And just like that the 2023 BE KIND TO YOUR MIND MENTAL HEALTH FAIR is another great event for the books!
This was such a fun and amazing event. Once againg we opened ther Morganway Garden, up to partners and neighbors to celebrate the last day of Mental Health week.
Thank you to everyone who came out. It was awesome to see the staff and residents participate in the various activities.
This included a drum circle that taught us how to play the earth in a grounding ceremony. This was a way to connect yourself back to the earth through music. The drum leader led a call and response that got everyone's energy up and got us all moving, releasing built up stress and emotions. After that we played a song asking the soil to open and receive the seed that we were about to sow.
While some played the drums others began planting seeds. With each seed we planted we had the option to say an affirmation to both yourself and the seed. This was such a positive experience.
Overall what I enjoyed and loved most about today's event was seeing the connections made and resources utilized, and for me that was the biggest win of the day!
Below are a few pictures from today's event. More will be uploaded to flickr soon. Be sure to check them out when you have a free moment.
