Here is the programme for March.
Wed 2 March
10am to 12noon Chair Massage
1pm to 3pm Recovery College Workshop: Introduction to Recovery and Wellbeing
In this introductory workshop we will explore ideas about personal recovery and wellbeing, and the ways in which recovery is unique to each person. Each of us has different experiences to understand. Each of us has different ways to learn and grow. Recovery is not a new ‘fad’ or idea. It belongs to a rich tradition of human beings caring about themselves and one another. In this workshop we will discover how recovery is possible for everyone, because recovery is about understanding ourselves and each other, and learning and growing.
Wed 9 March
10am to 12noon Chair Massage
12noon to 1pm Sharing Stories Walkabout
Learn a little history and share your own experiences of our area with Sandra, NHS Community Connector. This week we focus on the Portobello and Notting Hill area. The Walk will end at The SPACE where refreshments and good company will be available.
Wed 16 March
10am to 12noon Chair Massage
1pm to 3pm Recovery College Workshop: Discovering Self Compassion
If you tend to criticise and judge yourself more harshly than you would others, if you concentrate more on your mistakes and failures than your strengths and successes, if you often feel that you are not good enough, or that you are not doing enough, if your self-critical thoughts are making it more difficult for you to get through these challenging times, this introductory workshop is designed to show you that there is another way. We can all learn to develop self-compassion and be kinder to ourselves.
