Regular openings of the Meditation Centre** We continue to offer weekly gatherings each Sunday morning, opening our doors to regulars as well as newcomers. The session includes inspiring reading and video presentations relating to ethical values and leading a spiritual life, followed by a short meditation sitting with instructions. This is followed by a complimentary vegetarian meal prepared by volunteers. Attendees can borrow books or media from the library and mingle with one another after the session. All in all, we are offering people of all backgrounds to come together and enjoy an opportunity to learn about the daily meditation practice, so that they can bring about calm in their day-to-day life. ## **2. 10-Day Meditation Retreat with Dr Richard Scotti** This long and focused meditation retreat ran for 9 days, from 5-14th April 2024, and was hosted by Dr Richard Scotti, a renowned meditation workshop facilitator for Science of Spirituality. Between 25-40 individuals participated each day from the local area as well as members who travelled from Europe. The retreats offer individuals an opportunity to spend ample time away from their regular routines and experience deeper relaxation through longer meditation sessions. The days also include workshops, walks in nature at the nearby reservoir, delicious meals, and inspiring video showings. This was a highly successful programme which was very well received by all participants, particularly as we were unable to hold this annual retreat for some years during the covid period. ## **3. Public Talk at the Meditation Centre** On Friday 17th May 2024 we welcomed a guest speaker from India who gives talks and workshops that unravel the power of meditation and spirituality in everyday life. The talk was held at the Meditation Centre and was promoted within the city ~~.~~ Her talk entitled ‘Mastering your mind and emotions through Meditation’ was well received, as she was very engaging and motivational. ## **4. International Tour of Sant Rajinder Singh Ji** We were honoured to welcome the head of Science of Spirituality, Sant Rajinder Singh Ji for a UK tour. Public talk events took place at prestigious venues in the cities of Birmingham and London. Our local volunteers worked extensively with the venues and many service providers for several weeks, in order to host hundreds of attendees and cater for their comfortable stay. The inspiring talks attracted people of all faiths and backgrounds, and the atmosphere was charged with love for all humanity. The UK tour was followed by four weekly introductory sessions about meditation at our local Centre, aimed at those who wanted to develop their meditation practice further. 5. **One day meditation Retreats** The one-day meditation retreats offer attendees an opportunity to dedicate a whole day towards nurturing their spiritual practices and enjoy meditation sittings, readings and video throughout the day. This year the retreats were held on 19th August 2023 and 3rd February 2024, with several individuals travelling from outside Birmingham to enjoy the opportunity. ## **6. In reach activities and celebrations** Throughout the year we marked various occasions such as celebrating the birth anniversaries of our spiritual Masters (21[st] September 2024) as well as a Christmas Party (15[th] December 2024) that involved decorating the centre, organising party games with the children and enjoying lots of festive food. These events encourage bonding among volunteers, regular attendees and newcomers. ## **7. Sports Session for all ages** Fun session of Basketball and badminton session for at a local sports hall ## **8. Food bank Collection** During the year our Meditation Centre has donated non-perishable and long dated food items for those in need. The items have been collected and delivered to the local Spearhead Trust in Druids Heath. ## **9. Ruhani Post Magazine** The Ruhani Post Magazine, that features articles from the great Masters of Science of Spirituality, continues to be produced in both English and Hindi/Punjabi and is distributed free of charge. The magazine is disseminated largely via email with only a few hard copies, in order to reduce printing and postage costs and for environmental reasons. ## **10. Financial Information** We continue to use a professional accountant to produce annual accounts for our charity. ## **11. Maintenance & Insurance** In August 2024 all the ceiling lights and emergency lights were replaced. The Building Insurance and Public Liability Insurance are all up to date at the Meditation Centre. ## Update from London Group _We are pleased to present the annual report for the Science of Spirituality London group, summarising our activities and achievements from April 2024 to March 2025.
