Our inspiring community we call family
We are pleased to announce Simply Divine Wellbeing has become a Community Interest Company, which is "not for profit".
After thirty years of working with mental health and trauma with children, parents, carers, and professionals in many settings, Diane Gower's (Director) mission, has been to expand and achieve sustainable growth to continue supporting those, within communities, who are currently experiencing challenging, personal life curcumstances.
We also considered an unconventional creative approach, to managing the symptoms of various illnesses. Self-help has become an integral part of our retreats, where we often work with those affected from generational beliefs and habitual behavior's, including those suffering from, isolation, loss, trauma, domestic violence and disabilities. This includes support for parents and carers in such challenging circumstances.
We, therefore, walk beside, woman, men, their families, regardless of their walk. We stand united to make a difference to them and our future generations to come. As we have found group work has been an invaluable resource for recovery and for empowerment- we host many holistic health programmers from small to large groups, which depends on individual needs during that time.
Our work takes place off the grid, as there is nothing more beneficial to being outside in nature, surrounded by our beautiful purposely built surroundings in Rutland Leicestershire. From Large Tipi, Bell tents, recycled long house and elemental kitchen.
This safe secure space enables everyone to have opportunities to relax, learn and more importantly heal, whilst being at one with nature.
If you are needing support and would like to attend some of our new projects or have any ideas, please get in touch, we love to meet you. Our inspiring work has shown repeated evidence, over the years, with many of our beautiful compassionate team now being volunteers, to gift back their time, in making a difference to change other lives, as their own.
Evidence has shown that our mental health and wellbeing programs, have had great benefit to individuals who work within Social Care, health and education organizations - so please share with your employer as we would love to see you all
We are also pleased to announce we now have a wide network of professionals walking beside us from Psychotherapists, Counsellors, Occupational Therapists, Holistic Health Practitioners, Shamanic Practitioners, Breath work Practitioners, Yoga Teachers, Firewalking Instructors, Sound Therapists, Massage Therapists, and many other alternative holistic health practitioners.
Our three Directors, too our Walking in Beauty Sisters, Holistic Health Practitioners and wonderful volunteers, we deliver many beautiful empowering, creative alternative approaches to support with mental health care and wellbeing, which emphasizing on the interrelationship between mind, body, and spirit, and plays an important role in recovery and healing.
A seed was planted and with years of nurturing, now has flourished into
Simply Divine Wellbeing C.I.C , 2022
Now brings insightful gifts and hosts the most magical ,off the grid, in nature, unique, empowering, and at times challenging, holistic health and wellbeing classes, retreats and events to individuals, families and groups, who wish to explore, leave behind what no longer serves them and enable change to move forward...........
