Nurturing Self-Compassion: A gentle afternoon of inquiry, creativity & kind self-talk

Ever notice how harsh your inner voice can be? This workshop is a chance to slow down and change that conversation.

Join Mand & Bronwyn an afternoon of guided inquiry, somatic tools, and hands-on creative crafting — where you’ll create your own personal affirmation cards.

You’ll leave with affirmation cards made by your own hands, plus a good dose of calm, connection, and gentle joy.

What’s included:
🔸 Guided inquiry into your inner dialogue
🔸 Somatic tools to help affirmations land in the body
🔸 Hands-on creative crafting — no experience needed
🔸 Your own personalised affirmation cards to take home
🔸 A non-alcoholic, gut-loving welcome cocktail
🔸 Herbal teas and light refreshments throughout

This one’s for you if you notice a critical inner voice, feel stretched or disconnected, or just love a reflective, creative afternoon.

📍 The Walled Garden Workshop
📅 13thSeptember, 1PM

Come as you are. That’s all that’s needed.

We live tethered — to notifications, feeds, the low hum of always-on. Unplugged is a day to put it all down.

No phones, no scrolling, no jobs to be done. This nourishing space is an opportunity to slow down, soften, and reconnect — with yourself, with others, and with a gentler pace of being.

This isn't your standard Yoga retreat.

Throughout the day, you'll be guided through a blend of evidence-based nervous system practices, creativity, and time to rest. This is a day designed to help your system remember what it feels like to simply be, without a million calls on your attention.

We're excited to bring this day to life as one of our signature Folc gatherings: spacious, soulful, and rooted in community.

We are incredibly saddened that as a town we are losing another space that promotes inclusion and community.

In such a messy world, we need more spaces to connect, slow down and mindfully come together - not less.

It is a really tough time at the moment – for many personally and with the increasing cost of living squeezing businesses and families alike.

We know from the conversations we have with the people in our circle, from the people who walk through Folc’s door, and from headlines that many people are feeling anxiety about the state of the world.

And we want to take a moment to reassure you that we are not going anywhere.

Over the last months, we (Kevin & Bronwyn) have done a lot of talking about what Folc means to us, what we hope it will grow into, and more importantly, what we need to do to get there.

We are in the process of investing more in to Folc – new signage, more of our time, and more classes on the schedule.

The whole of our wonderful community that steps through our doors, those that take the time to read our newsletters or like our posts and of course our amazing collaborating teachers are all by very dear to us.

And we take the responsibility of being Folc’s guardians to heart.

All the decisions we make are steered by our hope that Folc continues to thrive on Hasland High Street (and beyond) for a very long time to come.

To those impacted by the closures, we send our love and support.

You now where we are.
