Yesterday I had the delight to visit Ark at Egwood (just outside Merriott, close to Crewkerne). A land based project offering a plethora of support to the community. Whether its willow weaving workshops, volunteering opportunities, day services, or their popular Pain Cafe there could be something to add wellbeing in your life. Find out more of what they offer here- https://arkategwood.com/

😊Back by popular demand - ARK's Pain Management Workshop😊

Good evening. We hope you have had a good week and are all safe and well following the recent weather.

We are excited to be offering another Pain Management Workshop commencing Monday 16th February, which will run for 11 weeks, between 1015 and 1215.

The 'Ten Footsteps' programme is for anyone who lives with persistent pain on a regular basis and is interested in exploring alternative ways to manage this in a supportive environment with lived experience facilitators. There is then an option to remain part of a peer group at the end.

Places will be limited, therefore if you are interested in attending or want to know more, please email jon@arkategwood.com to book your place. We look forward to you joining us ☺️

Rewriting happiness.

What keeps us happy and healthy as we go through life? If you think it's fame and money, you're not alone – but, according to psychiatrist Robert Waldinger, ...

Parenting in a world of technology can hold many (many) complexities and challenges. There is no easy answer but I'm glad to share this useful parenting guide based on research of UK teenagers. It makes quite a lot of assumptions about how reasonable a young person might be around having phone restrictions... I'm certain it would bring good results long term. I'd love to hear how it works in practice. Sending a cheer for every parent navigating this with their children.https://assets.childrenscommissioner.gov.uk/wpuploads/2025/12/cc-what-i-wish-parent-guide.pdf

Really glad to see such clear writing that when it comes to food we can’t blame individual choice. We live in a system of ultrprocessed, hyperpalpable, hyper marketed non-food which creates huge profit for them but leaves us craving and without the necessary nourishment for well-being. I’d love the system to change overnight but revolution can begin in personal empowerment by gaining the skills, knowledge and ways of living well with ease. This is why Somerset Council fund all my workshops to help you improve your physical and emotional health in a deep yet simple way. Courses and workshops start this month.

I wanted to share this map with everyone again because it's so important. Every time I look at it, it reminds me exactly why I do what I do.

The UK sits alone in red, the only European country where more than half of household food purchases are ultra-processed. We've become the unhealthiest nation in Europe, and it's not because we lack willpower or discipline. It's because our food system is broken.

Think about it. Portugal manages just 10.2%. Italy sits at 13.4%. France at 14.2%. These countries haven't discovered some magical secret. They've simply held onto something we've lost: a culture of real food, cooked from scratch, shared with family and friends. Meanwhile, we've handed our health over to food manufacturers who care more about profit margins than our wellbeing.

I'm not interested in pointing fingers at individuals. This isn't your fault. For decades, the food industry has spent billions engineering products designed to make you eat more, buy more, crave more. They've stripped the fibre out, pumped the sugar in, and marketed it all as convenient, affordable, and perfectly acceptable. They've captured our taste buds, hijacked our metabolism, and left us wondering why we can't shift the weight or find the energy we used to have.

But we can turn this around. Not through government mandates or another failed public health campaign, but through a grassroots movement of people who refuse to accept this as normal anymore.
