Gŵyr Soul is an Embodied Dance Gathering which holds sober concious dance events in Gower. We aim to create a safe space for individuals to express themselves through dance and music to connect with the emotional body for overall wellbeing.

Since May 2022, we have gathered with groups of 30 people to facilitate the practice of embodiment and movement medicine. This community event is truely essential for people to return to the roots of the ancient practice of dance and community cohesion to celebrate natures gifts and the human experience. People of all ages and backgrounds attend our gatherings so please feel free to join!

**Our aim is to raise money to buy bluetooth headphone sets for dancers to use on Three Cliffs beach and other local nature settings to incorporate the elements and the healing power of nature to their dance experience. Nature and dance provides medicine for individuals to release, connect and empower their true selves.**

We live in such an exceptional natural area so we want to embrace its wildness and beauty to connect with our surroundings to help us all live happier and healthier lives which align to natures cycles such as the moon and seasonal cycles!

This post is to spread the word about what we do. So please check us out on Facebook and Instagram.

This event will raise funds to buy headsets for our future dances of 2023!*

The South Gower Community Bus to Mumblesi is a well supported, extremely valuable and long awaited service within the Pennard Community ward. It has transformed the lives of so many people, enabled many lonely, isolated, individuals to appreciate our wider, beautiful, accessible landscape, enjoy the enviroment and socialise with confidence. Residents with mobility issues and those without transport, have embraced the service with joy in their hearts.

The community bus has allowed residents to meet friends and family, socialise and enjoy picturesque walks on accessible terrain. It has enabled members of our community to access classes in the Mumbles area, thereby improving the health and well being of our residents. It has also provided accessible transportation to medical appointments, which previously would involve a number of bus changes, with often a long wait for a connection,a taxi or having to ask a family, friend or neighbour for a lift.

The wonderful service has assisted our community to reduce energy costs, by providing easy access to a spectrum of other outlets to eat, educate, shop and keep warm. The bus is also excellent for the enviroment, by reducing the number of vehicles on the road.

The bus will also bring economic benefit to the community, as residents from the Mumbles area are brought here, to enjoy wonderful walks, followed by refreshments at one of the excellent establishments we have within our community.

The Community Bus to Mumbles costs £30,000 per annum in running costs. We urgently require funding to retain this wonderful, much appreciated, strongly supported service to continue. For the reasons set out above, I therefore request that Pennard Community Council, who work so hard for our residents, contribute some funding to enable our Community Bus to continue for a further period. We have funding to allow the bus to continue until 14th February 2023. We would be so appreciative if Pennard Community Council could look favourably on this request and allocate some or all of their available funding towards this valuable service.

Thank you so much.
