SUMMARY:HSP Café
DESCRIPTION:RESERVE A SPOT \n \nAre you someone who notices the subtle hues of emotions\, feels the symphony of the surroundings\, and often finds solace in the quiet corners of your mind? You might be a Highly Sensitive Person\, and this drop-in café is your refuge. \nStep into a space crafted with care\, understanding\, and warmth\, where we invite you to embrace your unique trait and connect with kindred spirits who understand the beauty of depth and the strength in vulnerability. In our HSP Café\, conversations flow and connections are forged on the common ground of shared sensitivity. Whether you seek a moment of quiet reflection\, a heart-to-heart with fellow HSPs\, or just the comfort of knowing you’re not alone\, our doors are wide open for you. \nCome\, join us for a cuppa in an atmosphere where being sensitive is not just accepted but celebrated. Ask questions\, share experiences\, or just listen. The HSP Café is more than a space; it’s a community\, a haven\, and a reminder that sensitivity is a beautiful facet of the human experience. \nThe café will be gently facilitated by Cate\, Tricia and Cindy. Come and drop in anytime and stay for as long or as little as you like. It is very relaxed and there is no pressure to join in and chat\, you are welcome to be with us and listen if you prefer. \nHow to find us \nWe have two tables reserved by the windows in the large\, upstairs foyer area in The Biscuit Factory. We’ll have HSP Café signs on the tables so you can find us easily. \nEvent fee \nFree but you must register to get a ticket \nWhat is High Sensitivity? \nDiscovered by Dr. Elaine Aron 25 years ago\, her research revealed that this trait is found in 20% of all people. It’s characterised by a finely tuned nervous system and an acute awareness of subtleties. It’s not just a personality quirk; it’s a neurological difference that brings with it a unique set of strengths and challenges. HSPs process the world around them very deeply\, have strong emotional responses and are naturally very empathic. HSPs get overstimulated easily and often have sensory sensitivity to things such as food\, noise\, lighting etc. \nIf you’re curious about the HSP trait you can take the self-test here. HSPs are known as Orchids in this model. https://sensitivityresearch.com/self-tests/adult-self-test/ \nAbout Cate: \nI first read about high sensitivity in 2010\, related to it immediately and haven’t stopped learning about it since! Tricia and I are now event organisers for our local HSP group\, running free events in Berkshire\, Buckinghamshire and Surrey. It’s such a joy to play a part in bringing people together\, to have fun and bond over their many shared traits and experiences! \nAbout Tricia: \nI’m an HSP and a couples and career counsellor. I have greatly valued the HSP group and being able to socialise with so many people who share some of my sensitive traits. \nAbout Cindy: \nI’m an HSP\, a psychotherapist and I know from my own and other’s experiences how vital it is for HSPs to meet other HSPs to validate and normalise the trait. I’ve have been working with HSPs for 10 years supporting them to flourish\, understand and harmonise their relationship with themselves and others. I founded the community group HSPconnect.uk for HSPs to find others\, connect and build friendships. I also hold therapeutic sharing circles for HSPs within the group. \nRESERVE A SPOT

SUMMARY:Building Our Inner Resources in the Face of Ecological and Global Distress.
DESCRIPTION:Buy Tickets on Eventbrite\n\nBuy Tickets \n  \nHow do we build our inner resources to cope with the daily onslaught of social injustice\, wars\, nature destruction and climate crises? How do we find our best responses and get unstuck from overwhelm\, panic or despair? \nWe are thrilled that we will be joined by guest facilitator and Work That Reconnects elder Mutima Imani.  This is a very rare and unmissable opportunity to work in person with Mutima while she is briefly in the UK. \nWe will move through a day of ritual and practices through The Spiral of Joanna Macy and Molly Brown’s ‘Work That Reconnects/Active Hope’ together in rewilded land. We will create a container together to touch our fear\, grief and anger for what is happening to our world\, acknowledge our overwhelm\, expand our perspectives\, and emerge with a new sense of how we want to show up in this unique time in history. \n“The day felt rich and nourishing but also clear and focused. It helped me to understand more about the challenges of the world we live in and how to be with this so that I can hold that I can move forwards in a more balanced and aligned way. Many aspects of the workshop were deeply moving as we developed connections and awareness as a group. Thank you Cindy and Priyal for sharing this important and crucial work.” – Previous workshop participant\, BW \nAre you ready to reclaim deep connection with yourself\, with others and with the land around you? Join us for a transformative day in rewilded land. We will hold space to listen to the land\, listen to ourselves\, and listen and be heard in community. \nWho is this for? \n• You’re fatigued\, tired\, maybe burnt out \n• You long to be back in alignment with your ecological self\, and communing with the web of relationality that surrounds us \n• You feel as if sometimes you are a processing unit for all the pain in the world. \n• World events leave you feeling overwhelmed\, sometimes despairing\, other times panicked\, maybe numb \n• You welcome the key learnings of this time: \n\nRest – learning practices to rest and sleep well;\nEmbodiment – learning to trust your body as much as your brain;\nEmotions – learning what your emotions are\, why you have them\, and how to process them to free you up and keep you unstuck;\nCommunity – learning how to do this in right relationship\, not alone. To hold space and containment for each other.\n\nWe welcome people from all backgrounds and cultures\, and\, we particularly welcome people of colour. \nThis will be a nurturing day and we warmly invite you to participate. There will be no pressure or judgement on you to participate in all practices\, only do what you feel willing to do. \nWhether you’re seeking clarity\, inspiration\, or simply a space to reflect\, this event promises to provide a deeply enriching experience. \nThis work is needed now more than ever.
