Here's our timetable for the week ahead - sessions in both Bonnybridge & Bo'Here's our timetable for the week ahead - sessions in both Bonnybridge & Bo'ness.

All of our weekly classes are on. I always think November is a good time of year to start something new - get some momentum going before Christmas kicks everything out of sync! Why not come along to something?

As well as our usual weekly classes we have:
Creative Writing with Clare on Monday 7.30-9pm in Bonnybridge - these sessions stand alone, so come to the ones you can make.

Our Wellbeing Walk this week is in Callendar Park on Thursday - meeting outside the house at 10.30am, this is free for everyone to come to.

Our Gardening Group is meeting in Bonnybridge on Friday from 9am - getting into some planting - no gardening experience is needed, come along if you can.

This week's Friday Wellbeing session in Bonnybridge is all about "Getting our Needs Met" with Susie (10-11.30am).

We have our first Crafty Christmas workshop with Caroline from Green at Heart on Friday 12.30-2.30pm. Funded by Scotmid, these workshops are for women to get together and craft - making felt cards for Christmas-time.

Friday is a busy day in Bonnybridge as we also have Morag's Sound Journey 7-8.30pm

On Sunday Ali (Ali’s Yoga) is holding a Restful Sunday session in Bo'ness from 7-8.30pm - think gentle movement, some breathwork and a yoga nidra.

I'm here a day early, preparing for my Sinking into Stillness Retreat. Just enjoyed a beautiful Autumnal stroll, we'll be retracting my steps over the weekend.

The retreat is all about rest, in all of its different forms, and how we rest differently as the seasons change.

Can't wait to explore these themes further with my retreatants 🧡

For Stress Awareness Day tomorrow, I'd invite you to take a moment to see if you're carrying stress in your body.

And if you are?

Take a moment to ground yourself.

But also, create space in your live for the things you love. It's one of the easiest ways to reduce stress and to bring ourself back into balance.
