The Nest

18/08/2025

Not long now until our next potluck. We will also have Sarah from The Nest providing a mediation for Peace and Protection -

"A moment of peace and protection when the world is overwhelming. And an opportunity to share some love and light and hope back out to those who need it most. Inspired by and for those doing all they can"

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Welcome to the Potluck for Peace community meal and crafting for peace series!

Join us at Tir na nOg Holistic Centre for our next potluck meal. Bring a dish to share, enjoy great company, and help us reach our first target of 1000 origami peace cranes (we've done hundreds already!). We will have Tir na nOg's Eve leading on the origami 🕊️

Legend has it that they who make 1000 peace cranes will be granted a wish - our wish is World Peace. Once we reach our first 1000 we will create a Peace Crane art installation, along with a celebration, then start again 🌠

At this meal you can also make herbal Teas for Liberation blends with Movement in Thyme CIC as well as Puppets for Palestine. Please feel free to bring your own crafting for peace project to share.

Everyone is welcome. Ticket: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/potluck-for-peace-community-meal-tickets-1488806653779?aff=oddtdtcreator

Happy 'back to reality' week for many! Here are a few offerings to bring some joy. As well as my weekly yoga classes at The Nest I also have these Autumn offerings locally:

*CHAIR YOGA*
Come and join our fun and friendly group of chair yogis, Wednesdays at 12 at the Church Rooms in Balfron. We stretch and strengthen and balance - and have lots of chat and laughs along the way. There are so many benefits. Recently one of our group sadly fell and broke her hip. Her physios have put her speedy recovery down to her chair yoga practice! Drop me a message to chat more or just pop along and try on Wednesday.

*KIDS YOGA CLUB*
I'm switching up the way I offer kids yoga locally and have a new monthly KIDS YOGA CLUB starting on 6th September at the McLintock Hall.

Kids Yoga Club is for all kids aged 6-10 and each 75 min class will include circle time, fun yoga games and activities, age appropriate breathwork and mindful crafts. Classes are available for booking now at www.thenestwellbeing.com/book-online or DM me for more info.

*PARTNER YOGA WORKSHOP*
Looking for an alternative Friday night activity? Grab your pal/ gym buddy/ tik tok partner/ spouse/ kid (10+) and join me for an evening of fun, laughter and connection. No experience necessary! Drop me a message to book.

Kids Yoga Club is for all kids aged 6-10 and each 75 min class will include circle time, fun yoga games and activities, age appropriate breathwork and mindful crafts.

I've been teaching yoga and mindfulness to children and young people for six years and passionately believe that if we empower our children to know their minds and respect their bodies, and provide them with the tools to navigate life's challenges, we're taking a big step towards sending them out into the world equipped to process their emotions safely, to show kindness to both themselves and others, and to be great little humans.

Classes are available for booking now at www.thenestwellbeing.com/book-online or DM me for more info.

I'm running these sessions and would love to see some of you there! All our income goes back into supporting marginalised communities across central Scotland to have similar nature based wellbeing experiences.

Words of wisdom from my greatest teacher. Watching my daughter tackle some crazy climbing walls today and wondering when it is we lose some of that amazing confidence and self belief, that yes, even if it's hard, it's possible. One to keep in the bank for the challenging days I think.
