Safe Space Wellbeing Workshops
"The greatest challenge of life is how to enjoy it" - Nathaniel Brandon
Welcome
The idea of running the following workshops has originated from my own personal and professional experience as a counsellor/psychotherapist, artist and as a parent.
In a rapidly changing world that has given way to significant transitions on a collective and personal level, I became aware of a deep isolation and an increasing need for individuals to experience a deeper sense of connection to themselves, others and their environment.
What I aim to give in these workshops is an experience that will enable individuals to respond to ourselves and others in a more constructive way, allowing us to live more meaningful and fulfilling lives.
My hope is that out of our individual and collective chaos will emerge, in time, a more accepting, compassionate and enlightened state of consciousness.
‘I say unto you: One must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star.’ - Nietzsche
