Yesterday we had our planning meeting for the East Anglian S:VOX group and I got very excited (perhaps a little over excited!) by all the possibilities and the sheer joy and amazement that all this really is happening. We had two new people come to their first meeting and a lovely core group who are creating sepcial plans for our big Spring Event in February (see events pages.)
We talked and shared and laughed and debated and rushed and ate and pondered and planned lovely things like dressing up and drama and creative wrtiting and relaxation workshops. Now all we need is lots of people to come so please spread the word!
Last week I participated in a profoundly deep training weekend on trauma, abuse and dissociation run by Wellspring for TAG - Trauma and Abuse Group. It was so affirming to be with lots of people - counsellors, carers and some survivors -who are dedicating big chunks of their lives to healing for people who have experienced traus or abuse. I gained lots of ideas, more of these in future posts. Most exciting was sharing the dream for a special healing centre with someone who has already seriously explored venues, funding etc. and realising it all becomes possible if you make links with the right partners.
Setting up S:VOX has often seemed like chasing dreams and now I feel I am catching some of mine - what a joy and privilege! What are your dreams for your life, S:VOX, the world?
