WELLNESS MORNING AT RIVERSONG

An entertaining musical tribute was organised and hosted on Women’s Day by Bea Whittaker on behalf of the Conservation Association to raise funds for the St Thomas Church in Stanford. Bevan Sylvester presented the tribute, while singers and musicians Louna Stofberg, Bea Whittaker, Corniël Calitz and Joshua van Niekerk entertained the audience with renditions of songs like Rose of England, War Medley, Loch Lomond, Danny Boy, Waltzing Mathilda and Land of Hope and Glory, amongst many others. An English tea fit for royalty was served in the Church Hall afterwards.

Agroup of ladies were treated to a therapeutic wellness morning at Riversong Studio in Stanhaven on Women’s Day. The aim of the occasion was to offer interested participants an opportunity to take some time out for themselves, whilst experiencing and learning different relaxation techniques that encourage a state of calm and equilibrium. There were three sessions; the first one was a gentle introduction to yoga and breathwork by Olivia. In the second session, Viv spoke about TRE® (tension and trauma release), an easy to learn and selfempowering technique which allows individuals to release stored tension, emotions and memories. The morning concluded with an introduction to chanting and a deeply relaxing yoga nidra meditation by Aleks. Viv started a wellness therapists group a couple of months ago and plans on hosting similar events in the near future. https://www.riversongstanford.com/
