A Heart to Listen (formally journaling)
This group is a safe place to share our story and own it. As a group we endeavour to offer quality listening to each other in order to bring healing where it's needed. Our aim, as always, is to love ourselves better in order to love others better. Currently using Kristin Neff's book: Self Compassion: The Proven Power of Being Kind to Yourself to support our discussion and help us in our journey.
