This session is one of 11 monthly workshops in Make Share Heal—a 12-month wellbeing programme for women aged 18–49 in Pype Hayes, Birmingham. The project helps women strengthen wellbeing, build resilience, and brings togetherness through creativity and community. It warmly welcomes migrant women from Ukraine, Poland, and across Central and Eastern Europe, as well as local women, including those from facing life challenges, who want to find community and connection.
Alongside the workshop, participants can access optional one-to-one support and information on local services including housing, employment, mental health care, childcare, and community resources. Multilingual support is available.
The workshop is facilitated by Monika Lenard, an experienced women’s group leader with over 20 years of practice in creating safe, trauma-informed environments for personal growth and community connection. Monika brings compassion, cultural awareness, and a deep commitment to helping women feel grounded, empowered, and supported. She weaves together circle dances, breathing techniques, traditional folk music, and creative arts, offering an inclusive experience shaped by cultural heritage and wellbeing.
Free to attend. Refreshments provided.
