A colleague and friend is running a Christmas special of her awesome movement workshop. I have tried this myself and benefited from it.

This is a guided free form dance session designed to be a fun and interactive approach to exploring mindfulness. Sign up for the Stings session to let go and flow.

Tehani is a dramatherapist based in Sri Lanka. She will be running a guided movement session on Sunday, Dec 19 from 5-6:15 AWST. The session is designed to explore connection with our own body, and the natural world. It will be a time to connect with and tune into your body as you allow outside pressure to dissolve through your dance.

You don't have to be a dancer for this session. Just take off your shoes, wear something comfortable and lose yourself in movement!

Trauma impacts children's behaviour and inner world in a way that can isolate them and lead to other misinterpretating them. Here are some key things to keep in mind when we live and work with children impacted by trauma.

The trauma literature can be overwhelming. Its basis in neuroscience offers incredible insights into its impact. But it also is challenging to decipher and make relevant to the ways in which children that have experienced abuse and neglect can be effectively supported.
