Well… that was something special. Our very first Vegan Vibes Supper Club and honestly, we’re still smiling about it this afternoon.

It wasn’t about fancy tablecloths or perfectly plated dishes. It was about people showing up, bringing a plate, pulling up a chair, and just… being together. And judging by what folks said afterwards, that’s exactly what made it magic.

“Wonderful hosts and can’t wait for the next one.”
“Favourite part was connecting and sharing delicious food together.”
“There is not one part I did not like and amazing.”
“Great company and chat – loved the questions bowl.”
“Favourite part was meeting new people and trying lovely food.”
“Loved the meditation.”

Not bad for a Saturday night in Winscombe, eh?

It was cosy, a bit scrappy in the best way, full of warmth and laughter. The food was incredible (seriously, what a spread) but more than that, it was the conversations around the table… the little moments that remind you why community matters.

So, thank you. For coming, for sharing, for making the evening feel like exactly what we hoped it would be: simple, nourishing, and kind.

And yes, we’ll do it again. (Save the date: Saturday 27th September, 6–9pm, theme is “Far East Feast.”)

It was so good that we forgot to take any photos until the very end. Photo of some of the happy, slightly full-up crew at the end below 🌱💚

✨ The studio is ready, the table is set, and the dishes are nearly on their way… tonight we’re hosting our very first Vegan Vibes Supper Club 🌱💚

It’s a simple idea really – people, food, connection. We’ve created a cosy space where everyone can gather, share a dish, and enjoy an evening of conversation and community.

We’re so looking forward to welcoming our guests and seeing the tables fill up with delicious plant-based creations.

This is what it’s all about for us at Mudita Salus CIC: bringing people together, creating calm and welcoming spaces, and finding joy in the simple things (like good food and good company).

💫 Here’s to the first of many…

✨ An invitation to walk with us… ✨

Each week we gather for our Connect3 Wellbeing Walks – gentle walks in beautiful North Somerset where you can take time for yourself, connect with others, and enjoy the calm that nature brings.

🌿 What wellbeing can look like on a walk:

- A steady rhythm of walking that helps ease the mind
- Fresh air, birdsong, and green spaces to lift your mood
- Friendly company and conversation – or simply peaceful time alongside others
- Moments to pause, notice, and feel more present

📅 Monday 1st (Weston-Super-Mare), 8th (Portishead) and 15th September (Winscombe & Sandford), 4:30–6pm
🌳 Monthly longer walk: Mon 29th Sept, Goblin Combe (5 miles, 9:30am)
💷 Free to join | No referral or booking needed (though it helps us know numbers)

Find out more: www.muditasalus.co.uk/connect3

Come as you are. You’ll be warmly welcomed, whether you’re looking for fresh air, gentle exercise, or just a chance to feel a little lighter. 🌞

Please share to anyone who might be interested.

Positive Lee here.
Is there any interest in a safe, held space for men to get together? If there is, please make contact.
The frequency is open for debate and its base would be at our wellbeing studio in Winscombe. Ages 18-180.

This would be the general vibe...
The Men’s Cave is a supportive, sober space for men to take time out, connect, and look after their wellbeing. It’s not about pressure or performance – just a chance to step away from daily demands and be in the company of others who understand.

With no set agenda, the group offers room for honest conversation, quiet listening, and simple social connection. Whether you come to share, to talk things through, or simply to be alongside others, The Men’s Cave is a safe and welcoming space to nurture mental health, build resilience, and find community.

What a day to walk together for our Connect3 Longer walk at Burrington Ham. Warm, bright, and full of gusty winds that kept us on our toes. The landscape was as stunning as ever, with wide views and rocky outcrops reminding us of the wild beauty of the Mendips.

Along the way, we paused to notice more deeply, using reflection cards with prompts like “the ground beneath our feet,” “colour contrast,” and “specks of light.” These simple words invited us to look again, to see more clearly, and to ground ourselves in the details that are so easy to miss.

And in perfect timing, the ice cream van had appeared by the time we finished, the sweetest ending to a thoughtful, windswept warm walk. 🍦💨🌿

🌱 We're Looking for a New Director 🌱
Could it be you?

Mudita Salus CIC is looking to welcome a new voluntary Director to help guide and support our growing work in community wellbeing, nature connection, and inclusive mental health support.

As a small, purpose-led Community Interest Company, our directors play a vital role in shaping our vision, keeping us accountable, and ensuring we remain rooted in our mission to make holistic wellbeing accessible to all.

🧭 We’d love to hear from individuals who...

Share our values of compassion, inclusion, and community care

Have an interest in the natural world, mental health, and meaningful social change

Want to use their voice, perspective, and lived experience to make a difference

At Mudita Salus, we believe that diverse voices lead to stronger communities and better decisions. We are actively working to broaden the range of perspectives on our board and warmly encourage expressions of interest from individuals of all backgrounds - including those from underrepresented or marginalised communities.

In particular, we would love to hear from women, people from Black, Asian or minoritised ethnic backgrounds, disabled people, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and those with lived experience of mental health challenges or social disadvantage.

This is part of our ongoing commitment to inclusion and positive action, in line with the Equality Act 2010.

📍Meetings are held online, usually four times a year. There’s no need for prior board experience, just a willingness to contribute, collaborate, and help shape a community-rooted organisation with heart.

📝 Interested or curious? Drop us a message or email muditasalus@gmail.com and we’ll send you our Director Info Pack. We’re more than happy to arrange an informal chat if you’d like to explore the opportunity further.

Let’s grow something meaningful together 🌿

WONDER-FULL MOMENTS IN NATURE 🌿

Yesterday's Weston-Super-Mare Connect3 walk was a beautiful reminder of how much nature gives us when we take the time to notice.

We gathered, walked gently, breathed deeply, and paused to appreciate the small wonders all around us. Then, with open hearts and curious eyes, we created our own Wonder Y-sticks – little Y shaped branches wrapped in string and filled with foraged treasures that captured the magic and meaning of the moment.

Each one told a story. Each one held gratitude.
💚 For the season.
💚 For connection.
💚 For simply being outside, together.

Thank you to everyone who joined us – and to the land for its quiet gifts.
