When Music Meets Mindfulness

Last weekend’s Union Street Party was awesome: The Four Horsemen rocked the WonderZoo stage while the street filled with music, food stalls, craft stalls, creativity and community vibes. Mindful Art Club directors, volunteers, and participants were spotted “throwing some shapes” among the crowds.

On Sunday September 21st Stonehouse hosted its 16th annual street party, drawing thousands of visitors to join the event. With the road closed from the Octagon to the Aldi car park, the street came alive with performances, food, and family-friendly fun.

Nudge Community Builders is a community organisation in Plymouth that works to bring life back to Union Street by rescuing neglected buildings, creating welcoming spaces, and supporting local people and businesses. They do this by buying and leasing properties for community use, running events and street celebrations, and enabling local ownership through community shares. Their focus is on strengthening the local economy by spending and recruiting locally, encouraging creativity and resilience, and caring for the history and environment of the area. At heart, they aim to build a street that local people are proud of and the wider world loves again.

Mindfulness Through Music

Experiencing live music can be a powerful way to practice mindfulness, helping you stay present, sharpen focus, and connect with others. Research shows these effects can ease stress and shift your state of mind in ways that support better mental health. By actively engaging with the performance and sharing the moment with those around you, you can tap into music’s emotional and physical influence to cultivate calm and deepen self-awareness.

Missed the Party?

Follow our new YouTube channel to catch more moments where art, music, and mindfulness come together.

How to Find Mindful Art Club at the Unitarian Church Hall in Plymouth

Looking for women’s art classes in Plymouth that also offer friendly company and mental health support? Mindful Art Club could be just what you need. Co-founder Peggy shows in her short video just how close the group’s venue is to the city centre — so if you’re wondering how to find Burgess Hall, here’s your step-by-step guide.

Women’s Mindful Art at Unitarian Church Hall – just three dates left!

From the City Centre to Burgess Hall

Start at St. Andrew’s Cross, right at the top of Royal Parade. From there, head down St. Andrew’s Street, next to St. Andrew’s Church. Keep walking along St. Andrew Street towards the Magistrates’ Court.

Once you reach the court, turn right, and you’ll soon see the Unitarian Church Hall (known as Burgess Hall) just around the back of the church. There’s even a handy shortcut through the nearby Baptist Church car park. In her video, Peggy makes it clear: it’s only a few minutes’ walk from Plymouth City Centre. You can also walk there from The Treasury Cafe-Bar on Royal parade, down Catherine’s Street.

Why Visit Mindful Art Club?

Mindful Art Club isn’t just an art group in Plymouth. It’s also a welcoming space for people looking for free mental health support in Plymouth. Each session combines creativity with mindfulness, offering a simple way to relax, connect with others, and boost your wellbeing.

In the video, Peggy gives us a glimpse of the friendly atmosphere as she arrives at Burgess Hall, sharing a laugh with Emma, who doesn’t really like to be on camera. It’s a reminder that the sessions are about community and fun, as much as they are about art.

Join Us

So, if you’re searching for art classes in Plymouth city centre, or a relaxed and creative form of free mental health support in Plymouth, why not come along? With this short video, finding Burgess Hall couldn’t be easier.

This Printable Autumn Colouring Page Creates Calm!

As the crisp air of autumn sets in and the leaves begin their colourful transformation, it’s the perfect time to immerse yourself in the calming practice of mindful art. Having a go at mindful art during this season offers a unique opportunity to enhance your mental wellbeing. The act of creating art mindfully allows you to focus on the present moment, reducing stress and anxiety while encouraging a deeper connection with yourself and the world around you.

Autumn, with its vibrant reds, oranges, and yellows, is an inspiring backdrop for creativity. As you create mindful art, you may experience a sense of calm, making it an ideal activity for nurturing mental health. The repetitive and rhythmic nature of colouring can be especially soothing, providing a meditative experience that quiets the mind and rejuvenates the spirit.

To help you begin this creative journey, we’re excited to offer a free autumn leaves colouring page. This downloadable resource invites you to explore the colours of the season while enjoying the therapeutic benefits of mindful art. Whether you’re an experienced artist or a beginner, this colouring page is a simple way to embrace the season’s serenity and enhance your mental wellness.

Mindful Art Club Launches New YouTube Channel: First Video Celebrates a Local Hero

We’re excited to announce the launch of the Mindful Art Club YouTube channel—a new space where we’ll share inspiring stories, creative moments, and community highlights.

In our very first video short, co-founder Peggy Melmoth visits The Box Museum in Plymouth and catches up with TV producer and author Matthew Tiller, whose book tells the powerful story of Jack Leslie—a pioneering Black footballer whose legacy is finally being recognised.

Jack Leslie, once denied the chance to play for England because of the colour of his skin, is now being honoured through the amazing work of the Jack Leslie Campaign. Matt Tiller’s book is a heartfelt tribute to a true local legend and a vivid portrait of lower league football in the interwar years.

As a Plymouth-based organisation, this story resonates deeply with us. To help raise awareness in a creative and mindful way, we’ve created a free Jack Leslie colouring page—a relaxing activity for all ages that celebrates this inspirational story.

[Download the colouring page here]
