OPENING OUR DOORS!

Starting 10th January 2012, we will be opening our doors to include a wider variety of chronic conditions. The work we do in the group sessions is practical and beneficial to body and mind, of all individuals.  Therefore we are no longer confining meet-ups to physical chronic pain and illness, but also mental pain and illness, since this often leads to physical pain in itself. Included:
Stress
Anxiety
Depression

Or simply come along to the group for:
Developing Mindfulness
Personal development

We are also restructuring payment to make it affordable to all who wish to join. A number of concessions may be available to those is genuine need, and as the numbers go up we will certainly be able to reduce the fees! Get in touch if you wish to discuss options :)

Next Session NOV 15th

Wintry weather is upon us and the days are seeming shorter. Darkness doesn't need to equal bleakness. Many fun things can happen in the dark, by candle light with a cosy fire, pleasant company or a creative activity. We can re-program our associations and resultant thoughts and feelings. It's not difficult, and takes moments! Question why you feel blue when the sun goes down. Does it make rational sense? Challenge your thoughts... The day is not over because it is dark, it is a new part of the day to explore- in a flattering light!

If all else fails, know that you are not alone in this mood-drop. Come and join us Nov 15th for a boost!
