Swindon’s STEAM Museum is gearing up for the town’s first-ever wellness festival, taking place on Saturday 8 and Sunday 9 February.
A spokesperson said: "The two-day event promises to help kick-start your year by promoting heath, wellness and positive lifestyle changes, as well the opportunity to become more spiritually aware.
"Included in the inaugural event’s line-up are a wide variety of dynamic workshops, including breathwork, dance flow meditation, and a variety of mindful exercises.
"Visitors will also be invited to take part in a ground-breaking sound bath workshop, where participants will experience soothing vibrations and calming sounds from Tibetan bowls, gongs and chimes. The workshops have a limited capacity and a number of spaces will be available to book in advance.
"Speakers will present engaging talks on a range of topics such as stress relief, changing your mindset to overcome self-destructive beliefs, and how the language we use and our posture reflects who we are."
Cllr Marina Strinkovsky, Swindon Borough Council’s Cabinet Member for Placemaking and Planning, said: “I’m pleased to see this new event added to the museum’s busy and diverse calendar.
“The early months of the year are always good for some reflection and making positive health choices, and the Wellbeing Festival is sure to have something to interest everyone.
“I’m definitely going to come and have a look at the workshops and listen to some of the talks, and can’t wait to see what else is coming to STEAM later in the year.”
Mini-taster sessions of reflexology, reiki and beauty treatments will be available to try and local physiotherapists, hypnotherapists, fitness coaches and chiropractors will all be on hand to give advice.
There will be stalls selling items designed to nourish the body and soul, such as natural remedies, aromatherapy products, crystals and more.
Day tickets for the event cost £17, which includes entry to talks and workshops (subject to availability).
Healthy refreshments will be available to purchase throughout the weekend.
