We are developing a novel grass-roots programme for empowering healthy self-care.
If your community organisation would like to get involved, or if you would like to find out more
Shiatsu Awareness Month
February is Shiatsu Awareness Month (SAM). A chance for you to get involved with a programme of nation-wide Shiatsu events that’s run annually by Shiatsu Practitioners and the Shiatsu Society UK.
If you’ve never tried a Shiatsu, this is a great opportunity to experience what Shiatsu is about and to learn some simple self-care techniques for yourself.
For this year’s SAM, Bodymindsense is offering ‘no-fee’ taster sessions online which are specifically for healthcare key workers.
Blue Light First Responders, NHS Hospital Staff and Mental Health Professionals working in Cambridgeshire will be able to access these sessions with Bodymindsense 100% subsidised on Saturday 27 February. First come, first served. Must be booked in advance.

Kettle’s Yard / University of Cambridge / The ‘Open House’ Meeting Ground Project
The Meeting Ground Programme of Events, which ran at the end of February 2020, was a collaboration between Artists Josh Wright & Guillame Vandame and Kettle’s Yard. It was a special celebration of activities and events to support wellbeing, held on the Arbury Estate in North Cambridge over two weeks. Featuring artworks by local community residents, the event promoted inclusivity and was open to the general public.
To celebrate national Shiatsu Awareness Month which coincided with the Meeting Ground, we decided to link up with the Project and offered free Shiatsu awareness and taster sessions for one afternoon.
Adults and children enjoyed:
• Ki-based art session
• talk and demo of Shiatsu First Aid
• taster Shiatsu sessions
