About the session:
We often take our senses for granted and yet greater sensory awareness enables us to focus on the present, reduce anxiety and improve our emotional reactions to things that occur around us. Sensory awareness is also a fundamental part of wine tasting. In this fun and entertaining CPD session, through using sensory awareness techniques to taste 5 different wines from Spain and Portugal, we will learn what sensory awareness is and how it can be used to improve our mental wellbeing.
Learning Outcomes:
By the end of the session, participants will be able to:
- Identify the key elements of sensory awareness
- Recognise the link between sensory awareness and mental wellbeing
- Implement a strategy to engage in more sensory awareness and so improve mental wellbeing
