March New & Updates
Dear Reader,
The Wellbeing Ateliers
Rest and Restore 25% of proceeds from the meditation class will be going to a Syrian earthquake relief charity
March 2023
This month we will be exploring the who, what, where and why of the company we keep, the people, places and things that fill our time. As always we will approach this through practical and simple activity based tools that increase our neuroplasticity, the lifelong capacity of the brain to change and rewire itself in response to the stimulation of learning and experience.
As part of my own exploration of the company I keep I’ve given up Instagram for Lent. One week in I’ve noticed how I am making more time for the real life connections and also how I can be fairly creative in wasting my time, and how necessary that actually is for my wellbeing. I hope you’ll join me in this months wellbeing adventure, here's how:
Rest and Restore 25% of proceeds going to a Syrian earthquake relief charity The White Helmets - 7 sessions 60 £/€
Beginning again 10th March for seven sessions at a new time of 10am in France, 9am UK. In this mediation series we will explore the theme of the company we keep. The sessions are designed to support you to live a more intentional and present life in the turmoil, tranquility and general substance of the day to day Offering an opportunity for you to take an active step in taking care of our own health and wellbeing and this series you’ll be donating to a good cause.
