A NEW group set to launch in Newton Abbot this month aims to prioritise and promote calmness.

Launching on Wednesday, April 23, The Calm Raft is a new, weekly wellbeing group that will meet at St Joseph’s Church Hall.

The 90-minute sessions will focus on taking time out of one’s day to be calm and explore the different techniques to achieve such.

Organisers Philip Eley and Lisa Pollen said: ‘One of the things missing in a lot people’s lives is calm.

‘We recognise this need to normalise calm, to help people actually connect with each other and support each other to find calm again.’

The sessions will have three distinct parts: Connection, Curiosity and Calm.
