🌍 World Health Day

A gentle reminder from Elysian Creativity & Wellbeing…

Health is more than just physical, it’s how you feel, express, and care for yourself.

Creativity can calm the mind, aromatherapy can soothe the senses, and massage can release the tension we hold in our bodies and these are 3 areas that I am passionate about that and know to support my own physical and mental health.

As highlighted in the book The Art Cure creative expression isn’t a luxury, research proves it’s a powerful tool for supporting mental wellbeing.

So today, and every day, take a moment for you…

Create. Breathe. Unwind.

Definitely in need of some unfurling- it has been a busy few months and this poem captures the month ahead beautifully

This little robin reminded me of something on my walk this morning, sometimes the world only feels quiet when we choose to slow down enough to notice it.

Between the tangled branches and the rush of the day, there are moments of stillness waiting for us. A pause. A breath. A chance to reflect.

Today, I’m choosing to move a little slower and pay a little more attention. 🍃

Can we talk about how good it feels to just... be outside for a bit? 🌿

I recently visited Norfolk, not necessarily doing anything in particular. A few long walks...stops for tea and cake. Just breathing different air, noticing the light, watching the world get on with being green and growing.

There's a real wellbeing case for it but also, for those of us who make things, nature is where so many ideas quietly arrive.

We're hoping to incorporate some outdoor inspiration into our upcoming workshops this season. In the meantime have you been anywhere lovely recently? We'd love to hear 💚

This week I have been completing another special order of a functional and beautiful Labyrinth cushion and it is now on its way up to Northumbria.

Each cushion features a needle felted labyrinth made from soft merino wool, inviting touch, warmth and connection as they are designed to be traced slowly ……again and again.

Have you come across Labyrinths before?
