LIFE-STAGE Connections in April

Welcome to the playful and the serious. Welcome to the sad and the joyous. This is a chance to connect with others and yourself without judgement. Let's find the inner courage and wisdom to explore intention and purpose as we age.

This month we will be looking at the stories we tell ourselves as we grow older and the limitations we have adopted. Has the internal safety office taken over your life? And is the inner critic stopping you from being creative and having fun.

In the afternoon Brian Davies will be running a cartooning workshop and giving you the chance to be creative. (To me this is both terrifying and exciting.) Brian's cartooning work has been widely published and he is experienced at running cartoonig workshop. So why not expand your boundaries?

The event costs is £25. There will be drinks and snacks provided. Bring your own lunch.

The event is FREE for Life-Stage Members. Membership is open to anyone who has attended a Life-Stage session before.

These sessions run throughout the year and are designed to develop on-going connection and purpose as we age. Each month we explore recurring themes such as courage, vulnerability and wisdom. Over several years Life-Stage has developed a range of engaging activities to support a positive mental attitude. After mid-life , time seems to speed up, so this day is a chance for us to slow down together, to breath, to listen empathically and to share. We use tried and tested ways to explore where we are on the ageing journey and what it is that we want for ourselves and our community It’s a space to let go of what is no longer working in your life so that by the end of the session you can leave with fresh energy and new hope.. Everyone is welcome and all activities are by invitation, so you can simply “pass” if you wish. Life-Stage Connections is not a one-off event -  you can renew your connections and start new dialogues every month.  We look forward to you joining us soon.

Each session is organised  by 3 or 4 members of the Life-Stage team with many years of experience in facilitating group work. Life-Stage events are loosely based  on The Power in Ageing by Adam Duncan
