Finding me again
We asked one of our newest learners, Lynda about what she had ‘recovered’ from attending the College. This is what she had to say…
“I arrived at the Recovery and Wellbeing College emotional, bewildered and lost. Unable to find direction after suffering the loss of my partner a year ago. I was greeted by friendly faces ready to listen and encourage me to “have a go” and take the first steps to rediscover what used to be “me”!
Attending their courses, whether one-off sessions or longer courses lasting several weeks, has re-awakened my past interests in the natural world and the importance of being creative and its immersive power. It has begun to heal the grieving, damaged parts of me. I realise I am changed forever, but unbroken.
The Recovery and Wellbeing College, its dedicated staff and excellent course facilitators, have enabled me to get back the power within. I believe we all possess the ability to heal ourselves through mindfulness, meditation and creativity. This new family, a safe and secure environment, has given me the gift of self-healing I thought I had lost. A truly remarkable place where I can find “me” again, sending me on a life journey that has just begun again. Thankyou.”
