Another fantastic session with Sarah from Inner happiness last Friday!

Using our abundant blooms brought by this unusually good summer weather, we made a nature mandala to appreciate the beauty in nature and the tranient joy it gives.

We also made paper plate mandalas to take home, using lots of different materials, along with inspiring hand mandalas which brought out some pretty impressive messages! πŸ’ͺ🧑

We had our mindful moment on the parachute listening to sounds of nature, being still and breathing gently.

Then to enjoy fully moments of fun, we tumbled teddies and played cat & mouse - it got a little wild! πŸ˜„ πŸ’πŸͺ‚

Only 2 sessions left in this series, so book your place quick before it's too late! Click in to purchase your ticket 🎫

Lovely to host Awse, Claire and Amy from this morning!🌟🧢🌟

We're very much at home with yarny ones - the chat and the craft πŸ˜„

Did you know you can get yarn made from nettles? πŸƒ To think we've despised their stingy touch all this time - just goes to show what a little perspective can do.

We look forward to next month's session on the first Tuesday of the month - we'll keep you posted so come along for some fun, relaxed crafting - or just the coffee and chat - it's all to the good.

If you'd like to use our space for your group, get in touch. We've paused the daily coffee shop but we're here when you need us.

Another fantastic Creative Mindfulness session this morning!

Sarah's theme today was Animals πŸ΅πŸ…πŸ¦’πŸ˜πŸ†

We listened to sounds of different animals and we gave clues to help Sarah guess what mask she had on, thinking about where each lives and what they eat and drink. We used their roars and hisses to breathe in different ways and how we can use our breath to vent our emotions. 🌬

Using these ideas, we made Breath Cups with bits of tissue to blow through, a way to see our breath and calm us down. 😌

After a jungle tale about how difference is a good thing, and we can all learn from each other, we did some yoga poses like different animals and stretched like tall giraffes!πŸ¦’

Finishing with animal mask colouring, we had a packed session of wild fun! 🎭

What a fantastic Creative Mindfulness session with Sarah from Inner Happiness NI yesterday!

So much covered in just an hour - mindful breathing, gratitude, self-love, mindful eating, emotional awareness, mindful colouring.

And we made beautiful Mind Jars filled with colours to represent our emotions to help us to regulate our feelings when it all gets a bit too much.

So much done and very happy kids at the end of it!

We still have some spaces left on our other sessions so tap in to book.

Dearest Customers,

With apologies for our interrupted broadcast, we have some news to share!

You’re aware of difficulties in our hospitality industry with running costs spiralling at the pace of light, and this in an increasingly challenging economy. We’ve found it very difficult to manage, hence the 3 day week, but without sacrificing our ethos of healthy and quality food & drinks, as local as we can get them.

We have had to go back to the drawing board and rethink our next steps, to see how best to survive, and hopefully in the not-too-distant-future, thrive. A fox thinking outside the box, if you will πŸ˜‰πŸ¦ŠπŸŽ

So we are going to pause operations in the coffee Hatch for a minute to reformulate our offering. We’re working hard in the background to bring you some new and exciting options that will help bring the happiness and healthiness quotient in spades, being as imaginative and creative as we can possibly be to make it all affordable and accessible for you.

In the meantime, we want to thank you for your support and kindness throughout. πŸ™ We haven’t even had a chance to celebrate turning 3 years old in May, so we want to bring you a party and a half when we relaunch with our new offering.

We should have news very soon, and if you keep watching this space, you’ll be the first to hear it πŸ“’πŸ—ž

Roundup from Week 3 of our Wellbeing Workshops with Geraldine of Connect2Brilliance , discussing Communication & Boundary Setting.

Starting with how important body language is (illustrated by Geraldine showing How EXCITED she was to be talking to us πŸ˜†), we had some more enlightening moments, thinking on our different communication styles and how we could tweak to better achieve a happy balance and not over-commit, preserving our calm and not getting pulled into things we don't really want to do.

As always, our learning is hugely beneficial and benefits from Geraldine's great humour and clarity.

Just one more week to go in this series - join us next Monday for the last session to recap on what we have learned, and put together a Personal Implementation Plan to keep us on our respective paths to happier, calmer, more fulfilled lives.
