Slow down! Look at the Lego bricks, noticing texture, shape & size Feel the bricks, noticing the different shapes & textures (close your eyes if you wish) Connect the bricks together, one by one (don’t try to build a specific object) Focus on the process of slowly connecting bricks – if your mind wanders, gently guide it back to the present https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SuYwm-wBwBY

How do you feel? Do you feel different in any way to when you started the mindful Lego activity? Can you share any reflections on the workshop as a whole?
