Summer Update at Fresh in the City

20/06/2010 by admin.

Things may have seemed a little quiet at fresh in the city of late; and with good reason, they have ~ on-line! But here’s a little update of what’s been going on elsewhere at fresh in the city…

Rather than working on-line so much, as I have done over the last 2 years, I took the decision to work more off-line, and in my local community, earlier this year…and that decision has taken me in other directions in my work, which I’m pleased about. I’ve recently been working with START creative in Salford; a charity, which supports the recovery of people who have developed mental illness.  The project promotes well-being and mental health through art and craft, creative activity, volunteering placements and a whole host of other ways, I’ve still to learn about. What I can say, is that it is one of the best projects I have seen and I’m honoured to be working there. It’s great to be using my nutrition and lifestyle coaching skills in a community setting again, and working in public health. 

I’ve been teaching a 6 week course at START: Finding your direction, mapping your future, and creating well-being and I am going to be running fresh menu makeover 2 day workshops there during July, which I’m really looking forward to.  I’m also looking to deliver these workshops and courses in other community organisations who would find them beneficial.  If you are interested in me delivering the courses or workshops to your organisation, or if you know of anyone who would be interested in me delivering them, then do email me at janet@freshinthecity.co.uk I am clear that getting this work out into local communities, is where my vocation lies right now, and I would love to hear from you if the work I offer is work that you or your organisation are looking for.

Work aside, I’ve also been making preparations for a sabbatical I’m very pleased to be taking later in this year. In the Autumn I am going to be spending a little time travelling in rural France.  The trip is a 1 month sabbatical away from working, and will also be a time to explore some other possibilities for myself and my life for the future.  Little to say now about that, of course, pre-sabbatical, but I will be back on-line in the Winter time, refreshed, revitalised, and I’m certain, ready for new adventures, new work, and I’ll look forward to updating you with any ‘fresh in the city’ developments at that time.

Wishing you well

Regards

Janet
