SUMMARY:Wellbeing Circles exploring Worry and Doubt
DESCRIPTION:Our monthly community Wellbeing Circles allow for purposeful conversations to explore topics relating to foundations of wellbeing.  \nThe sessions provide a unique opportunity to pause and consider your overall wellbeing\, connect with others\, explore these deep themes through the reading of quotations\, stories and writings and by discussing their implications on health and wellbeing.   \nWhen working with clients to achieve personal goals\, I find it can be helpful for them to link with others on a similar pathway.  Connecting within a small ‘community’ enables individuals to feel supported\, gain clarity and find a level of accountability.  \nExamples of topics – Giving\, A Sense of Time\, Detachment\, Service\, Wisdom\, Love\, Honesty\, Gratitude \nPlease register for the final sessions now so you don’t miss out on exploring these three topics: Wednesday 9 September @ 7:30pm with the Theme – Worry & Doubt \nWednesday 14 October @ 7:30pm with the Theme – Trustworthiness \nWednesday 11 November @ 7:30pm with the Theme – Generosity These New Pathways Wellbeing Circles are held monthly\, are free to clients\, the general public\, family and friends.  All are welcome.  Please register to attend and confirmation details for the next session will be sent to you.  \nWe provide a safe space to reflect and make connections with like-minded individuals.
