The Calm Raft

0 followers

Hello! My name is Lisa. I set up the Calm Raft after learning the importance of prioritising calm and wellbeing in my own life and experiencing for myself how much of a difference calm makes to my own quality of life and how I show up in my family and at work when I prioritise myself first! I am a qualified breathwork coach, cacao facilitator and DBT coach but my background is working with young people in schools and online. The Calm Raft provides a unique weekly class that is accessible to everyone who wants to take 90 minutes out from the stresses of life, to connect with others, have fun exploring fun new ways to look after their mental wellbeing and treat themselves to deep relaxation.CONNECTEach session starts with some fun and reflective activities designed to help you to meet new people and take a pause to think about your life and how you want to live it.CURIOSITYYou will then be introduced to a new way to bring calm and wellbeing into your life. The idea is that you will have fun exploring something new which you can then chose if you want to incorporate it into your daily life or not. One week it might be creating your own aromatherapy blend by candlelight, and the next week you might be having a go at calm reflective collage using natural materials while listening to uplifting music. Each week is different and every activity is optional but lots of fun! Everything is very relaxed and you won't be asked to do anything you don't want to do!CALMWe finish each session with a cosy and relaxing meditation. Don't worry if you have never tried meditation - you will be talked through how to use your breath and the music to become calm and cosy. Bring your own blanket and pillow for this. You can also bring a yoga mat if you want to lie on the floor, or if you feel more comfortable you can sit in a chair. Whatever is best for you! The meditation is about 10 minutes long and will leave you feeling very relaxed and ready to face the week!Everyone is welcome at the Calm Raft - whether you already prioritise calm or if this is all new to you. The key thing is you will have fun and you will be very relaxed by the end of each session! I encourage you to come along and if you are coming alone, will make sure you met at the door and you feel comfortable coming into your first session.
