Face to Face Events
Sound Bath – Upward Frog Yoga – Wednesday 18 March at 1pm some of us will go to the Stockroom after (perhaps 1.45 or 2pm) for a chat and catch up afterwards. Stockroom sells coffees etc. for those who want to buy them but you can bring your own. We usually try to find one of the tables that is close to but not part of the coffee shop area.
This event is one that we have received some public funding for and as such everyone is welcome. There is a capacity of 19 at the venue. We will probably manage attendance by a combination of our Facebook group event and anyone else can contact us directly to secure a place if we get close to capacity. Everyone is welcome to meet up at the Stockroom afterwards.
Depending on demand we might run an extra face to face event in March for people just wanting to have a chat.
2nd Friday of the Month Zoom session Friday 13th March – Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
At our usual time of 11am we will have a session. This session will be on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. We have secured funding to run a connected series of workshops/a course of ACT sessions. This will be for a fixed group of people. We are still finalising how we will allocate the spaces. These may well be after people who have attended the session have a chance to see if this is right for them. Although ACT can be the basis for therapeutic interventions it is also a self management technique and approach that is evidence based and supports people in living more in the present and being better able to cope with issues such as fatigue, pain, anxiety etc. It is routed in Mindfulness. These sessions will start 18th March at 5.30pm and be weekly for 8 weeks at 5.30pm. There are limited spaces for these sessions and we are still finalising how these will be allocated. We do not want a space allocated to someone who never turns up and leaves someone else who is keen missing out. At the same time we suspect that there should be a place for anyone who is keen to attend them. If demand is much higher than expected it is possible that we could run and extra set of sessions.
We had planned on having a speaker on ADHD but that session will need to take place at another time.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Course – starting 18th March for 8 weeks. See above
Adapted ME/CFS and Long Covid Yoga
With the benefit of Forever Manchester funding we will be running adapted yoga with Felicity Leigh. These sessions are at 2.30pm on Zoom. See our January events for more information and links to join the sessions. To participate if you are new to the sessions you need to first send in a health questionnaire ( details in Jan post)
Possibly more sessions TBC
We are in talks with some facilitators, providers and speakers for some extra sessions in the March – August period. We will hopefully have some more dates sorted soon. Additionally we are hoping to arrange a Zoom social too.
