The RELEASE programme
Grief can bring us all sorts of emotions, including feeling angry, sad, exhausted, and like our world
has been turned upside down.
Boxing is a great way of channelling these reactions, releasing excess adrenalin and energy, and
helping our overall health and wellbeing too.
Join us for an innovative way of exploring your grief by using boxing and fitness in a welcoming,
friendly group of people who’ve experienced bereavement too.
The Loss Project, RTB Fitness, LOROS Hospice and Dying Matters Rutland are bringing you the RELEASE Programme, a six week boxing and exercise programme which uses boxing as a way to help us to process and
acknowledge grief.
The sessions are open to anyone aged 18+, of any abilities, with no previous boxing or fitness
experience necessary to participate. The sessions are all non-contact and give you a great way to try
boxing, get fit alongside mindfulness techniques and other ways of exploring our natural and human
responses to grief.
A participant from the West Essex RELEASE group said:
"The bereavement boxing group has really helped me navigate my grief. When you lose somebody,
it’s really hard to stay motivated to do anything. This group has given me something to look forward
to and has been a great way to relieve the stress and anxiety that comes with grief. Carly has been amazing and hasn’t pushed anyone to speak about their feelings but allows us time to do so when we’re ready. It was very helpful meeting others who had been through similar experiences, as you can talk about your feelings and begin to understand that you’re not alone. This group has really gotten me through the last couple of months and helped me when I felt at my lowest."
Starting: 25th January 18:30
Location: St Georges Barracks, North Luffenham, LE15 8RL
