How good are you at being good to yourself?
Not good enough, we bet. Because we doubt you’re reading this by the pool at a Swiss spa. You might be too busy looking after other people. Your personal wellbeing might be way down on your list of priorities. You might be working all hours. And money might be tight.
What We Do?
We base all of our activities on the 5 Ways of Wellbeing, focusing on Connection, Movement and Learning New Skill. It is vital that we have safe spaces to experience life, wellness and community. Through the support of paid workshops, funders and community partners, we are able to provide opportunities for women to connect.
1
Move
We have bi-monthly women-only beginner Walks and Bike rides. They are all easy going and we go our come rain or shine – unless there’s a weather warming.
2
Create
We also run regular craft workshops with a focus on Tie-dye, sewing and embroidery.
3
Socialise
Cross-cultural and cross-generational spaces are our specialty. Via our Women’s Wellbeing Weekend, Family socials and Public Living Room, we make spaces for connection, conversation, candor and cackles.
Our name?
For those of you who don’t speak Yorùbá, Idaraya means “exercise” (well, “things that make the body/self feel good”). Handy to know if you ever find yourself in Nigeria wearing a leotard and a pair of trainers.
