This Wellness Workshop was hosted with the I Matter NPO, on the 9th September 2025, at our MWI Office. These dedicated ladies who help victims of gender-based violence and abuse, often prioritize the well-being of others over their own. The workshop offered them a crucial opportunity to focus on their own experiences, rest and betterment. Participants learned practical techniques like breathwork, mental reframing tools and knowing what emotional regulation is and Trauma Release Exercises (TRE) to help manage stress and trauma. By making personal wellness a priority, these ladies can be more effective and resilient in their work and community, creating positive change in their own lives so they can continue to help others. ✨💕

This Wellness Workshop hosted with Grassroot Soccer coaches in Alexandra, Johannesburg on the 19th and 26th August, saw dedicated coaches, who help youth navigate difficult life situations through soccer, take a moment to focus on themselves. The workshop offered them a crucial opportunity to focus on self-care, a space for them to share their own experiences and how they can practically implement tools to help them as individuals and coaches. Participants learned practical techniques like somatic healing exercises to help them deal with overwhelming situations, emotional regulation and TRE (Trauma/Tension Release Exercises). By making personal wellness a priority, the coaches can be more effective and supportive to the youth they coach, creating positive change in their own lives so they can continue to help others.✨⚽

MWI had visited Ambassadors4Change on the 29th and 30th of July, in Mafikeng, for much-needed Healing workshops. We spent the 2 days connecting with some wonderful people doing necessary work in the community of Mafikeng. Day one offered our participants a crucial opportunity to focus on self-care, emotional regulation and understanding the importance of being self-aware. Day two, allowed us a chance to connect with an all male team and these participants learned practical techniques like breathwork, emotional regulation activities and Trauma Release Exercises (TRE) to help manage stress and trauma.
By making personal wellness a priority, they can be more effective and resilient in their vital work, creating positive change in their own lives so they can continue to help others ✨

Mandela Day, 18th July🇿🇦
We hosted a Wellness Day, funded by GBVF Response Fund1, making it a successful day of healing and self -care.

Tenants from Voo C Media Group and Direct Marketing Association of Southern Africa took part in the event, making it a successful day of healing and self-care.

Many participants learned new breathing techniques to use at their desks and experienced TRE (Tension & Trauma Release Exercises) for the first time. They also shared inspiring words on our art wall.

The day was about giving back, a reminder of the importance of taking care of your emotional and mental well-being.

From personal reflections on our wellness wall to shared moments of support and unity, we continue to position mental wellness at the core of a thriving society.

Yesterday, we paused.

To breathe.

To connect.

To remember that wellness is not a solo journey, it’s something we hold and grow together.

From morning check-ins to afternoon TRE sessions, this space was filled with warmth, reflection and just the right dose of calm.

Big love to our team, Grassroot Soccer South Africa and Rastafari Women Empowerment Foundation humans who joined us in this healing session.
