Saturday Soiree - all welcome!!

Saturday Soiree - all welcome!!

Well hello to anyone who's discovered this new thread .... and welcome!!!

For some time I've noticed things are a bit quiet on a Saturday, especially in the evening. So this will be a social gathering for all forumites and hopefully a place to relax and meet friends. It's also a place where you can talk about whatever's going on for you at the moment, safely, and find support.

If you want to bring something to eat or drink that would be welcome, whatever makes you happy.

Actually that may be a good place to start - jump in anywhere and let us know one thing that makes you happy - currently or over time.

Really looking forward to finding a posse to hang with on a Saturday.

L E T ' S P A R T Y !!!

EDIT : Do feel free to contribute some music too. Of any style. The more the merrier ...

Welcome!!!

I took my cat to vet today too. Sometimes they overextend themselves. Hope his leg heals alright.

Cheers

Hey @Appleblossom and @Adge and others hovering under the support button. Not sure where the last 4 hrs went ... spoke to mum, my adult child and my sister on the phone and napped for less than an hour and the time just disappeared. Really nice to be having a home day alone today. Not sure how I'll go tonight because usually when I'm home by myself the dog is here. Will lock myself in and watch telly so I don't alert to every little sound - possum etc. Neighbours are away too. But at least sil's mum is home next door. Just feeling a little anxious as there was a nasty dv in front of our house earlier this week. Police etc. Plus the night before Oz day there will be lots of drunks around. We get them going in both directions past here in the wee hours when their pubs and clubs close. I'll leave the outside lights on too I think. That's my little rave for today.

Hope it's been a peaceful day for all. Wondering whether to keep this thread going or not. Very quiet here the last couple of weeks.

Hi @eth Yes Trauma Yoga is a "thing" now - it's called "Trauma-Sensitive Yoga".

There's a special "Certified" training for Yoga teachers, to be able to teach it.

Personally, I think adding the word "Trauma" to "Yoga" - is what makes them double the price.

It really is just ordinary Hatha Yoga, at twice the price ($30 to $50 per class), instead of $15 to $20 per class.

I'm just home from the 1st class of this trauma yoga course (6 weeks).

The background info given by this yoga teacher was much better - she gave quite a lot of explanation, which I found helpful.

The other trauma yoga course that I did a few months ago (5 weeks) - gave virtually no explanation of what we were doing (or why), despite the fact that they had promised to explain.

Hey @Adge I hope the course goes well and you benefit from it. Good to hear that the teacher is explaining things for you.

Re: Saturday Soiree - all welcome!!

I have "movement-sensitive lights" (front & back), which I always leave on at night too @eth

Makes me feel a little bit safer - because I'm always at home on my own.

It may be noisy or rowdy near here, tomorrow night (Aust Day).

Although most of the rowdiness will be in the city (river foreshore) - close to where we have our Big Australia Day Fireworks Display (Oh what Mayhem)....
