VISITORS enjoyed a pamper for both their bodies and their minds at the return of a popular spiritual festival.

Dragonfly Spiritual Event’s Mind Body Spirit Gathering took place at Charter Hall, in Cowdray Avenue, on Saturday and Sunday.

Featuring palm readers, pamper treatments as well as handmade crafts, hundreds of residents attended across the weekend.

Refreshments and snacks were available as well as information stalls hosted by a range of community groups such as Essex Wildlife Trust.

All the family were welcome,

with children’s activities also available.

Donations were accepted across both days for the Centre for Action on Rape and Abuse in Essex.

Dragonfly Spiritual Events has a number events coming up in north Essex, including a Mind Body Spirit and Craft Gathering at Marks Tey Parish Hall on December 8.
