Mike Flanagan (The Haunting of Hill House, The Haunting of Bly Manor) has described Midnight Mass as his most personal work. The unsettling series is an inquiry into the double barrels of faith and addiction both of which Flanagan has struggled with. The setting, a remote island, also draws from Flanagans life as he spent his childhood on a lonely little island.

The show opens with the arrival of two people to Crockett Island. Riley (Zach Gilford) returns home after serving four years in prison for killing a teenager while driving under the influence. The other arrival is a young priest, Paul Hill (Hamish Linklater), who comes as a temporary replacement for Monsignor Pruitt. The aging parish priest has gone on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land.

Rileys homecoming is prickly; though his mother Annie (Kristin Lehman) is welcoming, his father Ed (Henry Thomas) is not as forgiving. Having lost his faith in prison, Riley finds it difficult to integrate into deeply Catholic Crockett. Erin (Kate Siegel), who used to date Riley, has also returned to Crockett. She is pregnant and staying in her mothers house and teaching in school like her mum.

Midnight Mass

Rileys teenage brother, Warren (Igby Rigney) like Riley is an altar boy at church. Warren with fellow altar boy, Ooker (Louis Oliver) and Ali (Rahul Abburi), the son of Sheriff Hassan (Rahul Kohli) goes to an isolated part of the island to smoke up. That is when they realise something is off with the feral cats and hulking presence.

Bev (Samantha Sloyan) is the overbearing driving force at St Patricks riding roughshod over the more temperate Mayor Wade (Michael Trucco) and his wife Dolly (Crystal Balint). Bev bosses everyone around from the handyman Sturge (Matt Biedel) to the sheriff. She is the one who convinces all the townsfolk to agree to a settlement when an oil spill wrecked the coastline and the fishermens livelihood. Meanwhile, the mayors daughter Leeza (Annarah Cymone) is wheelchair-bound after a shooting accident at the hands of the town drunk, Joe (Robert Longstreet).

Sarah (Annabeth Gish) is the island doctor caring for her mother Mildred (Alex Essoe), who suffers from dementia. Covering the period between Ash Wednesday and Easter Sunday, Midnight Mass has used the names of books from the Bible for the episodes, starting with Genesis through Psalms, Proverbs, Lamentations, Gospels and Acts of The Apostles culminating in Revelation.

Midnight Mass is at its strongest as it meditates on humanity, faith and the afterlife. Sheriff Hasans reasons for coming to the island, Erins coming to terms with her loss, Rileys meditation on mortality, Bevs scary conviction of being right and everyone else being wrong, Eds resentment for his son, and Joes refusal to forgive himself all create characters we care for intimately. The sonorous hymns including Abide with Me (a personal favourite) add texture to these lives lived in quiet desperation.

A lovely-looking and deeply-unsettling show, Midnight Mass draws you in gently and keeps you in a devilish vice. It is towards the end when all is revealed that the show loses its punch moving from disturbing and humanist to a splatter fest. All the cast members are great with Linklater and Sloyan zooming to the top of the class. Linklaters Father Paul sheds three skins revealing a distinct character under each one while Sloyan has nailed zealous Bev perfectly.

If you can forgive the incredibly talky bits (they are admittedly well-written), the distortion of comforting prayers (you will not be calling on the angel of god, guardian dear anytime soon) and the rather silly conclusion, Midnight Mass asks many disruptive questions that would stay with you much after the fire and brimstone ending.

Midnight Mass is currently streaming on Netflix

Jillian Lavender teaches celebrities, frazzled financiers and sleepless CEOs her stress-busting techniques, charging up to 2,000 for her time. She tells Bridget Harrison how to tackle anxiety

Jillian Lavender

CRAIG FORDHAM

Friday July 09 2021, 5.00pm, The Times

She wears tailored suits, speaks in no-nonsense Antipodean tones and was formerly an executive for a global publishing company. Meet Jillian Lavender, the go-to meditation teacher for hedge funders, top lawyers and chief executives, who sign up to her classes in London and New York, each paying up to 2,000 for her time.

