Men's residential weekend retreat that explores wellbeing, mental health and promoting self care aimed at those unable to access such a resource due to barriers such as funding and opportunity.
MettaMinds and The MindKind Projects will deliver a free mental wellbeing residential weekend, held within Snowdonia National Park for between 10 to 12 participants. Utilising skilled practitioners including a Mental Health Social Worker, qualified alternative wellbeing therapists participants will be introduced to wellbeing resilience building activities such as yoga, tai-chi, breathwork, healthy eating and accessing nature for wellbeing. These are alongside facilitated group sessions/peer support and one to one discussions around limiting beliefs, emotional regulation, trauma and goal setting and purpose. A documentary will be filmed that will be used as a mental wellbeing resource to reduce stigma felt by men when it comes to mental health and wellbeing. Inspiring more men to address and talk about their wellbeing needs.
