Building Local Community Groups
The power of community. Nothing beats taking part in a warm, vibrant community event and meeting people on a regular basis with similar interests or hobbies. Somewhere you can feel safe to express yourselves as you are. Somewhere where you get the opportunity to explore new, creative activities and have fun at the same time doing something you love, and at the same time, building a new support network and friendships along the way.
I love building community groups and organising well-being events. I like to be inspired by what I do and to have the opportunity to be creative where possible. I enjoy working with teams or communities but am also content and able to work on my own initiative when need be.
Current projects
I developed the initiative to organise and promote monthly karaoke events for a new local community group in North London called “Sing and Shine Music Club” that I created in 2018, bringing together a group of women – which is still going strong – who love to sing and share their love of music. I also set up a social media and WhatsApp group to promote my blogs and events. I am a member of Rock Choir, and set up this karaoke group as I wanted initially to keep up the singing during the school holidays when choir didn’t run – however, this group does now run sessions monthly.
Also, this year (2024), I developed a new community group for those interested in experiencing the relaxing benefits of a sound bath as I have gotten much benefit from going to sound baths myself and would like other people to experience the benefits too. Managing our mental and physical well-being is an important priority right now, and I love to encourage people to take time out for self-care, relaxation and joy – as I do myself – to help calm down our nervous system and release any anxiety and the stress in our everyday lives. It’s great to declutter our minds even if for a short amount of time.
Live. Be happy. Thrive.
