Cloughmills Community and Well-Being Group
Title of Work: Sharing Together - through dance, story-telling and poetry
Facilitating Artist: Vanessa Brodie
In this project, we created a safe and happy space where participants could come to chat, share stories and poetry together, and be inspired. We also supported physical well-being by doing dance and movement outdoors to begin our sessions together, and some days we had a short, mindful walk around the Mill area to notice the wonder of the changing seasons. The project promoted a feeling of connectedness – to ourselves, to each other and to the wider world, while encouraging reflections on significant memories, stories, and looking with ‘new eyes’ at the wonder and beauty that fills our everyday lives.