These high-flyers turn to her to tackle stress, anxiety, insomnia and migraines. Brown rice and sandals this is not, Lavender says. A lot of people come to me because they want to stay at the top of their game but find coping with that pressure unsustainable eventually.

Among the thousands of pupils she has taught to meditate over the past decade are the actress Sienna Miller and the wellness expert Jasmine Hemsley.

Jillian Lavender, the meditation guru who helps high-flyers stay calm - The Times

Water is the lifeblood of the planet but in its salty form, it can also be a threat. Even as drought cripples the U.S. West and other parts of the world, rising oceans are lapping at the shores of coastal communities and islands, increasingly exposing natural ecosystems and built-up environments to flooding, storm surges and erosion.

For over two years, the Northampton theatrical ensemble Serious Play has been developing a multi-dimensional production that grapples with the threats climate change poses to water on different levels, and with it life on the planet as well as what Director Sheryl Stoodley calls our own relationships with water.

Now, after the pandemic wiped out any chance for live performances last year, Moving Water is set for a live debut July 22-25 at the Northampton Arts Trust building at 33 Hawley St., and an online screening July 30-Aug. 1. Using sound and music, movement, drama, video, a rain shower tool and rolling scaffolding, its the most ambitious production Serious Play has ever mounted, Stoodley says.

The technical stuff can make me crazy, she said with a laugh during a recent phone interview. But given everything were seeing today with drought, melting glaciersand rising seas, [the production] certainly seems timely.

And though the pandemic has delayed the presentation of Moving Water, Stoodley noted, its also helped foster a collaborative effort with other arts organizations to get the show to the finish line. Moving Water is being co-produced by the Ko Festival, the long-running summer theater festival at Amherst College which this year is offering virtual workshops and performances.

In addition, Northampton Open Media will record the live performances of Moving Water, then edit and caption them for online viewing July 30 through Aug. 1. Those presentations will also include real-time, post-show discussions with the Serious Play ensemble and guest experts; audience members can ask questions via Vimeos chat function.

Im so grateful for the support the Ko Festival and Northampton Open Media have shown us, and for the way art organizations in general have kind of pooled their efforts during this really tough time, Stoodley said. She hopes the videotaped performance can also be used as calling card for finding other venues for Moving Water.

In addition, Ko Festival Artistic Director and Co-Founder Sabrina Hamilton is handling the lighting for Moving Water.

Aside from delaying the plays debut, COVID-19 also took a toll on the cast of Moving Water, which Serious Play members first began researching in 2018. The ensemble held a couple of live workshops in 2019 to showcase parts of the production, but a few initial members of the cast had to drop out during the pandemic for economic reasons,Stoodley said.

Now the story, by playwright Eric Henry Sanders, focuses on three characters, while the pandemic, or an unnamed one, forms a backdrop to the narrative.

In an aging apartment building in acoastal U.S. city, three residents are thrown together amid debate about climate change and a shortage of fresh water. Sergei (Kermit Dunkelberg), the buildings superintendentand a refugee from the Chernobyl nuclear plant meltdownin Ukraine, discovers another resident and friend, Pakistani immigrant Zara, is missing. Two other residents, Luna (Ximena Salmern) and Drew (Will Swyers), join the search for Zara.

But there are complications galore. Zara had been working with Sergei, an older man whos been creating da Vinci-like experiments, as Stoodley puts it, to try and save the building from impending flooding. Meantime, Drew, the building owners son, dismisses climate change and is determined to maintain the status quo. And Luna, an oceanographic student from Mexico, may have very different ideas altogether on how to address water problems.

Luna represents the next generation and how they might approach these issues, Stoodleysaid. Im not sure our generation has the answers. Thats one of the questions [the production] asks: Are there other things we should be considering besides science and technology?

