Enjoying the Joys of your Christmas.
Mastering the Chaos!
The chaos, buying, shopping, more buying! Relatives, the stress, the panic buys, the decorations, the presents, the Christmas work party, the expectations, the organising, the FOOD……Christmas can feel like a stress marathon when originally it was a time of retreating, reflecting and gratitude mid-winter.
Take some time out and join Rachel Major-Bird and the Sligo Woodland School team as we look at mastering the chaos, de-stressing the lead up and managing our emotions and expectations during the Christmas period.
Using techniques to calm our nervous systems, soothe our anxiety, reflect and remind us about everything that can be lovely around Christmas.
We will be looking at anxiety, your self care, finding your joy and creativity in the moment.
Let’s make Christmas a time of joy and peace in your world, for you.
Please book through this form in the “other” section, if you would like to come along, it really will be a special way to round off the year!
Join us at the Dock for exciting, hands-on workshops led by Trisha MacLaughlin, a Forest School Educator and founder of Sligo Woodland School.

Through storytelling, we will connect with the ancestral ties to these remarkable plants, creating traditional-style lamps as part of our exploration.Children and young people will step into the role of hunters and gatherers, crafting their own bows and arrows while learning essential skills like whittling and knot-tying.This Saturday Studios is an incredible chance to develop new skills, spark creativity, and deepen connections with the natural world, guided by Trisha MacLaughlin’s expert knowledge and passion for outdoor learning. https://www.thedock.ie/communities/saturday-studios
