What is it?
Starting this summer, Unboxed Folkestone will be running a series of FREE Wellbeing Workshops.
These workshops are for adults who may be feeling isolated, experiencing mental health challenges, living with long-term health conditions, or facing financial pressures such as low income or the impact of the cost of living crisis. They are designed to offer a supportive, welcoming space to connect with others and focus on wellbeing together.
They will run weekly for six weeks with each session lasting three-hours, with space for up to twelve attendees.
Each workshop session will include:
- Time to chat and connect over a free, healthy meal
- Guided talking circles
- Gentle activities such as breathwork, mindfulness and movement
- Creative arts sessions
- Practical workshops focused on mental health and nutrition on a budget
The aim of the workshops is to reduce isolation and provide consistent, preventative support. We hope attendees will experience an improved mood, greater confidence, and enhanced emotional wellbeing, while building resilience, life skills, and meaningful connections with others.
Participants will also receive signposting to other support services and ongoing connection through a private online peer network via WhatsApp, helping the sense of community continue beyond the sessions.
