The summer solstice is almost here and the energy is building.
This is the season of light. Of fullness. Of pausing at the height of summer and asking yourself what am I actually creating with this one sacred life?
This month's Make & Meditate on the 25th of June is celebrating that energy.
We will be working with natural materials to create something beautiful to take home. Something that catches the light and carries your intention into the summer ahead.
If life has been feeling full, loud or like you have not had a moment to breathe lately, this is your invitation.
A gentle in person evening of making, meditation and being held in a small supportive space where nothing is expected of you.
No pressure to talk. No pressure to get it right. Just space to breathe, create and reconnect.
Included in your evening are all materials for your handmade creation. A gently guided meditation to calm your nervous system. A small intimate group space. Soup and tea. A deeply relaxing atmosphere designed to help you unwind
Spaces are limited to keep the evening intimate and special.
You do not need to know anything. You just need to come as you are.
This is your sign to pause and book your place here https://stan.store/KarenWhybrow/p/make--meditate

This week is Mental Health Awareness Week and I want to talk about something that does not get mentioned enough.

We do not regulate alone.

Our nervous systems are literally wired for connection. From the moment we are born we learn to feel safe not in isolation but in the presence of others who see us, respond to us and stay with us through the uncomfortable moments.

This is called co-regulation. And it is not a wellness trend or a nice idea. It is biology.

When you are in the presence of someone who is calm, grounded and genuinely present your nervous system begins to mirror that safety. Your heart rate settles. Your breathing slows. The part of your brain that has been scanning for threat begins to soften.

You do not have to do anything. You just have to be there. Together.

This is why grief feels so unbearable in isolation. Why overwhelm spirals when we are always alone with it. Why even sitting quietly in the same room as someone safe can shift something that hours of trying to think your way through could not touch.

We are not designed to hold everything by ourselves. And asking for support is not weakness. It is the most intelligent thing your nervous system can do.

If you would like to feel this in action I would love to invite you to something.

On the 29th May at 6.30pm Karen is holding a Make and Meditate evening with us. A small, intimate, in person gathering where you will be guided through a simple nature based craft and a calming meditation in a space that is specifically held to help your nervous system settle and soften.

No pressure to talk. No pressure to get anything right. Just a gentle, grounded evening in community where you can breathe, create and come back to yourself.

Soup and tea included. Spaces are limited to keep the space intimate.

If you have been feeling stretched thin, overwhelmed or like you just need somewhere to land, this is that place.

Message us or Karen directly to book your space.

Good evening all!

It’s with very mixed emotions that we are announcing that this will be our last week as Yam Frae Yam.

It has been an incredible journey over the past 8 years and an honour to serve the community, local and from further afield. But, as many of you know, 15 months ago our priorities changed somewhat! We have tried our best to make self employment and parenthood work for us but unfortunately, due to the stresses of both and some external pressures, we have reached a point where we are having to make a choice and as difficult as it is it’s also an easy one. Fred and family come first ☺️ and a new challenge calls.

After Friday we will be closing our doors for the last time. We very much feel the burden of losing another business in the village in an already difficult time and once we have settled in to our new routine we will explore the best options to utilise the space. We appreciate your patience in the meantime.

If you have picture framing or artwork with us we will be in touch with you very shortly.

We wish to thank you for your support over the years and to take the opportunity to say that our lovely regulars are more like family to us, have been our beating heart and bought us lots of joy and lovely memories over the years. There may have been tears this week!

This is not the end. Just a new chapter 😊 and one we are quite excited for!

Love,

Laura, Josh & Fred x
