Friday Wellbeing

These sessions take place in The Place to Pause & Breathe in Bonnybridge. Click here for more information about the venue.

We have previously obtained funding to run FREE sessions on Friday mornings. This has been a mix of different activities, all designed to help improve wellbeing - physically, mentally, emotionally - or sometimes all three!

Although our funding ran out at the end of October, some of our community members are volunteering their time to continue to hold sessions. These are now £5 to attend, as we don’t have funding to cover our costs. See below for what’s coming up.

Exploring Values Workshop - Friday Wellbeing

Values are your heart’s deepest desire for how you want to behave as a human being. Values aren’t about what you want to get, or what you want to achieve – they are about how you want to act or behave on an ongoing basis – how you want to treat yourself, others, the world around you.

Exploring Change - Friday Wellbeing

Do you ever have a nagging sensation that you need to change something, but you're not sure what? Or perhaps you know WHAT you need to change, but you're not sure WHEN to make the change. Changing too early can feel like quitting, but staying too long might lead to feeling stuck.
