A supercharged form of meditation, breathwork allows us to re-calibrate and elevate our internal state to match the constant demands of the external world.

    Why Gut Health is Crucial to Holistic Wellbeing

    Maneka Grover
    Target Audience: General Employees

    The link between physical and emotional wellbeing is increasingly recognised and discussed. Our extended state of lockdown and restrictions over the last year, compounded with the existential crisis that COVID19 has posed to our way of life, our lack of movement and physical activity has seen a sharp rise in stress and anxiety. This gut-wrenching experience is, in fact, connected to our gut. In this session, we explore this further by focusing on understanding how our lifestyle, diet and immunity impacts the microbiome and learning ways in which we can maintain our gut health.

    Menstrual Health: We Can Talk About That At Work!

    Olivia Cotes James
    Target Audience: General Employees & People Leaders, Managers

    There is a hidden stigma when it comes to menstruation, especially in the workplace. Many consider speaking openly about this taboo and it remains unspoken about and unheard of. Although hidden, it impacts everybody in the workplace and we need to talk about this, period. This session aims to raise awareness of the impact of not talking about it on your employees and provide menstrual knowledge to those without the experience of menstruation.
