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
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.
