Creative Wellbeing Day
Overview
A creative, relaxing and invigorating wellbeing workshop, including Yoga, creative journalling for beginners and a complimentary swim! Leave your stresses and worries behind you and indulge in a fun and informal day of stretching, mindfulness and creativity. Participants will start their day with a 45-minute Yoga session, taught by our wonderful Kate Kearns. This will be followed by a refreshment break before getting stuck into art journalling with our Founders and CEOs, Sarah Hemmings and Tanya Reid. Participants will discover the benefits of art journalling, including how to be more creative, de-stress and reconnect with yourself, your thoughts and feelings. Art journalling is a fantastic tool for experimentation and trying out new skills and mediums, along with gaining confidence in your artistic ability. The day will end with a complimentary swim in the lovely hotel pool, to truly finish up a day of self-care and discovery.
Tea and coffee will be available throughout the day, and students will also be entitled to 10% off in the hotel restaurant for lunch. The hotel also has a Starbucks café offering a range of hot and cold drinks and a hotel bar.
