💛 OCTOBER. WHAT A MONTH! 💛

We’ve been here, there and EVERYWHERE! 🚌✨

From Leeds to London, Cambridge to Coventry, and plenty of places in between, we’ve been spreading a little Zen wherever we go!

📍 University of Leeds
📍 Student Castle Leeds
📍 UCL Thrive Festival
📍 Student Castle Coventry
📍 Department of Engineering, University of Cambridge
💻 Online with LJMU and Student Castle

And there’s probably more we’ve forgotten! 😂

What a month of smiles, tears, sharing stories, learning new skills, teaching others, making connections and creating space for people to simply BE.

We’ve laughed, we’ve listened, we’ve hugged, we’ve held space. We’ve watched strangers become friends and seen what happens when people are given permission to pause, connect and look after themselves. 💛

We love what we do. We love the people we meet. And we absolutely LOVE supporting people.

It’s not just about wellbeing activities. It’s about those little moments of human connection that can make such a big difference.

To everyone who welcomed us, worked with us, joined us or shared a little piece of themselves with us this October — THANK YOU!

What a privilege it is to do this work.

Here’s to more connection, more kindness and more Zen in the world. 🌈

📍 Department of Engineering, University of Cambridge
📅 Thursday 22nd October
⏰ 1:30–4:30pm

A little pause in a busy day can make all the difference. 💛

LSE Welcome Week 💛

Well… this was popular! 😍

We joined LSE for their Welcome activities with a table full of simple ways to pause, create and connect — friendship bracelet making, Matchbox Affirmations and our Aromatherapy Station.

And we were genuinely blown away by the response.

Students stopped by, pulling up a chair, making bracelets, blending their own aromatherapy and creating little boxes of positivity to take away.

But our favourite bit? Watching people arrive on their own, start chatting across the table and leave having made a new connection. 🥹

Because sometimes wellbeing doesn’t need to be complicated. A shared table, something to make with your hands and a reason to start a conversation can be enough.

A VERY busy, very happy Zen table. 💛🩷💙

Thank you LSE for having us — what a way to kick off the new academic year ✨
