Space to be
Holy Trinity Church
7.00pm-9.00pm
First Tuesday of each month from 6th MARCH
Space To Be is a new event from Holy Trinity Church
and seeks to offer welcome and refuge from the stresses and strains
of everyday living through space for calm and relaxation
Food and drink ...
A range of hot and cold food and drinks are available for you to relax
with either on your own or with others. Newspapers and magazines are
available to pass away the time. There is no charge for drinks but a
suggested tariff is offered.
Sacred Space ...
Here you will find complete calm and peace whatever your own mood.
Relaxing music, the option to light a candle or write a prayer is available.
Sit quietly on a chair, sink into the floor cushions or just wander
- the choice is yours. Linger to reflect on the visual images
around the space or simply go and see what is there.
Kids' Wind Down ...
An opportunity for your children to have space of their own but under
the supervision of a qualified nurse. Quiet games and bedtime stories
are amongst the things on offer to help them enjoy a relaxing time whilst
you make the most of your own space.
Complementary Therapy …
Qualified therapists are on hand to offer complementary therapy from
head, hand or foot massage to full body massage - an ideal way
to ease tense muscles and stress.
You must be over the age of 16 and therapy is only offered after prior
consultation with the therapist.
Need Someone To Talk To?
If you would like to talk to someone about a particular problem or
concern, please look for a person wearing a Space To Be label. We also
have on display leaflets telling you about various places you can go
for further advice and ideas to continue your wellbeing.
Space To Be and Complementary Therapy
Space To Be offers complementary therapies as part
of the holistic approach to the users of the project, aiming to support
and strengthen each person in body, mind and spirit to realise their
capacity as a whole person, created in the image of and beloved by God.
Everyone can benefit from the therapies on offer, which are given by
qualified therapists in a relaxed and friendly manner. The therapies
of massage and "hands on healing" enable supportive relationships
to develop between the practitioners and the service users.
Massage has an obvious beneficial physiological effect, relaxing tight
muscles, encouraging the flow of blood and lymph and, depending on the
movements used, either speeding up or slowing down the metabolism of
the body. It also has a profound psychological effect, with the sense
of touch engendering a sense of self worth, belonging and wellbeing.
Massage can be used for relaxation and to de-stress and, particularly
with the use of essential oils blended specifically for the person in
aromatherapy, also to assist the treatment of minor and chronic ailments,
in the management of pain and to the benefit of people with mental health
problems. For those who do not wish to remove clothing, hands-on healing
offers a gentle and non-invasive, relaxing but deeply powerful treatment
through the power of the Holy Spirit.
The physical therapies can encourage spiritual and emotional issues
to arise (especially any which have been bottled up) and both the therapists
and other members of the team are on hand to listen, comfort and support
within a calm and caring environment.
