A morning to pause, reconnect and rediscover what well-being truly means

What if well-being isn’t about chasing balance or perfection, but about living more fully in the present?

That’s the question at the heart of Rethinking Well-Being, a reflective workshop led by Olivia Crooks, Embodiment Mentor, Retreat and Group Facilitator, and Yoga Elder and Communication Teacher, taking place at The Barn at Brynich this November.

This session invites participants to explore well-being not as something to achieve, but as something to experience directly — through the body, through awareness, and through connection.

Over the course of the morning, Olivia will guide participants through simple practices that include somatic meditation, gentle yoga, and embodied communication, designed to bring clarity, calm, and compassion into everyday life. The event also offers an opportunity to pause from the pace of modern living and reflect on what true well-being feels like — not as a checklist, but as a way of being.

All proceeds from this event will support the Velindre Cancer Centre, with every ticket directly helping to fund vital care and services.

Lunch will be provided by St Mary’s Bakery, known for its fresh, locally made food — the perfect complement to a mindful and restorative day.
