Circle for People Living with Chronic Illness

CIRCLE FOR PEOPLE LIVING WITH CHRONIC ILLNESS.We would be honoured to welcome you into a safe space for sharing what really needs to be heard about your individual journey with Chronic Illness – however you define that to be. It is our intention to create a balance of sharing our challenges with other kinds of sharings – such as our strengths, insights, gifts and resources. You may wish to spend some time beforehand to think about things which nourish you ~ such as people, places, animals, aspects of nature, colours, scents, music, arts, favourite foods, teas, personal blankets etc. Some of these you could choose to bring with you, or have set up for you to return to afterwards. The setting We will have the privilege to be outside, around a fire, in a beautiful woodland near Ashburton. We will have low benches to sit on, I will bring some big cushions but please do bring anything you need to be comfortable. I will keep an eye on the weather forecast and if it looks to be too wet, I will endeavour to arrange an indoor alternative. Parking is at the gate for those who are ok to walk a few minutes up a gradual incline, and enjoy the woods. If you need to be closer, or if those 2 spaces are full, you can park anywhere along the side of the track, in a way that doesn't block the way. If you need access directly to the seating area please TEXT me on 07722 762701, to arrange to be closer. Wheelchair access can also be arranged.
