AUGUST WORKSHOP
Build Your Emotional First Aid Toolkit
See you there!
Our guest practitioner this month is the brilliant Imani Clough-Brown, experienced entrepreneur, coach, somatic facilitator, and founder of Align, Don't Hustle.
21st August | 6:30-7:30pm (BST)
About the workshop
In this workshop, you'll learn a variety of somatic practices to enhance your emotional toolkit, helping you support your wellbeing and sustain your important work.
Social justice and purpose led work can have a profound impact on our body, mind, and nervous system. It's crucial to recognise these effects and find ways to manage them.
We'll explore various exercises designed to calm the nervous system. By practising these exercises regularly, your body will learn to interpret them as cues to settle into a sense of safety.
Together, we will explore different techniques you can add to your toolkit to maintain a healthy body-mind balance. You'll discover effective techniques for self-regulation and emotional resilience, and you will leave with practical tips and strategies.

kind words about our wellbeing workshops
“The descriptive guidance offered during the session was helpful for me to realise how scattered my mind has been over the last few months, and which parts of my body need more rest and care. I am so excited to get back into practicing yoga.”
“I attended the Nidra Yoga session with The Joyful Activists, and had a wonderful experience. The session was a great opportunity to consciously check-in with my mind and body - which I haven't had the chance to do in a while.”
"Thank you so much, this workshop was just what I needed! I feel so much calmer, and it's so nice to be around other people who want to prioritise their mental health too.”
"The session was enjoyable and made me reflect. I went away feeling refreshed and there were things I felt inspired to put into action right away. I went away with a spring in my step; I am now taking a whole new approach to my work, and feeling like my wellbeing is much better."
