This week, we are holding our second session of our women's group, and we are asking you
What does recovery mean to you? 🌸

We keep going through so much. Stress, grief, relationships, work and the everyday struggles that people around us might never see. But when you’re giving so much of yourself, what helps you recharge?

This month at Her Space, we’re making time to explore that together. What leaves you feeling drained? What helps you feel more like yourself? And how can you make room for your own needs alongside everything else?

Come along for a warm, honest conversation with other women, a helping hand and some encouragement to prioritise yourself. You’re welcome to share what you’re going through or simply sit, listen and take some time for you.

You don’t need to have the answers or know where to start. You’re welcome as you are. 🤍

📅 Wednesday 21st October
🕢 7:30pm to 9:30pm
📍 The Padded Cell, 28 Hornsby Square, Laindon, SS15 6SD
🌸 £5 per person donation

October's Red Light Sound Bath is officially sold out.

There's something special about lying back in the warm glow of red light while Vicki fills the room with relaxing sounds. Phones away, eyes closed, nothing to do but breathe, let go and let the sound wash over you. It's an hour to slow right down, quiet a busy mind and give your body the rest it's been asking for.

If you missed out this time, don't worry. Bookings are now open for November, and spaces go quickly, so we'd recommend securing yours early.

The Drugs Don’t Work has always been one of those songs, but it hits differently when you’re watching parents and older family members begin to struggle.

Dementia, mobility, illness, medication, hospital appointments, uncertainty. And usually, somewhere behind all of that, there is somebody quietly trying to hold things together.

A son, a daughter, a partner, a family member.

That’s something we see a lot at The Padded Cell.

People coming through the door who are carrying their own life, work, family and pressures, while also trying to look after somebody they love.

The Padded Cell was built to meet people where they’re at, and I never want us to lose that identity as a Community Interest Company.

Sometimes recovery isn’t about fixing everything.

Sometimes it’s just having somewhere to go, somewhere to breathe, somewhere to put things down for an hour and remember that the person doing the caring needs looking after too.

That song seemed to say a lot of that without needing to say too much.

Tonight at Down Tools we’re talking about recovery and what that actually means.

After a year at The Padded Cell we’ve learnt loads about recovery, from oxygen, red light, hot and cold, movement and rest, through to mindset, conversation, music and connection.

We’ve seen it help people in sport, people with MS and pain, people under pressure, and people just trying to get through life a bit better.

Not forgetting we recover from achievements and good things too🙌

So tonight is really a simple conversation around this:

What helps us recover, not just keep going?

No pressure to speak. Come down, listen and join in if you feel you’d like to 👊

We’re looking forward to having Patsy from Beautiful You Clinic with us at The Padded Cell on Thursday 22 October.

Sometimes you just need an hour where you can stop, breathe and let someone look after you for a change. Patsy offers a lovely mix of treatments, from sound healing, EFT tapping and massage through to facials, peels and microneedling. Whether you’re feeling run down, carrying a bit of stress or simply fancy some time for yourself, you can talk with Patsy about what would suit you.

There are just two spaces left, at 12pm and 1:15pm. If one of those has your name on it, contact Patsy on 07923 694251 or 01277 714 944 to book.

We’d love to welcome you in 💚
