Yoga By Donation

Yoga by donation. All levels welcome. These classes are an opportunity to gather with others in a welcoming space. We move, breathe, centre ourselves and track the sensations that the body uses to communicate its aliveness. A life affirming ritual that combines challenge with surrender.

Social Walk - Everyone Welcome

We’ll meet outside the Co-Op in Forest Row at 6pm on Tuesday 28 July for a relaxed, approximately, 6km (3.7 mile) walk. Our route goes down Station Road, up towards Tablehurst Farm, across two fields, past Emerson College, along a short stretch of Hartfield Road, then onto the Forest Way before returning to the Co-Op. There’s a steady hill at Tablehurst with lovely views over the village. A few steps and some uneven ground along the Forest Way, but nothing too challenging. Of course, if it is hot, bring water! And if you use, and think you'll need them, bring poles too. If you intend on coming along, please message me or WhatsApp me, Claire Phillips, on . This is in case we need to cancel due to weather or unforeseen circumstances. Hope to see you there! Click Here

Singing Mamas Forest Row

Singing Mamas sessions are a space where all women, no matter their singing skill, can come together in a supportive community. Whether you’ve sung for years or feel a bit hesitant, our relaxed environment welcomes you and your little ones to connect, sing, and find joy in shared melodies. No auditions, no solos, just a community coming together in song! More info: https://forestrowvillagehall.org/organiser/singing-mamas/ https://www.singingmamas.org/ What To Expect Community Connection: A warm, welcoming space where you can connect with other local women and share experiences. Guided Singing: Our sessions are tailored to every level. You’ll be introduced to simple songs taught by ear, ensuring everyone can participate, regardless of prior singing experience. Child-Friendly: We understand the demands of motherhood. Feel free to bring your little ones along. We foster a family-friendly environment where kids are part of the joy. Supportive Atmosphere: Nervous about singing in a group or worried you’re not ‘good enough’? Don’t be. Our main goal is to uplift each other and find joy in the process, not to perform perfectly. Refreshment Break: We always make time for a little break, allowing you to relax, chat with fellow mamas, and enjoy some refreshments. Benefits Inclusive Environment: Being part of a group where everyone is welcome, regardless of singing ability or experience, boosts confidence and self-worth.