To tell this story on multiple levels, the stage will be backed by a screen on which Robin Doty, Stoodleys husband, will project a number of videos he has designed (including an image of Dunkelberg, wearing a snorkel and mask, walking down a street in a coastal New Jersey town that was underwater during Hurricane Sandy in 2012).

Jonny Rodgers, a composer and multi-instrumentalist from Oregon, has created the soundtrack for the production, a combination of electronic music and sounds from tuned wine glasses, also known as the glass harp. Rodgers will play the latter live at the show, Stoodley says, after working with Serious Play both live and virtually over the last few years.

The production also includes a water tank, and characters will get rained on during the performance. Rolling scaffolding represents the structure of the apartment building. The ensemble will also make use of Playtronica, a new electronic sound sensor technology that can make sound emanate from human skin or inanimate objects.

There are a lot of moving parts to this production, Stoodley noted with a laugh.

Moving Water will be staged in the Arts Trusts large, unfinished space (about 3,400 square feet), which provides lots of roomfor maneuvering but also poses additional challenges, such as rigging special lights for the play, as regular lighting is not yet part of the space.

Stoodley says the play is designed to be a really immersive experience, as its based on company members research and their own personal histories and memories of being in contact with water. That research, she notes, involved talking to and reading accounts of people who grew up in areas of chronic water scarcity.

Its really about the beauty and terror of water, she said. Water is a gathering point for the story but we didnt want to do make this just a story of disaster. We wanted it to be about empathy and about finding ways of coming together to try and deal with a crisis.

Tickets for the live performances of Moving Water, which take place July 22-24 at 8 p.m. and July 25 at 4 p.m., must be purchased in advance no walk-in sales will be available at kofest.com. Seating will be limited to 50 people per show.

Tickets for the online version of the play, at 8 p.m. on July 30-31 and 4 p.m. on Aug. 1, can also be purchased at kofest.com. Tickets for both versions of the production range from $32 (patron price), $22 (discounted price), and $10 for those with SNAP/EBT cards, on unemployment or with income affected by COVID-19.

Walking outdoors and mindfulness

Meditation is a practice that is beneficial for the mind and body. Taking a little time to relax and clear your head is important for a balanced life. The dictionary defines meditation as engaging in contemplation or reflection, or practicing mental exercise (like the concentration on breathing or repetition of a mantra) for the purpose of reaching a heightened level of spiritual awareness. If you prefer to move while doing this kind of deep thinking, walking meditation might be the best method for you.

While some practices require you to sit still or lay down, walking meditation is a chance to move around with a concentration on your body and how it feels. According to Peloton yoga instructor and meditation coach Dr. Chelsea Jackson Roberts, "Walking meditations are specifically designed to cultivate awareness and mindfulness while moving." Whether you move along a path indoors or head outside to be one with nature, walking meditation is one way to center yourself while getting some exercise.

Related: Two Simple Meditation Methods You Can Do Anywhere

Before you begin your walking meditation journey, consider what you'd like to get out of the experience. "Be intentional about where you want to walk, how long you will walk, and make sure that you are dressed comfortably in order to reduce any distractions. Make a plan [for] your intention during the walk," suggest Dr. Jackson Roberts. After you've prepared yourself it's time to figure out where you want to go. Travis Eliot, yoga instructor, meditation teacher, and co-founder of Inner Dimension TV, suggests finding a spot where you feel the most comfortable. "To prepare for walking meditation, find a quiet place where you can walk comfortably back and forth for 10-20 paces," he says. "It can be indoors or outdoors but it should be an environment where distractions are minimal and you feel at ease."

Story continues

Once you've chosen your location and set your intentions, it's time to start moving. When asked about the steps of walking mediation spiritual teacher and author Mathew Ferry acknowledges that meditation can take many forms. "There are no rules to meditation, and you have full discretion to be creative," he says. But if you really need a jumping-off point, Eliot suggests choosing a path and getting in proper alignment. "Begin by standing at one end with your feet spread about hips distance for stability. Allow your arms and hands to rest comfortably down along your sides. Close your eyes, and take a moment to feel grounded and centered. Feel the physical sensation where your feet make contact with the ground," Eliot explains. Then, when you're ready, slowly open your eyes in what Eliot calls a relaxed state of alertness.

