This is our very first wellbeing festival with Nordic themed cultivation of health. 

We want you to experience an event like no other!

Hygge  HYOO-GA Danish:  is a word in Danish that describes a cozy, contented mood evoked by comfort and conviviality. This will be a fantastic festival and something different to embrace wellness healing and self care. We will create a warm cost atmosphere and enjoy chat, hot water bottles, wooly socks and a warm glow.

Like the Danes who are known as one of the happiest nations we will cultivate and enjoy some happy time together in this difficult world. We will be certainly be doing this in the beautiful zen room at the Healing Centre Bacup

Hygge refers to “a form of day to day togetherness”, “a pleasant and highly valued everyday experience of safety, equality, personal wholeness and a spontaneous social flow”

We will come together and practice powerful and beautiful techniques of mindfulness. The Nordic drum will sound with our Nordic Sound Session.

Hot chocolate and cake by candlelight as the Danes love their hot chocolate as we sit in our togetherness circle. We will bless and drink mindfully as we hear the beauty of the Saami Nordic drum with its beautiful resonant sound.

The festival will be invigorating for your mind and a lovely vibrant nature to stimulate your senses especially during these cold winter months.

You will hear the beautiful Nordic sound chants to lower our breathing rate. The human heartbeat will tend to match the rhythm of music. This will slow our breathing rate and heart rate and change our brain wave pattern from beta to alpha. The chants also calm our nervous system and affect metabolism.

Myself and Heather are so happy to invite you to a lovely evening. 

We can all learn to be a type of Shield-maiden. A woman who cares and prides herself on both inner and outer strength. The Shield maiden spirit can live on in any person who holds these things dear.

Hop or leap into spring… Dare to jump up from your chair ceremony!! This activity the Danish tradition is to climb up on a chair just as winter is drawing to a close.

A danish way to bring us good luck in our health and wellbeing .

“Hab ind i det nye ar”

This workshop is an escapade where we will be leaping up from our chairs and mats!!  The Danish tradition is to climb up on a chair just as winter is drawing to a close to bring us luck and then jump down off of it at midnight. However we will put our own twist on this as we welcome the start of the spring with a leap to wellness, happiness, togetherness and community spirit .

To end the session you will hear the beautiful Nordic sound chants to lower our breathing rate. The human heartbeat will tend to match the rhythm of music. This will slow our breathing rate and heart rate and change our brain wave pattern from beta to alpha. The chants also calm our nervous system and affect metabolism.

This exciting session we will really learn how the power of mindfulness can help us a a preventative intervention against illness. The metaphor of a dragon is used as. 

“In life  we get illness and hard times that we are not always in control of and thrown at us, like a dragon with his fire trying upset us” 

We can dance with him using our beautiful sound wave and meditation in this workshop, knowing we can support ourselves for a better sense of well-being with our beautiful yet powerful techniques putting out the fire but allowing us to take some control.

This is a lovely time for the over 50’s to come together and sit in one of our beautiful venues and enjoy a dunk of a biscuit or too, while listening to some lovely poetry and readings and some local intriguing story from the past. Each time we will enjoy different themes on our health and wellbeing, local things within the community. We will chat about the old days and enjoy memories of old and things that make us laugh.
