Cymraeg

Fay is facilitating Butterfly Soup on Monday 10 March 7-8:30pm 🦋

How can we bring ease into not knowing? How can I be authentically myself, whilst being with another?

Fay will facilitate a session based upon somatic movement – guiding us into our bodies and senses, and open ‘movement play’ – where we access improvisation and authentic expression responding to what is present.

Focuses will be on body, space and relational awareness. This work is influenced by her training done with Joan Davis.

We hope you can join us! 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️

Description

Butterfly Soup with Fay

Butterfly Soup is a creative space for the LGBTQIA+ community and allies. We meditate, move, create wonderful things, drink tea, and talk from the heart. It's a safe space that is accepting, nurturing, creative, and BSL accessible. The session is donation based thanks to our funders People’s Health Trust.

People's Health Trust is an independent charity investing in local communities to help create a society without health inequalities through funding, support and using evidence and learning to influence change. It works closely with six Community Interest Companies raising money through The Health Lottery.

Butterfly Soup is part of our funders Active Communities initiative: Active Communities is a funding programme for local people with great ideas about how to help create fairer places to grow, live, work and age well.
