What Are You Carrying?

A women’s wellness experience combining guided reflection, strength & mobility and wellbeing. Pause, move, connect and feel lighter. What Are You Carrying? We’re all carrying something: other people’s expectations, self-doubt or an exhausting mental load. Often we’re so used to holding it that it becomes our normal. What Are You Carrying? is a collaborative event from Her Strength Collective and Fortitude Counselling, created for women who are ready to pause and notice what they’ve been holding. Over two hours, this collaborative session brings together two ways of releasing what we carry: through the mind and through the body. The afternoon opens with a short guided reflection and 10-minute brain dump, giving you a moment to put pen to paper and notice what you’ve been carrying. Your reflections are completely private, with no pressure to share. This is followed by a 45-minute strength and mobility session led by Aaliyah, Founder of Her Strength Collective, using intentional movement to explore carrying, load and release through the body. We’ll then move into a wellbeing workshop led by A’isha, Founder of Fortitude Counselling, offering a reflective space to name and explore what’s weighing on you. Together, the two sessions recognise that emotional load isn’t only felt in the mind; it can also be felt in the body. Light refreshments will be provided. Join us on Saturday 24th October, 12pm–2pm, at Reset Studios in Manchester. Please arrive promptly for 12pm so we can begin the experience together. Wear comfortable clothing that you can move freely in. All reflection materials will be provided. Spaces are limited.
