Creative Writing & Poetry Flow
*currently taking a creative retreat.
*will revisit in 2022
You don't need to be a 'poet' to write some words that express something or have meaning.
Slam and Beat Poetry styles arose from the need to express an idea, offer a debate, provoke some thought, express some feelings, change a paradigm, lighten the mood, challenge the 'norm'...!
The Poetry Flow Sessions are an opportunity for you to stand and express yourself without the pressure of conformity.
Come to listen, hear or share!
(No obligation to read).
Bring a story, or a poem or 3 - if you like, you can also bring a print out of your readings so we can take a copy (via photo or photocopier) home with us for continued enjoyment
Rules:
1. you can read your own or someone else's work
2. you can read up to 3 items
3. each item may read no longer that 5min
4. you can simply come and soak up the atmosphere in the audience
5. kind and open minded discussion encouraged
When readings are followed by live music or performance, these sessions will run on a Koha basis with proceeds going to the musician/performer
Mindfulness for Mental Health Practice Group
Mindfulness for Mental Health Support Group
The Mindfulness for Mental Health practice group is a confidential, compassionate and accepting space to practice and learn mindfulness techniques for mental health.
Every Wednesday @ 7pm - 8pm. All welcome.
Location: Flow Space
Cost: Koha only(we will break between 23rd Dec - 7th Jan)
OUR INTENTION: is to bring awareness and support to all of us who experience mental health and wellness challenges and to provide a safe and supportive environment to come and connect and share with others; the level of participation is completely up to the individual - it is acceptable and valuable to sit in with the group without verbal contribution. We aim to provide essential mindfulness skills for self-regulation, constructive self-reflection and disentanglement from mental-emotional challenges.
OUR PHILOSHOPY:
Inclusion
Non-judgment, non-discrimination
Compassion
Community
Peace
HOW MINDFULNESS WORKS:
Mindfulness strategies strengthen our awareness of and detachment from our experiences and our learned, habitual responses to those experiences. We learn that we have a choice and with this choice we can retrain our thought patterns, reduce stress and detach from painful and limiting behaviours and beliefs. Mindful living values encourage us to find our individual and collective life meaning and redirect our attention towards choices that support this.

Strengthen your physical AND mental health.
Mental Health is at the forefront of our modern day challenges and no-one is immune. We could all use a hand to get through at times but it can be a massive effort to ask for help. Come along, and if you're feeling good, then offer a hand to someone who needs it. No judgments, just good attitudes.
