Promoting Wellness in Menopause through Dance/Movement

IMG_1680_edited.jpg

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.

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.
