Still some space to join us for this on Tuesday!

27/05/2026

Our next session is Tue 9 June, we’ll be welcoming Remi () as our guest facilitator - a qualified therapist who works with creative, ancestral, and bodily ways of knowing.

We’ll focus on exploring our relationship to care creatively & as a form of resistance. How do we care for ourselves creatively? How do we care for others? Whether you feel like you have a good routine and relationship to care, or you’re at the beginning of this journey, we invite you to come & explore this together, in a space held by Remi & the Bechdel Theatre team.

These sessions are interactive, informal & community-focused, with space for making & building connections between each other - some sessions may involve getting stuck into practical activities (no previous skills or experience required!).

Expect:
🤗 A space to socialise and meet others interested in care, creativity and resistance.
🎨 Use different creative methods (e.g writing, drawing, movement, drama) to explore care.
😌 To connect to the breathe and body, exploring somatics and grounding techniques.
🗣️ To discuss and explore how we care for ourselves & each other within systems of oppression.

Note: This session was rescheduled from earlier in the programme.
