With huge thanks to the support from Aberdeenshire Voluntary Action we’re really grateful to have been awarded funding this year from the Scottish Government’s Communities Mental Health and Wellbeing Fund for Adults Round 5.

With this funding, we are able to offer monthly free classes for adults throughout 2026 which alternate practitioners each month.

We had a lovely turn out this week for our Yoga and Meditation for 65+ offering ~ please keep an eye out for our next community session for June, which will be advertised soon ..

In addition, we are delighted to share that with the award of this funding, we’re now able to offer funded 1:1 sessions available in:

🧘 Yoga
✨ Reiki
🌿 Meditation
💫 Sound Bath

These personalised sessions could make a real difference to someone’s health and wellbeing and can be accessed through our DWC Funded 1:1 Session Referral Form.

Referrals can be made by any health professional on behalf of someone, including
GP, Nurse, Physio, OT, Social Worker and other support professionals.

We would truly love to see these spaces being used to support someone’s wellbeing. It could be the very first step towards a real positive change

The referral form can be found via the link in our bio (“DWC Funded 1:1 Session Referral”), or you can request it directly via email. 💌

As a social enterprise organisation (specifically we’re a Community Interest Company which means all of our profits are invested back into the local community and our assets are held within an “asset lock”), we’re delighted to continue offering free (fully funded) spaces at our special seasonal wellbeing events, including yoga, meditation and sound bath experiences. ✨

For our upcoming outdoor Summer Solstice event at Potarch on the morning of Sunday 21 June, we currently have 2 funded spaces available. You can apply for yourself or nominate someone else (you may know a friend/family member/work colleague who could benefit right now or you may be a health professional and know of a patient or client who could benefit). We would LOVE to gift these spaces to anyone who could benefit from a little time out, rest, and care 💛

The referral form can be found via the link in our bio (“DWC Community Space Application”), our website or you can request it directly via email 💌

🌻 April Community Session🌻

Join Lynsey (Xhail with Lyns) for a community meditation and Reiki healing circle experience. The evening will begin with grounding breath work and gentle guided meditation followed by group Reiki. If you are new to Reiki, joining a group circle is a lovely, and gentle way to introduce the experience. All you need to do is be open to it and allow yourself to bathe in the healing frequencies. This heart-centred session will help to realign your energy, raise your vibration, and reconnect with your natural state of balance and wholeness.

All are welcome, no experience required. Simply come as you are and allow yourself to relax and be open to receive.

This is a free / donation-based session held in a warm and welcoming community space
