Thyme4Soup
A warm, nourishing course about food, mood and self-care

Sometimes the most healing thing you can do is make something with your hands, share it with others and be mindful enough to actually taste it. Thyme4Soup is a six-week course that does exactly that, gathering together to prepare and share homemade soup, and exploring along the way what it really means to nourish yourself and the impact different foods have on our health and wellbeing.

Each session looks at the relationship between food and mood, our emotional habits around eating, and how the simple act of cooking mindfully can become a genuinely powerful form of self-care.

Time4ADHD
A talk on living with ADHD and finding a calmer way forward

Living with ADHD can feel like being permanently led by whatever is happening right in front of you. Your attention goes where it's pulled, your reactions come before your thoughts, and the idea of slowing down and regaining control of your own thoughts and emotions can feel almost impossible.

Laura knows this from her own experience. Having developed many of the traits of ADHD herself, she understands what it's like to spend most of your life in reaction mode, responding to everything around you, but rarely feeling in control of any of it.

The thing is, ADHD and mindfulness have an interesting relationship. ADHD keeps you very much in the present moment, but without any awareness of being there. Mindfulness works in the same moment, but with intention. Learning to tell the difference (and to choose one over the other) can be genuinely life-changing.

This talk explores what that looks like in practice, and how simple mindfulness techniques can help you move from reacting to responding, and from feeling overwhelmed to feeling a little more like yourself.
