For many of us, as the evenings draw in and the weather turns, our wellbeing dips slightly as we adjust to the new winter season. At Calmer, we’re dedicated to encouraging good mental health and wellbeing practices, whatever time of year. However, we acknowledge that it can be particularly difficult to keep up the same routine during the winter months.

With this in mind, join us for a special fundraising event on 29th November as we highlight the ways we can adapt our wellbeing practices during a time where we might be feeling a little less motivated. We're also running a special prize draw for individuals and businesses who donate to this event, full details below on the prizes!

Hosted by Founder of Calmer Tania Diggory, this event will also feature LA-based Consultant and Founder of FromSoil2Soul Devorah Brous, and Founder of Be Kind Movement Premila Puri.

Through various exercises and discussions, we’ll be sharing evidence-based insights and strategies on self-kindness, Mindfulness, Emotional Intelligence and self-care – all of which will provide you with a toolkit of practices to support and nurture your mental health this winter.

Full event schedule:

• 17:00: Welcome and Mindfulness exercise led by Tania Diggory
• 17:10: Grow through the seasons and prevent burnout, with Devorah Brous
• 17:30: Emotional intelligence tools, with Tania Diggory
• 17:50: Be Kind Movement presentation and interview, with Premila Puri
• 18:20: Intentions exercise led by Tania Diggory
• 18:30: Event ends

Alongside learning a range of empowering outcomes to support your mental health, we'll be raising funds to support Be Kind Movement's Kindness in Schools programme, teaching young children emotional intelligence and resilience skills. As always, our Monthly Mindfulness events are free to attend, however if you choose to donate to this wonderful cause, you or your organisation will be entered into an exciting prize draw!
