January 15th, 1946

Our Festive Members’ Meet-up

No party clothes required, unless that’s your thing. Just a chance to say hello and take part in a wee pre-festive-season journalling together. It’s a time of year where we can feel pulled in so many directions and so it’s extra-important that we take time to get clear on how we’re going to support our own health and wellbeing before things get too busy.
