Come and learn some simple tools which will help you promote your wellbeing. You’ll learn to deal positively with the stress of day-to-day living on our 8-week course. Why not take some time to care for yourself?
In the sessions we will be looking at breathing exercises, learning to meditate, apply mindfulness to our everyday life; develop a greater awareness of the body including gentle movement exercises; actively listening to music and poetry as well as sharing our experiences in a warm and supportive environment.
