I thought I would let you know about two activities which I am involved with and which I invite you to participate in if you are interested.
Every week now I lead a Wellbeing Class using gentle healing techniques like simple Tai Chi moves, fingerholds, mindful meditation and healing visualisations to name a few. Many/most of these body practices come from my training in Capacitar which I did in Edinburgh under the tutoring of Pat Cane, a serene septuagenarian who travels the world supporting communities and groups who have experience trauma through war, natural disaster or genocides. She also works in schools and supports mental health organisations.
For me these practices help with my mental and emotional wellbeing and also support me spiritually in my faith, using some of them as prayer practices. The Tai Chi and other movements are for me a way to connect with God, get out of my head and reach out in prayer for others.
You can find out more about Capacitar and the techniques I use by going to www.capacitar.org or www.capacitaruk.org
You can join the online class I lead which will meet next on Monday 27th July at 7pm. Just message me for the code. There are other classes led by colleagues which you can connect to if this time and day does not suit you. If you are looking for something gentle and physical to support your mental health this would be idea.
The second activity is an event I am leading...I will post a separate blog about this.
