World Mental Health Day

Introduction

In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to overlook the importance of our mental and emotional well-being. Through this workshop we will explore the transformative power of gratitude, understand how simple acts of thankfulness can rewire our brain, elevate our mood, and instil a sense of contentment and positivity in our daily lives.

Delve into a session on deep Breathing and Mindfulness to  reduce stress, cultivate a sense of clarity and learn to anchor ourselves in the present moment. By becoming more aware of our thoughts, feelings, and surroundings, we can respond to lif e’s challenges with grace and poise, rather than react impulsively.

The workshop will also includes engaging activities that spark joy and laughter, which are incredibly therapeutic, release endorphins and promote a positive mood.
