Over the last 2 years, Dragonfly Wellness CIC has been cultivating a collective and inclusive community around a weekly schedule of various wellbeing activities such as meditation, fitness, yoga, SOMA Breathwork and so much more. In addition, we welcome the community for monthly events such as Sound Baths, SOMA Breath & Sound, and seasonal events e.g. Wreath making and bespoke day retreats.
Like many not-for-profits, we are struggling to keep costs the same for our service users, and particularly now as we are unfortunately experiencing a rise in studio rent. This means it will become difficult to offer our services at the lower, more affordable and more accessible cost that we have been operating from.
One of our Dragonfly values has always been to remove barriers and foster greater access to holistic wellbeing activities, whether that is from a financial perspective or due to exclusivity in some westernised-wellbeing-spaces; whether that is because of race, age, sexual or gender identity, and other protected characteristics. One of our active financial barrier-breaking options has been to offer a ‘Karma-Mat’ space at every session. This initiative allowed someone to book one session free of charge to combat personal financial pressures. Within our current climate, we are now contemplating only being able to offer this sporadically.
We desperately want to keep this beautiful space going, to continue to support and hold space for our community. As one supportive measure to seek financial help in continuing the delivery of our mission, we are setting up this Crowd Funding. If you feel called to and can give to us we would be extremely grateful and humbled by your support. Should you wish to learn more about Dragonfly Wellness CIC please visit our website, connect with us on social media, or even pop-by to the studio to see the magick of this space, the offerings, and our community.
We are currently working to expand our services into our local schools in Hertfordshire and while we hope to be granted funding to allow us to do this, any surplus funds raised will be put towards delivering this project. Our 3-year plan seeks to provide support to children, teenagers, and young adults; especially for those who have had a challenging start in life. Accessing holistic support is often a privilege, one that the facilitators at Dragonfly Wellness are all too aware of, each with their own personal journey to becoming a practitioner. We all seek to give back, and our Youth project is just one of these ways.
What people say about us-
'Wow, this place is absolutely incredible! I've had the pleasure of experiencing two breathwork sessions, and each time I left feeling incredibly relaxed and filled with positivity. From the moment I arrived, I was warmly welcomed by the amazing staff, and everyone I encountered was incredibly friendly. I simply can't wait for my next session'
'The studio is amazing, you can feel the positive energy the minute you arrive.
I have valued Laura’s guidance during this time of personal growth and development. I have found this time so valuable that I feel I can ‘measure’ my rapid progress.'
'Oh my word, what an amazing place, the team are so welcoming to new people, I felt so at home here, and have booked every Thursday until Christmas now on their website. At last a place I can connect with likeminded people who are into deep conversations.'
