For this term’s Personal Development Day, we embraced the ancient Japanese philosophy of ‘Wabi-Sabi’, designing a range of activities to help learners connect with the moment and truly see the beauty in things that are ‘incomplete.’

This philosophy directly supports our Ladybridge WISDOM qualities, championing Kindness, Resilience, and Teamwork!

Learners fully immersed themselves in the theme with a number of related activities:

• Rivington Nature Walks provided lovely wellbeing sessions, combining mindfulness and observation to find beauty in nature
  
• In the Kintsugi workshops, learners experienced moments of calm and concentration in repairing fractured bowls and celebrating the beauty in the finished flawed designs
  
• Martial Arts and Sumo Wrestling provided for light-hearted fun as learners donned oversized suits whilst the team game challenges tested minds and teamwork
