Monday 5th June 2023 - Sunday 11th June 2023 - 'A Moment For Me' photo competition

We would like to invite you to take part in our ‘A Moment for Me’ competition. All you need to do to be entered into our prize draw to win a dining voucher for Brudolff Hotels is send us a photo or picture showing what you have done for yourself this week. How have you taken a moment out/a moment for yourself? We can’t wait to see your pictures!

You don’t have to be in the photo unless you wish to - (please be aware that the winning photo, chosen at random, will be displayed on our Facebook page, so by sending us a photo to use, you are agreeing to the photo being used in this way).

Photos can be posted in to Shetland Carers at 14 Market Street, Lerwick, Shetland (remember to include your name) or emailed to carers@shetland.org or sent via private message on our Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/ShetlandCarers/

We’d love to see how you enjoy taking a moment for yourself. This could be anything from having a cuppa, baking or cooking, swimming, walking, gardening, knitting, reading, whatever!

The competition closes on Sunday 11^th June at 9pm. A winner will then be chosen at random, and the winning photo will be displayed on our Facebook page on Monday 12^th June. Good luck!

Thursday 8th June 2023 - Himalayan Sound Therapy session with Holistic Yoga Shetland, 11.30am-12.30pm at Staneyhill Hall, Lerwick

Himalayan Sound Therapy session with Anjani Devi from Holistic Yoga Shetland at Staneyhill Hall. All you need to do is cosy up (lay down or use a chair) and listen to the wonderful sounds created by genuine Himalayan singing bowls, giant symphonic gong, elemental chimes and Indian harmonium accompanied by Sanskrit mantra. These powerful vibrations are exceptionally good for releasing any stress or tension held in the body, allowing the deepest level of relaxation, leaving you rested and feeling restored.

Please bring a yoga mat (there will be some spare ones), a blanket to keep warm, a cushion for your head (and for underneath your knees if that’s something that would feel good) and something lightweight to cover your eyes with (scarf, eye mask etc.).

PLEASE NOTE - This therapy isn’t suitable for anyone using a pacemaker, who has epilepsy or is in their first trimester of pregnancy.

Please note spaces are strictly limited for this session, and must be booked - email carers@shetland.org or telephone 01595 743980.
