Connection Sessions

Connection Sessions offer you a gentle introduction to group work and welcome you into a supportive growth-focused community.

Group connection is essential for our well-being and in recovery these collective spaces can be a game-changer.

Hearing otherā€™s stores safely, having the opportunity to be seen, heard and held in acceptance of your experience can be a potent complement to individual psychotherapy.

You are welcome to share or observe at your own pace, we are always led by your readiness and sense of safety.

Connection Sessions can be joined in person or online. They run for 90 minutes on themes inspired by our communitiesā€™ needs and reflections. Handouts and writings on these themes are provided.

The session is structured with space for conversion, journaling, guided meditation and mindfulness practices.

As a regular attendee at Connection Sessions I have benefitted immensely from the experience. The focus on sharing and rewriting our own stories as we grapple with challenges, has really helped me to gain a better understanding of why I became unwell and how I should go about the complex nonlinear journey of recovery.

The variety of topics and issues that are explored, discussed and contemplated in Connection Sessions have helped me to broaden my understanding of where my eating disorder originated and have given me the tools to recognise and face challenges in my daily life, and not just limited to my eating disordered experiences. I have been able to question the world around me and how I think about this world in ways that have supported my recovery journey.

I attended connection sessions at the start of my recovery and have continued to attend as they help me to remember why I chose recovery in the first place. Connection Sessions are a wonderful space of creativity, meditation, discussion, laughter, tears, acknowledgement and solace. I have attended both in person and online , finding both equally beneficial, and have always learned something new and interesting about myself or the world from each session.

The resources shared and suggested at Connection Sessions are amazing and they really speak to and help me come to terms with recovery. The book recommendations, inspirational quotes, scientific findings and studies, anecdotal observations, creative representations all provide a holistic way of understanding who we are and how we function. While our stories are shared and expressed throughĀ  rituals - like journaling, meditation, artistic expression, witnessing transitions and group discussions - all of whichĀ  when brought together have allowed me to access helpful coping strategies and begin to unravel what initially was a very confusing and terrifying condition. This holistic approach to recovery has helped me heal from the inside out.
