Spinal Stewardship & Scribbles is a workshop dedicated to restoring a trusting, workable relationship with the spine. We explore the back not as something fragile to be protected, but as something communicative, adaptable, and capable when tended to with care and understanding.
Through movement, we develop articulative comprehension — learning how the spine moves, bears load, and organises itself against gravity. Strength and mobility are approached together, building resilience without rigidity and confidence without bravado. The aim is not to “fix” the spine, but to help it feel safe enough to do its job.
Alongside the movement practice, there is time to write. These moments are used to note sensations, cues, metaphors, and understandings that speak to you personally. Over time, this becomes the beginnings of a personal user manual — a way of nourishing your relationship with your spine, and with the back of your body as a whole.
A key part of the work is learning to listen. The spine is always communicating. Discomfort is not always structural damage; it can be fatigue, strain, the absence of safety, or a drift away from bodily awareness. These distinctions are explored through practice and conversation, helping to replace fear with understanding.
This is a calm, attentive workshop — practical, reflective, and grounding — offering tools you can return to when your back asks for care.
Who it’s for:
Anyone living in a body with a spine — especially those who carry tension, uncertainty, or a long story with their back. No experience required.
Date - Time - Location
Saturday 21st February
9am to 10 am welcome warm drinks (provided)
