"Creating places for people to be still"

About

Simple Reflective Spaces is all about creating opportunities for people to be still. Always being busy and hurrying around is detrimental to our physical and emotional well being.  Being still is an antidote to our technology driven world. 

We are made to be still.  

We can’t change the past and worrying about the future will not alter it.  We need to experience the now, be present in the moment.  

We need to be still.  

Being still gives a chance for us to rest, to process our thoughts, gain a better perspective, interact with the world around us, value who we are, be grateful and reconnect to our spiritual nature.
