🌱 What Is The Resilience Hub?

Over the coming months, the Mindful Therapies Centre will continue to develop as a Resilience Hub thanks to funding from Newcastle City Council's Newcastle Fund.

Current activities include:
🧘 Mindfulness
📚 Reflective reading groups
😂 Laughter Therapy
🍲 Cooking and connection
🎨 Creative wellbeing
💛 Counselling

We're continuing to grow the programme and welcome ideas from the community.

📚 The Words of Others

Did you know that poetry, prose, stories and song lyrics can all be used as a doorway into mindfulness?

Every Friday from 1pm–2:30pm, Rachel Jones-Wild and Alan Jackson facilitate The Words of Others, a reflective group exploring the attitudes of mindfulness through literature, music and discussion.

Each week focuses on a different attitude of mindfulness and participants are invited to bring something that resonates with the theme.

No literary expertise required.

🕐 1pm–2:30pm
