Heart and Soul Group
Why a Heart and Soul group?
We are all being challenged to wake up and confront our destructive patterns of behaviour and find creative and soulful solutions to the world-wide crisis that both peak-oil and environmental changes are bringing.
The Heart and Soul group, which we're calling Meetings on the Edge, will explore our human responses to change, including our hopelessness, despair, anger and frustration, fear, and even downright terror.
Unless we can face these feelings within ourselves and find a way to transform them, we will not be as effective as we could be.
Group Aims
Some of the aims of the group are as follows:
- Helping each other manage change
- To support the rest of Transition Leicester's work.
- To help us reconnect with what has value and meaning for us as human beings.
- To help us reconnect with the natural world and sustain a balanced way of living.
- Maintaining hope and purpose when things are tough
- Supporting people to not feel alone with their feelings
- Sharing and encouraging heartening possibilities
- Sharing and valuing personal strengths.
- Supporting creative & innovative ideas
- Having speakers/workshops/events that explore these issues.
- Dealing with conflict/competition/fear and power issues.
