Reconnect incorporates all the best things we have to offer at Yourself In Mind. We will spend our time talking, creating, moving and meditating together; working towards connecting with others and, most importantly, ourselves.
Reconnect is open to anyone open to sharing their mental health journey experiences and learning from others.
Workshop Schedule
Please arrive 10 minutes before starting time to allow yourself time to get settled in.
What to expect
Journalling
We begin with topic specific individual journalling to help settle into the space and disconnect from the outside world
Sharing Circle
Moving into sharing circles of up to 4 people, we will build on topics addressed during journalling. Small groups encourage connection and intimacy.
Creativity
Small circles are adjusted into larger groups of up to 7 as we connect to others through breath and its creative interpretation. This creative exercise will be focused on mindfulness and slowing our thoughts down preparing ourselves
to flow with bodies during open movement.
Movement
Leaving our groups we open the floor up to everyone, enjoying freedom of movement and connection to a varierty of music. We will enjoy some movement activities together aimed at getting us out of our heads and into our body.
Yoga Nidra
Making our way down to our mats and moving into stillness we start to focus on our internal reality. We will spend 30 minutes building our awareness through active relaxation nourishing our state of rest and digest, utilising all the benefits of yoga nidra.
Reflection
Finishing up together back where we began, taking the time to reflect and absorb our experiences together, we will have a moment to journal and share some insight.
