Thrilled to be working with @factoryintl through our 'We Feel Well' pilot 🙌

One of the strands of support is group movement sessions; a way of positively impacting the team’s sense of #wellbeing, tapping into #movement as a strategy for release!

Excited for future collabs! 💪

We received this feedback after our #TimeToReflect sessions and we love feedback like this but at the same time we're sad to hear that in 36 years of working in the arts sector this person had never heard her work credited as being vital to the communities that she works with.

...The creative community gives so much of themselves and their work to benefit others so, supporting and improving their wellbeing became a life’s mission for Rafaela and is the centre of our work here at #threadUpCIC.

...Whether that be time to simply enjoy a piece of artwork or performance, in offering the space for fresh perspectives and provoking reflection or encouraging our own healing and the processing of emotions...

4/4 - I’m going to speak to some of the creatives I met at @edfringe & find out, if they could have had the best wellbeing support & spaces while they were doing the fringe, what would that look like? I intend to come back on here & share what they say so watch this space 👀

1/4 - I’m back to my #threadupcic practice in slightly rainy Manchester and I’m feeling inspired and full of ideas after returning from the @edfringe Festival 🙌🏽 …

3/4 - It was great to expand my #ThreadUpCIC practice and learn even more about how to best support the #Neurodiverse aspect of a creative person.
