Sowing the
seeds of change and positivity through a series of creative, sensory based, wellbeing
workshops.
Throughout this course of holistic workshops, we
will concentrate on one sense per session, with the sixth session being an
opportunity for participants to consolidate and enhance the work they have
created.
Participants will be encouraged to explore and
respond to their feelings and surroundings through the media of creative writing,
art, wellbeing and sensory exercises.
In addition to this exploration and the
acquisition of practical skills, participants will have the chance to mix
socially, whilst working on the goals they wish to focus on.
Set in Reculver Country Park, Bloomin' Marvellous!
will take place in HatHats Coastal Classroom, with its sea views, rolling
countryside and the iconic Reculver Towers as picturesque backdrop and
inspiration.
Each session will be delivered by two workshop
leaders, both with wide experience in their field, current DBS and Public Liability
Insurance.
