PUBLIC NOTICE
“Thank you for all your lovely comments at the wellness fair on Sunday. Watch this space for an announcement on our first sessions… Introduction to Creative ME coming in March. Details of the events and booking will be out very soon. Places will be limited and on a first come first serve basis. I will be running multiple sessions over the week, keeping the groups fairly small. There will be both daytime and evening sessions. Don’t worry if you can’t make it in March, I plan to run a rolling programme so there will other opportunities to get involved. Looking forward to some artistic relaxation.”
Have you ever thought about trying mindfulness? Do you feel intimated by the idea of mindfulness or relaxation classes? Have you tried a class and felt self conscious or embarrassed? Do you worry about how you might be perceived in a quiet intimate environment?
If so, Creative ME might be your answer…
At Medical Extras, the Client’s journey is at the forefront of our values. We are aware that quiet meditation or mindfulness is not everyone’s cup of tea, but we also know that the concept of relaxation for self healing and resilience is ever more important in our daily lives. In an increasingly demanding world, it is harder and harder to find that little bit of ‘Me time’, and more and more difficult to feel justification in setting that time side. We see the fall out of this every day in the medical world. Trust me, no matter how ‘resilient’ we may feel, we need to maintain our own mental wellbeing by allowing ourselves time to relax, refresh and revive. Needing this time is not a sign of weakness, or self indulgence; no, quite the opposite, this is a sign of compassion, of self awareness, of mental strength and wellbeing.
So, how do we get this message out there?
How do we make mindfulness and relaxation an accessible entity to a wider population?
How do we take out the intimidation from such a personal class?
How do we give you a reason to make time for a little Creative ME in your life?
Well, we think we have an answer…
Yes, not ‘the answer’. As we know all to well in medicine, there isn’t a one answer fits all, so we aren’t striving for that. We want to encourage a few more of you to try out and hopefully take on the concepts of mindfulness into your daily lives. So here it is Creative Mindfulness Experience, or Creative ME. Launching in 2019, Creative ME will bring a series of art based events to Christchurch and the surrounding area. True to our values, the Client’s journey is at the forefront. We are accessible, flexible and fun. We will be running sessions whereby you will have the chance to try out a new art or craft, in a friendly community environment, whilst learning a little about the values and strategies we can use to relax, refresh and revive.
Sessions will be on a fairly ‘ad hoc’ basis, pre-bookable at least two weeks in advance, affordable (entrance fees will be purely to cover costs) and a little bit messy! So keep your eye on our events page, and when one pops up, we suggest you follow your instinct, ‘click’ and you’re in. Recruit a few friends, enjoy the excited anticipation for the next few weeks, don your ‘scruffs’ and get stuck in. Your journey to self awareness starts right here, with Creative ME safely by your side.
