📅 Upcoming Events
🌎👩🏻🤝👩🚩WSO @ the ECOFEST
The month started with attending the EcoFest in Leamington Spa. Though this was a single day event it was busy, vibrant and exciting to chat to so many people about their life issues. That is our real reason for attending the local Festivals, to be present and available to reach out to those who may not want to put their thoughts on paper in a message.
We were also honoured to welcome the High Sheriff of Warwickshire and the Mayor of Kenilworth to our stall. We had an opportunity to meet them and tell them more about the work we do at Women Stepping Out.
As usual, our marble game proved to be a big hit, yet again drawing people to our stall. Congratulations to Ed, our marble game winner of the day, with an impressive 165 marbles
It was also the last event this year and opportunity to use our new Gazebo, bought with a Grant kindly funded by Heart of England.
🪸🌅🌎 The People’s Emergency Briefing
We have a featured talk each month and in October the charity is hosting a showing of the National Emergency Briefing film followed by an interactive discussion on the climate and nature crisis with Jo Harper, Wilder Community Organiser at Warwickshire Wildlife Trust.
📍 Location: Pickard Street Community Centre, Warwick, CV34 4PT.
📆 Date: 12th October 🕖 Timing: 7- 9pm
🧘♀️🪷😌 Monthly Yoga Sessions
Our instructor led Yoga sessions designed to promote good health, mindfulness and wellbeing have started. The first session served as a recognition of ability and both mat and chair exercises were available that worked well together. It was both a relaxing and strengthening morning that was enjoyed by all. These sessions will continue to be conducted on the 4th Tuesday of the month as detailed on the poster.
📍 Location: Pickard Street Community Centre,
📆 Date: 27th October 🕖 Timing: 10am- 11am
🌝🚶♀️Weekly Wednesday Wellness Walks
The Wednesday Wellness Walks continue, though with the evenings drawing in we are using torches towards the end of the walk and in darker areas of the Park.
Cancelled walks are posted on our Socials so please check. We walk weekly unless there aren’t two volunteers available or if the weather is against us. We’re a small friendly, non-judgmental group, a safe space to join and to amble around St Nicholas Park within company every Wednesday evening, unless the weather or lack of volunteers prevents the walk. Come and try us out one Wednesday evening at 7pm, we meet at the Café steps.

🔏🤔🔐 Free and Informed Choices- The Practical Privacy Series
We have a featured talk each month and our speaker this month was Judith Ratcliffe, giving one of her interactive Privacy series Talks which was really interesting and very thought provoking. There were were lots of questions and comments from those who attended. It was amazing and quite shocking to learn how much our privacy is invaded by seemingly unconscious actions- from wearing the new Meta glasses that enhance and record what is in view, to the bloggers who video graph scenes of ‘real life’ capturing bystander’s images without their consent. A truly free or informed choice is rare too.
