We’ve been running Mindfulness workshops occasionally for the past few months, with the ethos of creating a calm space for anyone looking to take a little bit of time out of their day to step back and take note of life’s current priorities. Wellbeing practitioner Megan Mattravers returns to deliver free online workshops on Sunday 14th April 2024 via Instagram Live with the idea of supporting you with wherever you’re currently at emotionally/mentally – with the tools needed to help you check in whenever needed – continuing on a positive note and seeing in the new year with good intentions. Timings are the same as before, 1pm/1:30pm with sessions lasting 30 minutes in total.

Our initial workshops included mindful writing – an exercise encouraging us to stay rooted in the present moment and pay attention to our 5 senses, and a body scan – an exercise again keeping us in the present moment (this is a scan of the body mentally, bringing awareness to any tensions within the body) and cultivating calmness. There were opportunities to share thoughts and feelings if you wanted to throughout, with participants feeling mentally energised for the week ahead.
