Description
WHAT IS IT?
The Joy Lab is your seasonal reset—playful, immersive, and rooted in science-backed well-being that actually feels good. It’s not about achieving your best self. It’s about feeling better, laughing more, and giving your body, brain and gut a bit of love after summer’s chaos.
We’re talking movement, mood-boosting food, gut health magic, and a mindful moment involving pipe cleaners or glitter (yes, really). This isn’t a retreat. This is a joy-fuelled experiment in feeling good.
HERE’S HOW IT FLOWS:
🌞 Feel-Good Morning Flow & Laughter Yoga
A bright, grounding start. You’ll stretch, shake, breathe, and laugh your way into the day. Nothing too serious, just a full-body mood boost to remind you that movement can feel like freedom—not a chore.
✨ Fermentation & Gut Health Workshop with Good Fermentation
Straight into the bubbling magic.
Led by the brilliant team at Good Fermentation, this session dives into:
Why your gut is basically your second brain
How fermented foods support mood, clarity, and calm
And how to make your own seasonal ferment—which will flow beautifully into lunch…
🥗 Seasonal Lunch & Gut-Loving Pairing
A delicious, seasonal feast with elements created from (or inspired by) your ferment. Expect dishes that are beautiful, nourishing, and made with your insides in mind. You’ll also enjoy a curated drink pairing—alcoholic or not—that complements the gut-friendly theme.
🍵 Seasonal Tea Break
Yes, it’s a proper moment. Post-lunch, we pause again with a warming, calming, perfectly timed tea blend, created to aid digestion and soothe the nervous system. Sip, chat, wander, breathe.
🎨 Kid’s Craft (but for grown-ups)
Think of it as mindfulness in disguise. A nostalgic, joyful, hands-on creative session designed to reconnect you with your inner kid, quiet your mind, and make something delightfully pointless—but wonderful.
Expect glue sticks, colours, and maybe some pipe cleaners. It’s play as self-care, and exactly what your nervous system didn’t know it needed.
💛 Closing Reflection & Take-Home Ritual
We wrap with a gentle pause. A moment to reflect, breathe, and take stock of how different your body and brain feel now. You’ll leave with your gut-loving creation, a pocket of calm, and a few surprises in your Feel-Good Box to keep the joy bubbling.
WHO’S IT FOR?
People who want to feel better without having to green juice their way there.
Anyone who’s curious about gut health but also really into cake.
Grown-ups who miss crafts.
Those looking for connection, rest, laughter and a bit of glow.
