If Only: Revisiting Regret

Date : Sunday November 26th 2023

Time: 3-5pm UK

Cost: 25 €

Where: Online via Zoom

Description: Most of us would consider our life well-lived if we could say we had no regrets. Yet according to a 2021 survey by The American Regret Project, 82% of Americans report experiencing regret at least occasionally. Regret is a part of our human experience, and can actually help us lead richer lives, if we face it, and learn from it. In this two-hour online workshop, you'll be invited to identify some of your regrets, write about them, and experience them through your body using simple somatic exercises. It's an opportunity to revisit a potentially harmful and limiting way of looking at your life, and turn it into a map that will help you move forward, or simply be more at peace with where you are.

Receiving

Date: Sunday, December 10th, 2023
Time: 3 – 5 pm UK
Cost: 25 €
Where: Online via Zoom
Description:
Everything from the Bible to neuroscience tells us that it’s better to give than to receive. But sometimes we’re so invested in the action of providing or bestowing that we become strangers to the possibility of accepting and allowing. In this writing-and-somatics workshop, we’ll write about different aspects of receiving and our own ability to welcome the world in. Through simple somatic exercises, we’ll also explore what it means to be receptive in our bodies. If you’re a caregiver or in one of the helping professions, if you’re entering this end-of-year season running on empty, or if you’re someone who finds it hard to take time for yourself and just be – these two hours will fill your cup.

We will experiment with enriching the darker days, enhanced and amplified by the dynamic of the group.

 

Using Poetry to Find New Year Gifts

Date: Fri 29 Dec 2023
Time: 7-9pm
Cost: £25 
Description:
 
Join me for this writing for wellbeing workshops specifically created to help you reflect on the highs and lows of 2023 before you create not resolutions but sankalpas (a more yogic way to set intentions). 
 
The two-hour Zoom session will include:
 
✨ New Year journaling 
✨ Reviewing 2023
✨ Set sankalpas for 2024
✨ Leave with a ritual for when the clock strikes 🙏🏼
 
I’ve been running this workshop for the last four years, which I can’t quite believe! I think it’s probably my favourite individual poetry therapy workshop in my offering at the moment.
 
We will also do a lovely ritual together which you can do on New Year’s Eve.
 
You can book via Eventbrite  https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/after-the-clock-strikes-using-poetry-to-find-new-year-gifts-tickets-763841449337 or else email me to save on the Eventbrite booking fee ✨
