With a previous NHS career I am passionate about the positive life changing benefits of Mindfulness. Helping people develop effective calming, techniques through mindful and somatic practices, create personal embodied presence in day to day life and bring more understanding and compassion to themselves and their lives is a joy and pleasure. A more mindful approach in life improves our physical and mental health, resiliency, joy and personal appreciation and connection with life.

Taking a bit of time out for me today πŸ’š I spent a lovely morning being led in some creative play, rather than leading it myself, for others.

It was wonderful to switch off, follow clear guidelines and playfully engage with natural materials, water and see what happened....

So many of my favourite things in one place!
πŸ’™ blue
πŸ’™ water
πŸ’™ plants
πŸ’™ gentle, quiet, space
πŸ’™ playing and being curious
πŸ’™ gentle company

I think mum will love her print!
I love my book cover!

When energies bigger than you sweep you along!

We've just moved into the year of the Fire Horse in the Chinese calendar. Leaving behind last year's Earth Snake. Its the biggest transformation in the Chinese calendar. From earthy no-legs, to firey four legs. From shedding layers, to momentum and movement. Apparently the Fire Horse creates decisive acceleration, pushing life out of stagnation.

I popped a red jumper on to quietly acknowledge the change, expecting a quiet admin day. However Fire Horse energy must have blown in when the window fitters removed all upstairs windows as unexpectedly I found myself finally stripping bathroom walls, after months of stagnation.......

2026 appears to indeed prompt motion, transformation and a powerful urge to move forward.

Welcome Fire Horse! I'm excited for this years transformation, flow, clarity and momentum

THURSDAY 12th FEBRUARY
1.15 -2.45pm, at GreatWood and HorseClose Community Centre
Our gentle Creative Mindfulness group activity is Slow Stitching - creating art from fabric scraps.....

No neatness or sewing skills are needed!

It's a playful, fun way to bring ourselves into calm and to put into practice so many helpful mindfulness principles.
🩡 non judging - no right or wrong
🩡 noticing - colours, shapes, textures
🩡 curiousity - playful exploration
🩡 softening - into the experience
🩡 letting go - of expectations
🩡 allowing - ourselves to simply 'have a go'
🩡 patience
🩡 slowing down
🩡 being present
🩡 focusing on just this one thing.....

Feedback is, it's;
Fun, calming, enjoyable, relaxing and a great way to spend a gentle, peaceful hour on a dark wet February afternoon.

Join us? Contact Jo Mitch on 07393 586347 first.

A warm welcome, warm space, brew and biscuits await you......

Real Conversations is a great tagline for a great local networking group, Ladies Who Latte (admittedly a less than great name!) Today was a joy. Meeting motivated positive women, keen to connect through conversation, offering advice and sharing support. Great ideas shared and practical problems solved.

I've nearly posted recently about how frustrated I've been feeling with the damage and difficulty caused by lack of real conversation.

It's disconnecting, distressing and makes life harder in so many ways. Ironical, in todays excess of communication, that the most fundamental one is being overlooked and relegated.

Today was refreshing and a tonic - thoughtful conversation and meaningful connection. And a wonderful warm welcome! Thank you.....

Did you know that listening to birdsong is a powerful system reset and health boost?

Research by King's College London, showed just 6 to 15 minutes lowers heart rate and cortisol levels and benefits can last for up to 8 hours.

​Our brains associate birdsong with safety, due to a lack of predators and cue our nervous systems to relax. This is because birds stop singing and are quiet when a threat is near.

​So not only is it a wonderful experience to hear birds singing and a joyful reminder spring is its way, there's also a positive benefit for us.

πŸ’š Use this simple, easy technique to support your health and calm body and mind whenever you're outside.
