were extremely popular, we polled our members about how, where and when the next ones should run.
The next classes will run a little different as we have determined that some young people are interested and can concentrate for the length of time for allotted for the classes. These young people will need to be accompanied by an adult. However, the accompanying adult does not need to participate if they do not wish to.
If you are interested in attending a Mindfulness mandala Class based in our community, please let us know here.

Wait? What? Did we say "Gift Cards" ????
They are an excellent way to gift someone that Mandala Class they've always wanted to attend, or that workshop that all the little ones want to come to too.

Our reservation system explained
Since some restrictions have been lifted allowing the Taff Rocks Community Workshops to re-open, we have needed to implement an advanced booking / reservation system. However, there has been some confusion over this and we hope this post will better explain it for everyone.
This information is related to the Free-Style Community Rocks Painting Workshops (eg. Taff Rocks Tuesday) and not classes and seminars where reservations can only be made for one person on one reservation.
