Rise up with Risingholme
Term 2 Courses
The events of COVID-19 have shone
a light on protecting and maintaining
our well-being and made us aware of the
importance of social connectedness, family,
lifestyle, and community. With all of this
in mind, Risingholme has coordinated a
Wellbeing Series of courses to support the
community in their next steps out of the
covid cloud.
Your brain is like your body – it gets
stronger when you exercise it. There is a
lot of research that suggests learning new
skills keeps your brain young and fit. In one
study, 256 people with mild to moderate
anxiety took part in community education,
the courses covered a wide variety of topics,
from yoga to creative writing. The study
found that after completing the courses,
most participants reported feeling less
isolated during their courses. They also
experienced better wellbeing and less severe
symptoms, and this improvement lasted for
12 months.
By doing a Risingholme course, you can
find a new hobby, make new friends, and
upskill your life by taking on an enjoyable
challenge. At Risingholme we offer fun
short courses in so many areas that can not
only fit around your life, but better it!
Whether you are looking to improve your
mindset, fitness, creativity, find a new job or
learn mindfulness techniques, below is a list
of new and established Wellbeing courses
that you will enjoy:
• Reiki Mindfulness
• Wellbeing through Creativity
• Fitness and Wellbeing
• Pursuit of Happiness - Goal Creation for
Women
• Discovering more about your Creative Self
• Work Readiness for Women
• Zentangle – A Mindfulness Art Practice
• Yoga
Our courses help to keep you focussed
by helping you to get out of the house.
Your interests may be creative, practical, or
something distinctly personal. Whatever
your interests are, there is sure to be a
Risingholme course for you. What matters
is that it is something you find meaningful
and enjoyable.
