Project Blossom

Project Blossom is back for a summer special! We will be doing craft workshops, dance parties, team building exercises and practising mindfulness to help girls 8-13 build their confidence, form friendships, and manage low level anxieties. Our group is a safe space for ALL girls in our age group and we foster a safe, calm and inclusive environment.

We have limited spaces for the summer special so please message me to book on and secure your daughter’s spot! Tickets include snacks and drinks, as well as all crafting materials and projects to carry on at home to continue to nurture your girl’s mental health and self esteem 🩷🌸

An absolutely lovely but very sad evening today as our girls had their Project Blossom graduation and we said goodbye to our weekly classes!

It’s been an absolute joy working with the girls since I started Project Blossom but it’s time to have a break from the weekly classes now as I adjust to full time work with a one year old baby at home! I’m so proud of the hard work the girls have put in and it’s been lovely to watch their confidence grow 🌸

Watch this space for some summer holiday workshops…. 👀

In our last session, the girls got super creative making sensory toys to help practice self-regulation! Looking forward to our classes starting up again tomorrow - it’s the perfect time for your girls to get started. Message for more info! 🌸

The loveliest evening making our wellbeing calendars for May in the sunshine 🌞

The girls had a great time last week making breathing buddies! We talked about the importance of controlling our breathing when we feel anxious in order to regulate our heart rates and give us some time to process our feelings. We then practised our ‘belly breathing’ skills by making our breathing buddies dance!

This week we’re getting ready for May by making wellbeing calendars - we’d love your girls to join us! Message for more info 🥰🌸

📣 NO SESSION TONIGHT

I’m so sorry but I’m full of cold and wouldn’t want to pass anything to the girls, so we don’t have a session on tonight. Back next week from 6-7 at the Rock Chapel as usual!

Just a reminder that we’re not on tomorrow due to the English half term! Have a lovely break and I’ll see you back at the Rock Chapel in Farndon on Tuesday 25th February # # #

I had such a brilliant time this week spending two days in Farndon Primary School delivering workshops for Children’s Mental Health Week! This week’s theme was ‘Know Yourself, Grow Yourself’ - we did lots of work on understanding how our emotions feel in our bodies and what we can do to ensure we understand the role each of our feelings have to play. And, of course, we did some crafting!

If any students loved the sessions, I’d love to see them at our Valentines Project Blossom session on Tuesday! 🩷🌸

We had such a fab time last week celebrating all of our achievements and highlights of 2024 by making our ‘New Year Same Me’ dolls - each one is decorated with pictures and words marking the girls’ best moments of 2024 as a reflection on everything they’ve done to make themselves proud 🩷

Tomorrow, our craft is going to be marking Parent Mental Health Day, and we’ll also have our usual sharing circle and positive affirmations! We’d love your girls to join us at the Rock Chapel, Farndon from 6-7pm. Message for more info! 🌸🩷

We are back next week with a new venue and new time!

Project Blossom will now take place from 6-7pm at the Farndon Rock Chapel. Each week the girls complete activities encouraging them to understand their emotions, practise mindfulness, ease low-level anxieties, form friendships and more! I’d love for your girls to join us - message me for more info! 🩷🌸

You should have all received a message but just in case - due to the girls having lots of school commitments in these last couple of weeks, we are finishing for Christmas and therefore there’s no session this week or next. Have a wonderful Christmas break all!

Before we start our Christmas activities next week, we spent our session today reflecting on all the work we have done so far this year and the different support strategies we have explored. The girls created children’s books with their own character creations demonstrating ways to look after their wellbeing 🌸✨

If you have a daughter aged 8-13 who would benefit from support with forming friendships, body image, self-esteem, low-level anxiety or understanding their emotions, message me for more info about our little group! We’d love to have your girls join us for our Christmas specials over the coming weeks ☺️
