Health and Wellbeing

Wilder Wellbeing

Supported by Kent Wildlife Trust, this six-week course will combine the benefits of walking and nature connectedness, so the benefits for participants are two-fold. The course will also incorporate mindfulness techniques, and will follow a nature theme and walking throughout. We are able to adapt the course depending on what the participants would like to gain from the course and their accessibility needs. Please check timetable for locations and times.

Mindful living

On this three-week course discover simple ways to weave mindfulness into your daily life. Learn how to become more present in everyday activities, such as eating a meal or taking a walk to the shops. Cultivate kindness towards yourself as you learn how to recognise when you are being mindful. Explore everyday environments with sensory awareness and experiment with mindful exercises that can support your mental health & wellbeing.  

How to sleep well

Do you have trouble sleeping? Join us as we investigate the science behind sleep, how deprivation impacts the mind and body and introduce different mechanisms to help students get a good night’s sleep.

Relax & Breathe

Discover how relaxation affects your mind and body, what happens when you activate your parasympathetic nervous system, and try out some different breathing techniques, finding the right one for you.

Building Confidence after Domestic Abuse

This course is particularly for those who have survived, and are now out of, an abusive relationship. We explore how our thoughts and actions have been affected negatively and how we can combat this. Our goal is to help you build your confidence, assertiveness and ability to engage in new relationships in a healthy, boundaried and enjoyable way. You will have the opportunity to practice new skills in this confidential course. Course facilitators have lived experience of moving on from different types of domestic abuse and can share some of their own journey with you
