We spent some time talking about what self-care means to us and realised that we all have some things in common; firstly the fact that when you dedicate yourself to supporting others, you often forget to do the same for yourself and secondly, an appreciation of the sights, scents and sounds of the natural world around us; from freshly cut grass, to wood shavings to the scent of a luscious lemon.
The feedback that the session has received so far has been fantastic:-
‘nice to have a dedicated space to think about our own wellbeing’
‘very pleased to receive the lavender, which inspired me to go to the garden centre to buy some other herbs & plants’
‘…made you more self-aware to try and take better care of yourself…it was so nice to have something to look forward to’
