Places to meditate in the UK:
The Space Upstairs, Ashburton, Devon
‘The Space Upstairs’ is the creation of Devon sannyasins, Chetan, carpenter, and Diana, artist. Chetan, a carpenter supreme (made the famous round table and bar at Croydon Hall among many other things), bought an industrial unit in Ashburton with the idea of having his workshop downstairs and a meditation space upstairs. He beautifully refurbished the upstairs space which Diana organises – offering meditation events, e.g. a meditation day, and an aesthetic space for other people to use as a venue since last year. There Yatro runs a bi-monthly ‘Singing for Fun’ group and Neo-Reiki Weekends and Diana has done Art Therapy events.
