Aekam, Chemaine and Saz from UNION 24 conducted a simple collaborative learning project:

• How can an embodied approach help us sustain our arts activism practice?

• Can a peaceful evening of wellness leave people feeling recharged and grounded, with a toolbox ofself-care routines and practices that they can fit into their daily lives?

Wellness is about making time for yourself, practising self-care to reach a state of wellbeing.

• What happens if people move from a reactive mindset, to a preventative mindset – can we avoid burnout and overwhelm by prioritising our health (mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually)?

• Do we have more to give and share if we pour into ourselves first?

 

Led by Aekam, they ran their evening in Baildon in September 2025…a combination of meditation, music, dance, breath work, cacao and home-made food…
