6th December: FREE RECLAIMING REGULATION-SOMATIC WORKSHOP FOR WOMEN-BREATH AS MEDICINE
(46)By Art and Spirituality CIC
Reclaiming Regulation is a series of individual, in-= person workshops for women who are seeking to explore nervous system regulation, somatic awareness, and embodied wellbeing. These 90 minute workshops offer accessible, practical tools to support emotional balance, reduce overwhelm, manage nervous system regulation and develop a deeper connection with the body. Each session is a stand alone experience that blends nervous system theory with somatic practices, breathwork, and grounding practices. The workshops are inclusive, trauma informed, and accessible to all levels, including complete beginners. Who These Workshops Are For WOMEN ONLY These sessions are ideal for women: seeking body based tools for managing stress and supporting calm feeling disconnected, tense, or emotionally fatigued curious about nervous system regulation and somatic practices wanting to reconnect with the body in a safe, supportive space No previous experience is required Somatics & Nervous System Regulation: Benefits for Stress, Trauma, and Emotional Regulation: Reduces chronic stress → Helps shift the body from fight-or-flight into rest-and-digest (parasympathetic state) Supports trauma recovery → Allows stored tension, stress and trauma symptoms to be released safely through the body Improves emotional regulation → Builds capacity to experience emotions without overwhelm or emotional shutdown Enhances self-awareness → Encourages a deeper connection to bodily sensations and internal states Increases resilience → Strengthens the nervous system's ability to recover from stress more quickly Promotes grounding and presence → Helps you feel more centred, calm, and connected to the present moment Reduces anxiety symptoms → Calms overactive stress responses through breath, movement, and awareness Improves sleep and rest quality → Calming the nervous system supports better rest and recovery Empowers self-regulation skills → Teaches tools to manage emotional ups and downs independently Strengthens mind-body connection → Enhances the ability to listen to and trust bodily signals Workshop Format Schedule: One in person workshop each month (October–July) Duration: 90 minutes per workshop Structure: Each workshop is a stand alone experience, attend one or as many as you choose Location: Art & Spirituality Facilitator: Led by a trauma informed integrative somatic therapist Provided: Comfort props, optional reflection prompts, and follow-up resources Each session includes: Accessible nervous system education Guided breathwork and somatic practices Restorative and grounding practices Optional moments for reflection or group connection Take home practices for integration Monthly Workshop Themes December: Breath as Medicine Discover the link between breath, energy, and emotional states Learn techniques to calm or energise the nervous system Explore breath and movement together to support coherence and focus Workshop Outcomes By attending one or more of these workshops, participants will: Understand key nervous system principles that support emotional balance Build body awareness and confidence in reading internal cues and sensations Gain practical breath and movement tools for everyday regulation Reconnect with the body as a resource for rest, presence, and wellbeing Cultivate more compassion and awareness of widening their your window of tolerance Why This Work Matters In a fast paced and often dysregulated world, many women are seeking grounded, body based tools to support their wellbeing. These workshops offer a gentle, empowering, and science informed space to reconnect with the body’s organic intelligence. Through movement, breath, and embodied awareness, participants can cultivate more resilience, rest, and a renewed sense of aliveness, one moment, one step at a time.

Women's Circle and Menopause Workshop
By Lisa Winn
Women's Circle and Menopause Workshop A supportive space for women to discuss menopause-related challenges and explore tools for emotional wellbeing. Join us in a warm and supportive space where women can come together to share their experiences and challenges related to menopause. Each session will begin with a gentle ‘check-in’ exercise, allowing everyone to connect with their body and mind, creating a grounding moment to center ourselves. We’ll then move into small group work focused on discovering ways to bring balance to our busy lives, exchanging insights and practical tools that support emotional well-being. To finish, you can enjoy a calming, guided meditation designed to foster inner peace and resilience. This circle offers not only support but also practical exercises and reflections to navigate this life stage with compassion, understanding, and strength.

Value Delivery System in Projects
By IIL Europe Ltd
This highly interactive program focuses on building the business focus on value to be achieved from initiatives. The practices in this program apply equally to projects and programs. Participants will gain insight into the capabilities needed to develop the culture, processes, and tools behind validation, what true initiatives' success looks like, which can be closely linked to achieving value. They will learn and experiment with a variety of value definition and management techniques. Working in small groups, they will collaborate with others to brainstorm, share experiences, and apply concepts to the ongoing value confirmation goal. Participants will also discover the importance of designing metrics around value and addressing blind spots that could happen when the focus is on the wrong metrics and how that could lead to the wrong behaviors being practiced. Participants will also gain insights into key skills for leading and working in the future. Hands-on experimentation activities enhance the theoretical learning, grounding it in real life and giving opportunities to practice creativity in capturing value.