Begin to walk slowly along your selected path and relax and let your walking feel natural. "Bring awareness to each step as you experience the sensations of lifting and placing your foot on the ground. Move at a pace that keeps you most present and aware. When you get to the end of the path, pause for a moment-center yourself, slowly turn around, pause again and when ready, proceed with awareness back along the path," Eliot says. Continue this practice for 10 minutes or longer. You can customize these steps as you see fit, as long as you focus on the point: inner peace.

More than its obvious physical pros (we all know walking is a great form of exercise) walking meditation can have many health benefits. "The intention of walking meditation is to develop and nourish an embodied awareness as you move. A walking meditation practice connects your mind and body to the present moment," says CorePower Yoga master trainer Amy Opielowski. The benefits of this practice include a calm and clear mind and supporting your ability to focus and to be fully present in each moment, explains Opielowski. "As you learn how to show up fully for each moment of life you will experience an overall expansive sense of wellbeing."

Ferry points out that letting go of negative interactions, gaining insight, and getting clarity about the next steps in life can be obtained through the quiet time you spend with yourself during walking meditation.

Global Yoga And Meditation Accessories Market to Generate Exciting Opportunities in the Industry by 2027 The Manomet Current - The Manomet Current

England forward Raheem Sterling has said he meditates in his downtime during the Euro 2020 to "stay connected" to his body and brain.

Sterling scored in Sunday's 1-0 win over Croatia as England began the Euros with a victory for the first time in nine attempts.

The Manchester City forward, who was at the weekend awarded an MBE for his services to racial equality in sport, said meditation helped him feel relaxed.

"I'm doing a little bit of meds," Sterling told British media. "I try and do it before I go to sleep get relaxed before I go to sleep. Just taking time out, being thankful and grateful for the day.

"(I'm) just trying to get connected. On the whole, not a lot of us get connected to our bodies and our brains so I am trying to get everything as one connected and be in a good place," he added.

Q. The pandemic makes your book especially timely, as it's partlya meditation on another illness, AIDS. Is that just a coincidence?

A. Yes, it is a coincidence, but I believe entirely in coincidences, especially as they happen in the process of writing. So the work becomes a meditation on pandemics, morality, the body, all stuff that was already in the Guibert novel and felt so eerily magnified in the process of living through and writing the book.

Q. What have you read lately that you would recommend, and what are you planning to read next?

A. I recently wrote the introduction to the Portuguese writer Maria Judite de Carvalho's 1966 novel,Empty Wardrobes, translated by the great Margaret Jull Costa and published by Two Lines Press. I've also been loving the novels of the French writer, Marie NDiaye, translated by Jordan Stump, also published by Two Lines Press.

I've been reading the diaries of the artist, Eva Hesse, for a novel that I'm working on that, in part, thinks through her sculptural practice. Next up is School of the Arts Professor Susan Bernofsky's biography of Robert Walser, for an event that I'm doing with her via the Center for the Art of Translation, in June. I also am looking forward to reading Thalia Field's new collection,Personhood.

Q. What are your summer plans?

A. I have an eight-month-old baby and a four-year-old, so my summer will revolve around them, and going to Prospect Park with them hopefully almost every day. I also am intending to eke out some of the collection I'm working on,The Missing Person.

Q. You're hosting a dinner party. Which three scholars or academics, dead or alive, would you invite, and why?

A. I would definitely invite friends who are thinkers and writers I love that I long to seeBhanu Kapil, Sofia Samatar, Danielle Dutton, T. Fleischmann are four that come to mind, but there are many more! And I probably wouldn't host a dinner partyI would try to attend a dinner party someone else hosted if I had childcare!
