So why is movement so important for connecting our communities? Let me explain in this video now!

A couple of weeks ago we led a workshop with Glitter Cymru this past weekend, using movement and props to represent our community and how we are all interlinked!

Glitter is a community based organisation for ethnically diverse LGBTQ+ people organising meetups, advocacy and community events. They are a longtime partner of The Body Hotel

It is such a joy to see so many different people getting involved with our projects and moving together with us 🙂

Have you had a super busy March without a chance to rest, pause and reconnect with yourself?

This Saturday, I’ll be holding a Self Care Saturday workshop — a gentle, creative space to step out of daily life and check back into your body.

Together we’ll explore movement as a way to energise, recharge and unwind, while also reflecting on what it means to truly nurture ourselves. There’ll be space for creativity, play, and simply being — as well as the chance to connect with others in person.

You don’t need any movement experience. The session is open to all abilities, and the space is inclusive and wheelchair accessible.

🕙 Saturday | 10am–1pm
University of South Wales

RSVP link in bio!

If you’ve been feeling the need for a pause, or a different kind of reset, you’d be very welcome to join us

Something I often notice in my work is how easy it is to lose connection with our bodies, especially when we’re working or busy caring for others.

This creative movement resource is an invitation to gently check in with yourself, even for a few minutes.

Developed with Arts Council of Wales as part of the Cultural Cwtsh wellbeing hub, these simple, guided exercises are designed to help you energise, recharge or unwind through movement.

Dance experience isn’t necessary just the willingness to try something new. Whether it’s a quick body check-in or a short creative reflection, the aim is to support awareness, confidence, and a moment of pause in the day.

As caring professionals, it can be difficult to prioritise our own wellbeing. But often, our bodies are already telling us what we need — movement can help us listen.

When was the last time you paused to check in with your body?

Thank you to Arts Council Wales and Hapus for making this possible - these tools are available for free on the Hapus.Wales website

Was great to attend the National Framework for Social Prescribing Showcase. Great to share thoughts and dreams for social prescribing with arts in health experts, Body Hotel Lodgers and leading researchers in this field. Lots of hope for communities and social prescribing. Its definitely the way to go!

Clinical supervision is key to my practice- We creatively process not only my sessions but also reflect on my professional identity. Want to share an excerpt of my process and a poem (below) with my clinical supervisor Melanie Beer who is a drama movement therapist.

Creative arts therapists provide unique creative insights to support practitioners understand their clients, group process and their professional identity. (More about the whole process on my LinkedIn page)

My clinical supervisor, Melanie Beer is a dramatherapist (Sesame Method - drama movement theraoy) and we have worked together for over 6 years. So grateful to her!

Artemis Poem
I am who I am
And I know who I am
I can take care of myself
Under all circumstances
And I can let others care for me
I can choose
There is no authority
Higher than my own
My powers of discernment are finely honed
I am autonomous
I am free from influence
Of other’s opinions
I am able to separate
That which needs separation
So a clear decision
Can be reached
I think for myself
I set my sights
And aim my bow
My arrows always find their mark
(The Goddess Oracle by )

We’re getting ready for the MENOMOVE evaluation at the end of February — and we wanted to share what we learned from our Self‑Care Suite work with NHS staff.

Movement sessions helped people feel more energetic, less stressed, and more connected to their colleagues. Simple tools like short grounding exercises and breathing breaks were easy to use during a busy shift. If you want your organisation to incorporate this into their offerings, get in touch! Full eval report on our website: https://www.thebodyhotel.com/self-care-suite

More on MENOMOVE soon. ❤️
