Flows of Care

Join us at Firepit for Flows of Care - two workshops in one!

Through interactive listening and mindfulness exercises, you will learn practical ways of caring for yourself and others that you can take away and immediately apply in your day to day lives.

Care can flow in different directions. Most of us are better at looking after other people than we are at looking after ourselves, and plenty of us are worse still at letting anyone look after us. This workshop covers all three flows of care.

In the first half, Mem - Listener, Facilitator and Founder of someone who listens, will show you what good listening actually looks like and what gets in the way of it. You will leave knowing how to be there for someone through listening properly, in a way that supports them and allows them to feel heard, rather than leaving them feeling like they haven’t had the time and space to express themselves fully.

In the second half, Amar - Transformational Coach, Radical Self-Care practitioner and Founder of Rise & Shine, will turn the attention inwards. You'll learn how to regulate your emotions in healthier ways, and reflect on how you relate to yourself when things get hard. There will also be plenty of space to explore how you can introduce more mindfulness and self-care into your daily lives.

This workshop will involve some interactive and creative elements as well as individual reflection and small group / pair work. You will not need to share anything personal that you are not comfortable sharing and no prior experience is needed, just a willingness to take part.
