We're so lucky to have a Holistic Therapist on our team. Earlier this month, Miriam (far left below) led a Reiki Level 1 session for colleagues who were interested in developing their holistic practice and gave us the following feedback: “Cathy, Alison, and Jo joined me for our first Staff Reiki workshop. They were all very excited, and so was I, as I always feel it is so special to be able to attune anybody into what I know is a birthright. The morning flew by, sharing experiences and queries, as well as Reiki background history, gently savouring the Reiki energies, while the afternoon was dedicated to practicing the newly acquired skills on each other. By the time the day came to an end, the eagerness and enthusiasm experienced by each one of them was really palpable. I could feel that they really wanted to put into practice what they had learned, and start to make a difference to their lives, as well as to the lives of loved ones around them. One of their last questions before we parted was “when can we do Reiki Level 2?” It brings much joy and warmth to my heart to see and feel their motivation, as I know this is a gift of a lifetime which will improve their everyday lives beyond any of their expectations.”

They said that 'she's a ray of sunshine. So energetic and helpful.' Well done, Clair! It was so lovely to welcome family and friends into the home yesterday to celebrate the coronation with our residents. The afternoon was filled with games (King Splat was popular with all ages), a quiz, bingo, a crown decorating competition, raffle (as part of our electric wheelchair fundraiser), and incredible food. We'd like to say a massive well done to the kitchen team for such an incredible spread and huge thanks to everyone who donated a raffle prize, including Cape Cornwall Club, Morrisons, and Stones.
