Calm in the midst of the Storm: Your Anchor Within - Baton of Hope UK 2025

🌟 About Baton of Hope UK 2025

Baton of Hope UK is the country’s biggest suicide prevention initiative. Its mission is to bring change and hope to the world for a suicide-free society. Because no one deserves to die by suicide. The movement aims to spark vital conversations, break stigma, and offer hope to individuals and families touched by mental health struggles and suicide.

Hasu Innate Wellbeing is proud to support this cause by offering three introductory sessions to Zen meditation and mindfulness and remind us that:

Wellbeing begins within. It is accessible to all of us, whatever our circumstances.

Mind and body are not separate. We can learn how to work with both and bring them in alignment to restore our wellbeing.

Change is possible for everyone and it begins with awareness. Through conscious choices, and consistent practice, we can shift even entrenched patterns of suffering.

🌿 Why Mindfulness and Meditation?

Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially when we or someone we love is facing deep struggles. Moments of despair or hopelessness can feel all-consuming. Yet, through mindful awareness, we can learn to meet even the heaviest of feelings with awareness and compassion.

Through the practice of mindful meditation we begin to experience an important truth: all feelings, thoughts, and emotions are temporary no matter how awful or blissful. And we can learn to ride the waves without being swept away by them.

Backed by over 40 years of scientific research, meditation and mindfulness have been shown to:

Reduce stress, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm

Improve sleep and mental clarity

Support resilience and emotional balance

Strengthen self-compassion and perspective

Provide tools to support ourselves and those we care for

Whether you are living with suicidal thoughts, supporting a loved one through struggle, or simply seeking ways to feel grounded in your life, these sessions offer a gentle, hopeful way to support your wellbeing.
