maintaining our mental wellbeing; more than ever when we experience isolation, restriction and loss of community life in lockdown, and with uncertainties in our current times.

Part 1: Micro Practices in Mental Health

Participants who attend this session are encouraged to register for Part 2: Day-to-day Self Care + Creativity.

Description: Explore a universal tool, The Window of Tolerance, for checking in, noticing, and doing a personal mental health check. Learn how to develop a practice of tuning into physical and emotional responses that stop you from
getting on with your day.

Learn how a range of creative practices and habits can offset these experiences, and identify some micro practices you can bring into your day.

Experience a Creative Adventure with artist Sally Ann Conwell, through
imaginative play, drawing, storytelling.
