Promoting Wellness in Menopause through Dance/Movement

MenoMove is a pilot arts-in-health programme that supports individuals experiencing menopause and perimenopause. Through movement-based sessions, MenoMove explores physical activity to increase vitality, build solidarity and community and cultivate coping skills for managing symptoms during menopause.
Led by an experienced dance movement therapist with lived experience of perimenopause in consultation with menopause specialists, the programme integrates evidence-based research practice with creative engagement, creating a unique space to dance, play and reflect.
Funded by the Arts Council of Wales in partnership with The Body Hotel, Aneurin Bevan University Health Board, and Velindre NHS Trust.


The aims of MenoMove workshops are to:
-
Improve Vitality: To energise, activate and feel alive and healthy through physical activity.
-
Solidarity/Group Support: To reduce isolation and build a sense of community through shared movement and creative expression.
-
Coping with symptoms: To explore the potential benefits of dance and movement in managing menopausal symptoms and enhancing quality of life.

Move and Restore Community Retreat
(Formerly Self-Care Saturdays)
Join us for our in-person, self-care workshop intensives – a supportive space to move, reflect, and connect with others. These extended sessions are ideal if you're looking for deeper exploration in a relaxed and welcoming setting. We will deepen our movement practice and treat ourselves to checking out from daily life and checking into our bodies.
You will learn more about dance/movement as a tool for our wellbeing, and reflect on how we can nurture and replenish ourselves, enjoy connecting with others in person, and re-engage with play and creativity.
