Crafts

Lead facilitator: An EDV Staff member

EDV's craft session offers a supportive and chill space to connect with others from the EDV Community and EDV team in person whilst crafting away - no art or craft experience necessary. There will be various crafts supplied for participants to engage with during the session.

Gentle Movement and Relaxation Session

Lead facilitator: Mel is an EDV staff member and is a trained yoga instructor.

We will be offering a gentle movement and relaxation session in a supportive space to reconnect with your body through calming practices that promote self-compassion, stress relief and grounding - always at your own pace, with no pressure or expectations. This in person session will be guided by an EDV staff member who is an experienced yoga teacher. The focus will be on mindful movement and can be adjusted depending on your physical access needs.
