Good morning! I will be sending this out later to people on our mailing list (if you are not yet on the list just send me your address) but in the meantime here is the September newsletter with details of all the events that are going on at the centre over the next few weeks. Folkestone Wellbeing Centre - Making Life Better xx

Almost every day I have people coming in to the centre who want to offload and tell me their troubles and I am happy to listen. Sometimes they stay for half an hour and sometimes more than an hour. Sometimes they then buy a product or book into a workshop - and sometimes they don't, and have just been happy to get things off their chests. I have decided that a better way of helping people who need this personal contact is to offer a proper, intensive and timed consultation. I...n that way we can hone down on what the issues are in a much more focussed way and I will be able to work out exactly what can support them. It may be something we sell in store - a book, a remedy, a treatment or it may be a workshop or event that we are running. Of course I will always refer on if I feel that another practitioner has something more effective to offer. Please share and let people know that we offer this service here. Some recent comments I have received are: "I feel so much better for off-loading!" "The energy in here is very calming" " You have a lovely aura about you" "I cant believe how helpful it feels to talk to you" "I feel better now and I've got some things to look forward to as well" xxx

Something special for the guys ...

We have some amazing events coming up for the Autumn - we are fast becoming the 'go to venue' for healing and personal growth workshops, groups, courses and classes in Folkestone!

Next weekend is Folkestone Pride and to contribute to the celebration we have this event running on Sunday. Oppression, prejudice and discrimination are huge stressors and contribute to poor mental and physical wellbeing. In this talk and discussion we will be looking at the history and milestones for the LGBT and Size Acceptance movements and gain a greater understanding of the common battles for these two groups of people. Folkestone Wellbeing Centre is a place of healing and safety and always has a lovely vibration. Everyone is welcome xx

Our lovely Lubna Gem Arielle has been running a fantastic Summer School at the centre. Her participants have enjoyed the classes very much and got so much out of them. Here is a link to next week's class which is the final one in this series. If you have missed the others, please don't miss this one. A description of the class is in the link: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/summer-sch ool-of-wellbeing-p…

Things just keep getting better here! This afternoon one of our lovely regular customers has volunteered to run a Saturday morning Social Club. How lovely is that? It will start in September - More news and a poster to come soon!

Every Tuesday evening for the past 6 weeks Sheree Bell has run Resilient You taster classes. These are discussion groups that cover subjects to do with Weight Stigma, Body-Shaming and Size-Acceptance. The aim of the Resilient You programme is to improve health & wellbeing and the full course will start in September at Folkestone Wellbeing Centre. For more details, please get in touch.

Always good to be reminded of this ...

We had such a lovely meeting this morning with a new practitioner who will be running a singing for wellbeing club especially for over 55s on Tuesday afternoons here at FWC. Music with Melissa will start on Tuesday 25th September at 2pm and the first group will be a free taster! Another fabulous activity to offer the lovely people of Folkestone.

So many, mostly young, women come into the centre and talk to me about their depression and anxiety. They are all on anti depressants prescribed by their GP and yet they come in looking for something else to help them. This is a fantastic article that challenges the assumption that depression needs pharmacological intervention. Well worth a read.
