Had a lovely day with wonderful people doing our Zen Den in the cabin at the walled garden at Flourish at Woodfield Park Community Interest Company

Drumming, journaling and hand massage…

Listening to ourselves - our minds, bodies and intuition and listening to each other whether it was a drum beat or an open share.

We love the fun and laughter that these sessions bring and it was nice to see old faces, new faces and surprising faces that decided last minute this was the thing they needed over a nap 🤣 👏

Cabin sessions are taking a break for August (but we’ll be at Doncaster Pride on the 8th August if anyone wants to visit us there!) and the next session is a full on drumming one Wednesday 2nd September.

Thanks to everyone who joined us today 😘

Reminder to book on for Wednesdays session if you haven’t already…

Or just say ‘I’m coming’ 👇

Wednesday is ZEN DEN 🙏

Learning to Listen... By Being Present.

We'll have ENERGY with a drumming session 🪘 exploring the primal nature of sound and how to communicate through it...

Then we'll have REFLECTION with a guided writing ✍️ activity tuning into how to listen to the mind and your instincts...

And we'll end with CALM by connecting and listening to the body through hand massage 🤝

It's an opportunity to give yourself time to really listen to your body, your mind and your intuition.

Hope to see you there!

On Saturday we delivered our Don’t Hide Your Pride event at Flourish at Woodfield Park Community Interest Company🪘 🌺 🎨

We’ve had some fantastic feedback about how wonderful the day was and the effort that was put into delivering the sessions we did.

🪘 We had a wonderful Regulation Station with drumming and gentle movement to connect your body.

🌺 We had the gorgeous Relaxation Station where attendees used natural ingredients to make hand scrubs and connect to the importance of self-care.

🫟 We had the fabulous Creation Station with ‘making your mark’ and finding flow in the creative

We also had the wonderful Bangtastic crew putting on a performance and a visualisation and mediation session to end the day 🥰

Praise and thanks goes out to everyone in front and behind the scenes for making the day itself so successful and as beautiful as it could be.

Community felt strong and connected both at the event but also with the people who help support the CIC work we do 🥰

Making hand and foot scrubs and massage oil for self-care.

Yesterday was our monthly cabin session and we had such a gorgeous (and messy!) time making some self-care products.

Touch is an important part of connection, whether that’s from another or from yourself - giving yourself respected time and care.

All the herbs were from our garden using lemon balm, rosemary, thyme and rose petals… nature has such wonderful ingredients for our self-care.

Our next session is Zen Den on Wednesday 1st July 1-3pm. Let us know if you’d like to join us 👇

When was the last time you spent a whole weekend just being you?

Not mum.
Not partner.
Not employee.
Not the person holding everything together for everyone else.

Just... you.

Sack off the endless to-do list, stop rushing around and turn off those notifications demanding your attention.

Enjoy fresh air, good food, creativity, laughter, meaningful conversations and the space to hear your own thoughts again.

That's what Wild Soul Rising was created for.

A weekend where wellbeing isn't squeezed into a spare hour between everything else.

It's the priority.

A place where strangers often leave as friends.

Where conversations happen around the dinner table, on woodland walks and over cups of tea.

Where creativity isn't about being "good at art".

It's about reconnecting with parts of yourself that daily life can sometimes bury under responsibilities.

And perhaps most importantly...

A place where nobody expects anything from you.

A place to just be.

We have just TWO places remaining for our September retreat and we'd love to fill them with women who are ready for a weekend of nature, community, creativity and genuine rest.

Because sometimes the most productive thing you can do is step away from everything for a little while.

Let us know if you're interested in finding out more.

For many people, Pride is a celebration.

A chance to wave a flag, join a parade, dance, connect and be visible.

But what about the people who aren't quite there yet?

What about the person questioning their identity, the person who has never attended a Pride event before, or the person who simply wants somewhere quiet, welcoming and free from judgement?

That's the thinking behind Don't Hide Your Pride, a free LGBTQ+ wellbeing day taking place on Saturday 13th June, 10am to 4pm, at St Catherine's House, Doncaster.

This event has been designed as a safe and supportive space where people can explore what wellbeing means to them, connect with others and celebrate their individuality in a way that feels right for them.

According to the 2021 Census, more than 6,500 people in Doncaster identified as LGBTQ+, although organisers believe the true figure is likely to be higher as the question was voluntary and many people may still feel uncomfortable sharing this information.

We absolutely love Pride events and the incredible sense of celebration they create...

But we also recognise that not everybody feels ready for a parade or a party.

Some people are still figuring things out.
Some people are looking for connection.
Some people simply want somewhere they can be themselves without pressure, expectations or alcohol being at the centre of the experience.

The day will include a gentle programme of activities including nature connection, creativity, wellbeing sessions, opportunities to connect with local organisations and plenty of time to chat with others in a relaxed environment.

The event is open to LGBTQ+ individuals, allies, family members and anyone looking for an inclusive space where they can feel welcomed and supported.

We hope the event will help tackle isolation, encourage meaningful connections and demonstrate that wellbeing comes in many forms.

Sometimes wellbeing is a workshop. Sometimes it's a conversation. Sometimes it's realising you're not alone.

At a time when many people are looking for connection and community, we wanted to create a day where people could simply turn up as themselves and know they're welcome.

Don't Hide Your Pride takes place on Saturday 13th June, 10am to 4pm, at St Catherine's House, Doncaster.

The event is free to attend thanks to Grassroots funding, but booking is required.

Please share and you can find out more below 👇

Don’t Hide Your Pride 🌈

Saturday 13th June as part of Doncaster Pride we’re delivering an LGBTQ+ wellbeing event.

This creative and nature-based wellbeing event aims to bring together members of the LGBTQ+ community in a safe and welcoming environment.

The event will offer a range of accessible activities including creative workshops, mindfulness practices and community gatherings designed to encourage connection, expression and wellbeing.

Importantly, the funding will allow us to build on the connections created during the event because many community activities provide a positive one-day experience but do not always create longer-term opportunities for people to stay connected.

From research within the Doncaster LGBTQ+ community there seems to be a lack of resources and safe non-judgemental spaces for individuals to explore their identity and what wellbeing means to them.

We want to ensure that participants have ongoing opportunities to connect with others and access supportive spaces.

It’s free to attend but booking a place is essential so we know how many participants will be joining us.

For more information and the access to book just let me know (or use the QR code) or link here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/dont-hide-your-pride-wellbeing-event-free-tickets-1989904747667?aff=oddtdtcreator

We’re really pleased to have received grant funding from Groundwork’s in association with the People’s Postcode Lottery for Creative Wild Women to host this 🙏

Please share this on your pages, with your friends, within your communities so we can reach as many people as possible thank you ☺️

A creative and nature-based wellbeing event for the LGBTQ+ community to build confidence, connection and a stronger sense of belonging.
