Here is some feedback from a recent session we ran this springtime. I think you will agree these are big changes and we are so proud to be part of them! I felt the session was really inclusive. I feel more mindful and in the present moment. The process is transferable and “you can do it anywhere”. I feel my wellbeing is supported, and I feel more in control. I understand myself better, I accept myself. It supports my creativity and self-expression which I hadn’t always fully acknowledged. I realise I had a fear of making mistakes, but by being in a group I feel so supported. I feel more physically active. I feel more self-aware and have increased my self-knowledge. I feel more empowered to do things and make changes in my life and in my community. Frequently asked questions What is your refund policy? We can accept cancellations up until 48 hours before we begin. We regret, as we are a small CIC, that we cannot take cancellations via email but ask that you log into Eventbrite to cancel your ticket should it be necessary. Do I need any special equipment? No, you need something to take a photograph on, a valid email address and a strong internet connection so that we can communicate over zoom. You would benefit from downloading an app called www.padlet.com to your device but this is not essential. The extension project is entirely optional. What happens after the week long project is finished? You will be invited into a community project or if you live in North Yorkshire you might like to book a 1:1 session with me. Personalised sessions start at £49:99 per person. Do I have to be a photographer? Absolutely not, we assume no prior experience of photography. Is this like therapy? We are not therapists but the process has a gentle and calming effect upon your wellbeing. We will be engaging in simple tasks to encourage mindfulness. We do ask that you are well and happy to engage in a small group session online. We embody respect in our work and we ask that you do the same. Will you be using my images?
