This project aims to bring together people of different generational and heritage backgrounds to help them deal with issues of isolation, disempowerment & collective global citizenship by learning Shiatsu bodywork, meditation and dialogic inquiry, together. The participants will be guided to engage their body-heart-mind spirit as a resource for themselves to stay well. They will learn to give and receive Shiatsu bodywork massage, and will be introduced to meditation practice in 3 different forms. An event will be organised where the beneficiaries will connect with each other and share their learning with a wider community. Beneficiaries: 3 wellbeing groups in 3 economically disadvantaged areas of Exeter City in Devon; 6-week course of weekly meetings; 25 individuals per area (75 participants in total); ages 10-85. The final event is planned for a wider community of around 150 people, including local councillors. 133 people of various age and heritage have already expressed their interest in the project.
