2 SOUNDING WELL;with
Diana this will take place Thursday at
10 in The Haven room
‘Sounding Well’ – music
and sound for wellbeing
Although you may not think so, we
are all musical! From the rhythm of our
heartbeat to the tone of our voice, elements of music are with us in every
aspect of life.
Whether or not you play an
instrument or sing out loud you’ve probably found yourself tapping along to a
catchy rhythm, or maybe you hum to the car radio or sing in the shower?
These sessions will give you the
chance to explore music and sounds in different ways, including playing musical
instruments as well as listening. No
previous experience is required! Week by
week you will develop an understanding of how you respond to different types of
music and sound and how you can use these to help you in various ways. For example, certain sounds, musical
activities or musical styles may help you feel grounded and safe, others
relaxed, others energised.
We will have the opportunity to
share what helps (and doesn’t help) us with others in the group, supporting one
another to each understand our own unique needs better and to develop tools for
creativity and resilience. Every
participant will come away with their own musical ‘toolkit’ - a set of
resources you can draw on to help you day-to-day.

3.MINDFUL
MOVEMENT with Gina in WILLOW MINDFUL MOVEMENT.
This Mindful Movement practice will be open to all,
accommodations will be made in an effort to make it as accessible as possible
it will be a chair based practice incorporating gentle mindful movements,
breath practices, somatic practices and meditation lasting one hour per week
for a 6 week block.
These practices will promote body mind connection which
will hopefully bring the participant into the present moment, helping to
balance their nervous system, relieve tension in their body and make space for
stillness, focus and clarity of mind.
The intention for the class is that participants will
pick up tools they can use daily to help regulate their nervous system and
improve their wellbeing. It will offer an opportunity to connect with their
bodies in a meaningful way.
A general structure that each class will consist of:
● Welcome and settling in.
● Run through of what to
expect, encourage listening to body, no right or wrong way and be creative.
● Using senses to become
aware of the space we are in, then awareness turned
inward, body and breath.
● 5 point check in: mind,
body, breath, emotions and energy.
● Simple breath practice
● Somatic body practice
● Movement practice
● Somatic practice
● Breath practice
● Meditation
● Closing
