Complementing the ‘Zones of Regulation’, or as a stand alone self regulation technique, Snappy Tappy® provides a practical and accessible method for children and young people to modify/calm the emotions they are feeling ‘in the moment’ or ‘after the event’, to help them feel LESS;  • anxious  • angry  • fearful  • frustrated  • overwhelmed  • shame  • hurt  or any other emotion which is distracting them, pre occupying them or preventing them being ‘in  the green zone’ or in a balanced emotional state.     Snappy Tappy® which is an adaptation of Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) is an evidence-  based modality. It is often referred to as Tapping by practitioners and users because that is what  we do.    Tapping works with the body’s internal energy systems similar to Acupuncture. However, where  Acupuncture uses needles, Tapping uses stimulation of the meridians using gentle finger tapping  pressure, while simultaneously focussing on the current difficulty. This dual attention helps your  brain process whatever might be troubling you.    Snappy Tappy® training takes place over two sessions both 3-4 hours long. The initial training introduces the background to Tapping, examines other adaptations of EFT and gets you ready for your own Snappy Taps and case studies. These are then reviewed 2 months later and you’re on your way to helping children and young people with Snappy Tappy®. Your licence is valid for 1 calendar year and can be renewed following a yearly check in and CPD.     Meet the trainer:   Miriam is the author and creator of Snappy Tappy® and uses daily in her workplace within education. This position allows for reflection and change, and also a wealth of ideas to help you be the most effective in helping children and young people around you. This course is for all educators and healthcare professionals that work with children, including children with special needs.   Get in touch for an informal chat to see how Snappy Tappy® is going to equip you to help others.     snappytappyEFT@gmail.com  Miriam Frier 07967 705973

Come Away on a Leaders Retreat Designed for leaders in children's, youth, young adult, and student ministries to step away from the demands of daily workload, this retreat will be focused on finding space for renewal alongside others in leadership roles. Together, we will spend time reflecting on personal spiritual practices rooted in rest. Recognising that so much of ministry is about giving outwardly, this retreat offers an opportunity to look inward and upward—to refocus on God and explore how we can each individually pursue Him more deeply. In the tranquil grounds of the High Leigh retreat centre, the day will be a mix of restful, reflective practices, time to socialise and have fellowship, and workshops for delving into our own spiritual practices, seeking to build up on what already exists. We hope this retreat might be an extension of our regular lunch gatherings, fostering connection and mutual support within our ministry community. Key Information: There are 2 options for this retreat: the overnight retreat, and the day away retreat. The Overnight Retreat: Sometimes a night away does wonders for our sleep patterns! Join us at High Leigh from 5pm on Wednesday the 19th of March. We will have dinner together, share in some evening reflection and games. The following morning will include opportunities for prayer, reflection, and breakfast before we are joined by the day guests. The Day Away Retreat: To take time away from our contexts can be a great way to invest in our ministry. Join us at High Leigh from 9.30am on Thursday the 20th of March. The day's programme will include time for reflection, prayer, fellowship and workshops on spiritual practices. We will share lunch together, and be ready to head home at 4pm. Cancellations: Please note this retreat is fully funded and spaces are limited. If you cancel your booking with less than 4 weeks notice we may charge you if your place is not refilled.
