We are currently putting together the calendar of Masterclasses and Fireside chats for Community members, and are keen to hear from you about what TOPICS or THEMES you are interested in learning more about, or indeed if you have a speciality that you would like to share with the Community - please do share any ideas, the more the merrier...
Hi Kate
I would be interested to explore how mindfulness and compassion are tools that can support those caring for others with long term health problems. I'm not referring here to those in caring professions but those caring day to day for a close family member where the impact this has on relationships and the dynamics are somewhat different. It can feel a very lonely place at times even though there are many people out there in a similar position. It may be community topic I'll bring up at some point but thought it would also lend itself to a fireside chat. I wouldn't call it a 'speciality' but I'm very happy to contribute from both angles - having worked in a caring profession and supporting another as carer in my private life. Maybe bring Caroline Hoffman to the chat who contributed to the Living Well with Kindness event?
Warmest wishes
Andrea
