This event presents a great opportunity to learn and directly experience a range of practices that are suitable for beginners to support health and wellbeing and increase capacity for connection and impulse control. The body carries a lot of wisdom and this half day will open the door to becoming more connected with this inner wisdom.

Movement / stretching to increase flow and circulation

Polyvagal Theory nervous system restoration practices
- Recharge the body through mindful body scan
- A range of relaxing and energising breathing exercises

This event is open to men of all ages from 16 years +, who might find it valuable to get out of the house for some respite away from the pressures of daily life.
As humans we have a biological need for connection to maintain our health and wellbeing and this event will provide access to a safe, non-judgemental and confidential space to relax and have conversation with other men.
