London: Diversity matters - music for mind and motherhood - Wednesdays 1100-1230hrs

Singing can lift our moods and make us feel better, boost our confidence and reduce stress, give us space to express ourselves, and help us to connect with others and with ourselves. 

For this group, we dive into the magic of singing, and how it can create a space for wellbeing, connection and expression, offering an alternative way in to exploring your journey through motherhood. We will learn songs, practice gentle grounding and sound making exercises that encourage noticing and presence, and invite creative play where you can contribute your ideas if you wish. And the best bit: you absolutely do not have to 'be a singer' to enjoy singing and take part!
