Very happy to be running this group again in the New Year, in Reading, starting Friday 10 January.

This is a set of 3 meet ups and you will come away with a little stitched piece of your own. We will be focussing on stitching a fabric scroll (although what you actually make is completely up to you).

Last time the group was a fabulous place to talk, meet others or take time for yourself. The venue allows for both, as do the people.

No charge but booking is necessary so we have a clear idea of numbers.

“I am loving how this project literally changed direction. I had envisaged it hanging in a more portrait orientation and the group added their pieces in landscape. And so it changes. This is the beauty of group work and collaboration as we see what emerges.”

An example of image/object making in arts therapy.
I just noticed the recent addition of green, fresh leaf to this image. This also shows how images change and show the potential for change in us as new images emerge in the therapy/reflection space.

Highly recommend this course to clients and friends. Breathing is a fabulous way to support the regulation of our nervous system. Breathing is something we can easily take control of and it impacts so many aspects of mind and body (emotions, nervous system and more).
Have a look and have a try! I use this at work in and in my every day life and Deborah is a fabulous teacher and role model.
