Benjamin Land’s Wellbeing 1st mindfulness retreats feature in Moonglade,\u00a0Alt.Cardiff’s new wellbeing magazine<\/h2>\n
\"\"

Yoga fanatic and entrepreneur Benjamin Land has launched Wellbeing 1st<\/sup><\/a>, a social enterprise that aims to help improve the wellbeing of young people in Cardiff and South Wales.<\/p>\n

The enterprise has already hosted two retreats at Cardiff University, which feature yoga, meditation, vegetarian food and an assortment of other mindfulness activities.<\/p>\n

The next retreat will take place on Sunday 28 January, while there will also be a residential retreat occurring towards the beginning of March, although the exact date for this is yet to be confirmed.<\/p>\n

Previously a student at Cardiff University, Benjamin saw the struggle and stress that students go through during their degree and wanted to do something to help.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cWellbeing 1st<\/sup> is my dream of helping young people in Wales suffering with anxiety and depression and other mental health issues,\u201d adding that \u201cIt\u2019s going to be set up as a social enterprise. It\u2019s for the benefit of everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"

Benjamin has high aspirations for the enterprise and hopes that in a year\u2019s time it will be widely recognised, with funding from the Welsh Government and the Princes Trust.<\/p>\n

An interview with Benjamin about the enterprise will be the featured article in the first issue of Moonglade, a new magazine that launches today in conjunction with AltCardiff.<\/p>\n

Moonglade\u2019s goal is \u201cshining a light on calm,\u201d which means that the magazine hopes to highlight calming activities and ideas in order to help people in Cardiff stay mindful and relieve stress.<\/p>\n

The magazine contains various features that give advice and profile organisations that can offer help to anyone who might struggle to deal with stress and anxiety. Following feedback from a survey, Moonglade hopes to appeal to people that might not normally read mindfulness magazines.<\/p>\n

The first issue is available online now on issuu.<\/p>\n
