Hello,

A few things are coming together, rather well! Let me explain.

We have had an ambition (for a while now) to continue and develop our support for improving well-being at LandWorks.

Recently Becca (our regular counsellor) has been working on how we might help to reduce anxiety, stress, and anger. Becca has successfully achieved this through individual sessions that focus on improved breathing techniques, relaxation and raising awareness of body and posture.

This has been so effective that we are going to run group workshops for all of us.

Slight problem… We have no space available.

Answer… We are going to construct a yurt to provide a ‘well-being’ centre. As well as gaining much needed extra space for delivering other workshops and meetings.

Slight problem… We don’t have a yurt and they can cost over 8k.

Answer… Well, Lilly (my daughter) and her friend Chris have had an ambition (for a while now) to run a half marathon.

So, in the spirit of bringing things together Lilly and Chris have offered to run the Exeter Half Marathon on May 27th, as a sponsored event to raise funds for a yurt at LandWorks.

And as is so often the case at LandWorks, positive ideas continue to bring things together…

The sponsorship will be match funded by a very generous local supporter. So, every pound donated up to £5K will be doubled.

If you feel you could help us raise some Yurt funds, please click on this link to Lilly’s ‘Total Giving page‘.

Thank You

Chris
