Just Imagine - It's Blooming May!

It's hard to believe it's already May but hopefully we can look forward to some nice weather and beautiful blooms. We know that gardening is good for mental health and as Sir Muir Gray said that we all need a ‘Natural Health Service’ as well as a National Health Service. Even if you are not in a garden but perhaps in a packed train on the way home, it can be nice to picture being at home in your garden or next to some lovely flowers indoors. Visualisation is our topic this weekend in our workshop. I hope you can join us - perhaps you can close your eyes and imagine learning some new techniques with us! Don't forget to check out our other workshops this month and read our latest updates on mental health, research and professional news.
