Wellbeing for you (Crochet) (Step 1) (01G19TL/24)

What will I learn?

On this course, you will learn the basics of mindfulness and how to carry out crochet activities in a mindful and relaxing way.

This will include identifying sources of stress in your own life and how to apply your new skills to help you to relax in your daily life.
