HEALTH & WELLBEING 

Building Resilience
Saturday 13 Nov, 9am-1pm, 1 morn $40*
Imagine sharing a lovely safe and enjoyable space, with only a few people who are there to relax.  Have life feel easy for a while, feel free of responsibility, and just have fun. Bliss!  What is the relationship between creativity and resilience?  According to one study, "creativity encourages positive emotions that can unlock our inner resources for dealing with stress and uncertainty", resulting in you enjoying life more. This is an invitation to have a 'play date' and make up your own mind, checking in with how it feels to be able to show up, be taken care of and then leave feeling refreshed and inspired.  Through the use of watercolours, splodges, doodling and some guided practice you will be giving yourself permission to feel relaxed and blissful.

Mindfulness Meditation

Thurs 6-7.15pm, starts 28 October, 6 weeks $40*
The greatest misunderstanding about meditation is the misconception that you need to clear your mind of all thoughts. Meditation is not about clearing the mind; it is simply about being in a relaxed state in which the mind is free of scattered thoughts and overthinking. Meditation is proven to have many health benefits for the mind, body and spirit. Join Shannon on a six week journey to discover inner peace amongst the noisy confusion of life. Each week will build upon the techniques you learn, providing you with the skills to easily integrate the practice into your day to day life. Limited spaces.

Boost Your Immune System with Self-Lymphatic Massage

In this workshop you will learn how to help improve the lymph fluid circulation and prevent illnesses such as the flu. The Lymphatic massage involves a very gentle touch, so is also suitable for older students, but is very effective. It can be beneficial for swelling or edema, fatigue, stress, sinus, skin care, sleep difficulties and digestive problems. Learn the basic mechanisms of the lymph system and some acupressure points for boosting your immune system. This replaces the class scheduled for last term so there are limited spaces available.
