Practical Support for Long Covid Sufferers: Embodiment - Nutrition - AromatherapyAbout this EventThis is the first in a series of ten workshops designed to support long Covid sufferers on their pathway back to health. It is not suitable for the acute stage.
To find out more about what is planned please watch the video of our introductory event here:
In this session there will be three modules.
Resting, relaxing the body, orienting in space - with Alexander Technique teacher Sara Khoroosi
We can learn to use thought and sensory feedback in a way that facilitates deep and expansive relaxation. We call it "constructive rest". Sara will guide you through this procedure so please prepare a space where you can lie down on a blanket with two or three paperback books to support your head .
Ayurvedic Types - Vata: grounding and warming diet
Dr Eleni Tsiompanou mentioned in the introductory event that people need to choose their food according to their personal constitution; a "one size fits all" approach to nutrition is not helpful. In this workshop Eleni will tell us about one of the three types, according to Ayurvedic practice - Vata. Helpful for Vata types is a grounding and warming diet.
Being in nature, aromatherapy oils and self massage with Natural Movement teacher and Aromatherapist Anne Andenaes.
It is often said the Nature is the real healer. This means both that we have our own natural systems that always try to restore balance and that we are part of Nature as a whole. Spending time in and with Nature can be very helpful in reawakening a sense of connection. Certain oils have been used for millennia to stimulate healing processes and Anne will suggest things to try that might be helpful.
Optional Breakout Rooms
Perhaps after an hour you will have had enough but we will offer breakout rooms (which will not be recorded) at the end of the event for those who would like to interact with the presenters. Please note that we cannot address individual symptoms or medical conditions as they are matters for your GP or Consultant.
Cost
We ask for a donation to participate in this event, as small or as large as you like. Free events unfortunately attract a lot of registrants who do not attend but fill up places that others could take.
Harmony in Health: our approach
Whilst scientists search for specific remedies – and we hope they are successful - our multidisciplinary team will focus on practical ways to rebuild health and resilience; ways to recover balance and harmony in mind, body and emotions.
The after-effects of long covid are many and diverse. They can affect different systems within ourselves. Our approach does not try to address specific symptoms but aims to support the bodymind as a whole in order to provide better conditions for Nature, the real healer, to do its work.
This and any subsequent events will be open to anyone suffering after-effects of covid. You do not need to have had a positive test.
Opportunities to speak or to try what is demonstrated will be given, but these are optional and you also can just tune in – even if you are in bed - and watch for as long or as little as you like. Click the link and you may find something that helps.
You are welcome to join!
