Building Community, Celebrating Life, and Promoting Well-being
At Vedicca London, we believe in creating a supportive environment where older adults can connect, grow, and thrive. Our executive committee regularly checks in to ensure no member feels isolated or lonely. Ideas, customs, traditions, and suggestions are all respected and welcomed in our family.
Our activities are thoughtfully designed to foster meaningful interactions, promote physical and mental well-being, and celebrate the richness of life that meet individual and collective needs.
Walk & Yoga
Accessible to all, join us for our for bi-monthly chair yoga sessions held at Vedicca London’s get togethers at the North Harrow Methodist Church (see calendar for dates and details). These sessions focus on gentle movements and breathwork to promote relaxation and physical health. Additionally, we host Walk & Yoga sessions twice a week at Headstone Manor Park, Pinner View, Harrow HA2 6PX, every Wednesday and Sunday from 10–11 a.m. These free sessions are open to all and provide an opportunity to connect with nature and fellow community members.
Celebrations & Entertainment
We celebrate life’s milestones and special occasions with enthusiasm and joy. From birthdays and anniversaries to cultural festivals and solemn remembrances, our gatherings are filled with music, dance, and heartfelt connections. Members are encouraged to share their special days with the community, and our team is here to support and facilitate these celebrations.
Bhajan Sandhya & Havans
Recognizing the challenges of isolation, especially during the pandemic, we introduced Bhajan Sandhya—a weekly service to bring communities together in spiritual harmony. Now held monthly at 25 North Park Road, Richings Park, Iver SL9 0DH, these gatherings offer solace, hope, and a deep spiritual connection. Additionally, we perform havans quarterly to express gratitude and pray for the well-being of all. These services are open to all, and we also offer assistance with priest and bereavement services.
Workshops
Our specialized workshops address various aspects of health and well-being, including managing conditions like diabetes, anxiety, and hypertension. We also offer insights into financial matters such as wills and inheritance tax, as well as spiritual teachings based on the Vedas and the Bhagavad Gita. These workshops are designed to empower our members with knowledge and support.
Opportunity Knocks
At Vedicca London, we believe every member has unique experiences and talents to share. Our “Opportunity Knocks” sessions are group discussions and activities planned to ensure everyone feels heard and valued. These sessions provide a platform for members to showcase their skills, share life experiences, and discover new talents in a supportive and inclusive environment.
Trips
We are always excited to organize regular trips, including picnics, tea parties and lunch outings for our members as well as the larger local community. These excursions are designed to provide relaxation, enjoyment, and opportunities for socialization, helping to counter isolation and promote a sense of community.
