Today’s task from our mindful advent calendar is a ‘Good Posture Challenge’. We did it and were amazed at all the different sensations we became aware of in our bodies when we brought our awareness fully to it. #Mindfulness #Relaxation #EnablingEnvironments

We read ‘A Message From the Pig-Man’ and this Adcock poem in reading group today. Much discussion followed about the hypocrisy of adults, a child’s perception and misunderstanding things in childhood only to realise years later. Very interesting! #EnablingEnvironments #poetry
