Bookmark the end of the Christmas Holidays this Sunday with Dr Luci Dobson and Mindful Family Time.
Come along to Moon at 2pm for an hour of mindful fun and creativity in this group session for children aged 3-8 and their grown ups.
We will promote connection with our children and embrace the present moment through stories, mindful movement, and creative play.
By slowing down and setting aside distractions, we can begin to see the world through our children’s eyes – how interesting and amazing everything can become when we welcome “the beginner’s mind”!
We will practice child-friendly mindfulness techniques such as breathwork, naming our emotions, and calming techniques, and we will learn how to meditate while enjoying time with our little ones.

Did you know that Great Britain only adopted 1st January as the beginning of the New Year in 1752... prior to that, it was 25th March.
Did you know that the first record of a new year being celebrated is in 2000 BCE, by the Mesopotamians. This fell on the first new moon after the Spring Equinox.
Did you know that homosapians have existed for approximately 190,000 years, but we have only marked New Year's Day as 1st January for approximately 0.23% to 0.14% of our existence.
It is a modern construct that doesn't reflect the rhythms of the earth (either the Northern or Southern hemisphere).
In this part of the world, we are in the depths of a slumbering winter and, apart from a smattering of eager snowdrops, the earth and trees are bare.
So eat that leftover cheese and/or cake, snuggle down, watch Mary Poppins (1960s version) and gently cast an eye to spring and the real new year.

December brings us not one, but two new moons... so here's the second newsletter of the month... you can find the full newsletter via our bio (or sign-up and you'll find it in your inbox) but here's a taster...
I hope this swirly, out of time and space moment of the year is finding you gently floating through the days, as we wave goodbye to Christmas and welcome the coming of the new calendar year. Although, equally, it could find you feeling cut adrift as you navigate the peaks and troughs of family life, festive 'fun' and the smudging of routine...
If you are looking towards the start of next week and want to lay the groundwork for a year of positive intentions for yourself, then take a leisurely scroll through this newsletter.
