SSHA Winter Wellness Workshop: A brief introduction

Winter is round the corner! As the days get shorter, this also means the drop in temperature, frequent attacks of allergies, colds and flu, a higher pollution rate, not to mention our general wellbeing will be challenged by SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder), and the list continues…

Designed to awaken and enhance the natural healing mechanism within ourselves, the Winter Wellness Workshops will offer creative, simple and effective ways to help you better manage, even thrive during the cold season. We will dedicate equal time, energy and care by working on our physical, mental and emotional health, thus arriving at a balanced state of equilibrium ~ optimized holistic health as the way nature intended.
