Women’s wellbeing at heart of Warkworth workshops

A seven-week experiential workshop for women will be held at the Community Rooms (The Bridge Club) in Alnwick Street, Warkworth starting on May 12.

The workshop will be facilitated by Stephanie Frost and Alexandra Winterburn.

They say that as nurturers and caretakers, women’s stories can get lost in the mix.

“Through the workshop, participants will be guided to connect with their essential self, reflect on rites of passage and get in touch with the wisdom of their psyche,” Frost says.

“Many women are taught to dismiss their bodies from a young age, wishing they were different instead of honouring this deep ground of being, the body. This experiential workshop will guide women to fully embodying their experience, relating to their and others’ story through full body listening.

“When we do this together as a group of women it is healing, supportive and inspiring.”

The seven workshops will be held from 9.30am to midday, and will finish on June 23. The cost is $231 ($77 for low income).

Meanwhile, Frost will also facilitate two further events at the Women’s Centre in Morpeth Street,Warkworth.

These will be held weekly from May 2 to June 27 and include a Wellbeing Circle from 6pm to 7pm, followed by a Song Circle starting at 7.30pm.

“I’m inviting women to come along to the Wellbeing Circle and learn ways to deal with stress, then stay for the Song Circle and feel the support of sharing empowering rhythmic chants together.”

Admission to the circles is free but a koha would be appreciated.
