We’ll be supporting the running of this fantastic women’s group and can’t wait to get stuck in!

A special Wellbeing Session today!

Cosy Circle Launch Prep 🌸

Today, 1pm we’re getting creative and starting to make the decorations for the launch of our very first Cozy Circle at CCA on 7th September 🌸🌿

Launching the Cozy Circle in Cwmparc is really important to us. It’s about bringing women together reducing isolation and making connections and creating a warm, welcoming space in our community. Because every woman deserves a safe space.

When we met Sam & Sharon at womensmindhealthuk supported by Interlink RCT down at YMa back in May I knew that CCA was the perfect fit to launch the first RCT Cosy Circle outside of the original Cosy Circle Beddau.

If you remember the decorations we all made for International Women’s Day they were fantastic so today we’re doing it all again and would love you to come and get involved.

Pop in between 1pm and 3pm, have a cuppa, get creative and help us make something special .

A little overview of what we’ve been up to this month…which has all happened inbetween our own holidays to Buxton, Lyon, Corfu, Greenman Festival and Malaysia ~ so we’ve crammed a fair amount in!

So September is likely to be a little bit quieter as we take a moment to pause, reflect and get planning for Autumn 2026 🍁🧡🍂

🥾🌼💕Walking walking walking…something that gives you so much more than you probably ever even think about! 🥾🌼💕

✔️ Gets you outside ~ your nan didn’t talk about fresh air being good for you for no reason!
✔️ Gets you engaging with other people ~ even if it’s just a nod, or a smile (even minor social connections are really important for us - whether you notice it or not!)
✔️ Moves your body ~ gentle elevation of heart rate & muscle movement ~ fantastic exercise
✔️ Brings you closer to nature ~ grass, trees, flowers, water ~ all of these connect us with our environment and make us feel better for it!
✔️ Stimulates your senses ~ you have to look where you’re going, and you will probably inadvertently notice butterflies, birds or plants! You have to listen out for cars, or hear what people say, or simply hear the birds singing, you might also feel the rough bark of a tree, or stroke a flower petal, or brush your hand through long grass…but we’ll say a little less about smells in nature as unless it’s roses it’s not normally pretty 😅

All of these things bring connection to yourself, and the world around you. And it WILL make you feel better - in your body and your mind 🫶🏻

It’s very rare to go for a walk and regret is afterwards. Walk the walk. You’ll nearly always feel better for it 💕

As our Tuesday & Wednesday walking groups show…they smiled by choice - there was no bribery involved 😜

Tuesday - 9:30am, Ynys y Cwtsh - Champions for Ynyshir, former St Anne’s Church, Ynyshir. Approx 3/4 miles.

Wednesday - 10am, locations vary - details posted on a Monday. Approx 3/5 miles.

Did you know we’re supporting the FIRST EVER Pontyclun Wellbeing Festival?!

There are a vast range of sessions and activities, come and try something new and find out what makes your wellness tick 🌼

As always we are working with some wonderful local providers, and there really is something for everyone 🫶🏻
