✨Winter Solstice Wishes✨

Hello <<First Name>>
 
Today marks the winter solstice, where the hours of darkness are at their peak. It can be a challenging time for our bodies, minds and souls.

This time of year is also the dawn of new beginnings. Slowly but surely the light will prevail, the days becoming longer and the anticipation of lighter and warmer times leading the way. It's a time of hope, reflection and restoration.

Remember that this period is all about doing what is best for you and your mental health, and that can look completely different for each person. I've included some ideas around this below, plus there's info on activities to look forward to in the new year.

For now though, on this dawn of light and new beginnings, I hope you can spend this time in the way you most want to. Wishing you a restorative and nourishing festive period and much love for 2022.

THANK YOU!

Huge thanks to you all for being part of our community this year. Curious Motion is now two years old, and with most of our existence being in a pandemic it’s been quite a ride! We’re so grateful to you all for continuing to be by our side and what a joy it has been to move, dance, and create together!
 
Some wonderful memories have been made and exciting plans for 2022 are in motion. Here's a summary of what's to come in January - keep an eye on your inbox for more info to follow:

Rhythm & Brews

Through October and November, people of all ages from across Elland’s community joined us to explore what it means to move, sing, dance, and play together. It was joyous to say the least!

Here's how the participants told us they felt after the sessions:
"Happy, no worries!"   "A new woman"   "Loved"   "I feel cheered up"

Sessions return on 28th January and will run bi-weekly through February and March 2022. Keep an eye on your inbox for more information!
 

Monthly 'Happiness Lab' workshops

Explore what happiness means to you through a different creative activity each month. We're kicking off with lantern making with Handmade Parade in January! Booking info coming soon.
