🤔Off the back of my previous post, and feedback across platforms I've set up 2 sessions to support creative practitioners as lockdown eases.

😃Free to attend for North East based practitioners in the cultural sector.

The registration form is below

The sessions are:

👉Supporting ourselves - understanding our own anxious thoughts about lockdown easing and how to safeguard ourselves returning to practice

👉Supporting others - how to create a safe space/ manage conversations and boundaries in participatory settings

@KathMitchell84 would facilitate and has a background including volunteering with Samaritans, Mental Health First Aider, and both supporting and delivering mental health workshops in a few different sectors

If interested, DM, or comment below

We've been quiet. (Lockdown has been A LOT)

....but we'd like to do a thing -- anyone interested?

[K Mitchell 💚 @KathMitchell84]

Wondering how freelancers/practitioners/individuals in culture would feel about a peer support network night to have an open, supported discussion about lockdown easing, delivering creative activity again, and trouble shooting challenges.......

Thoughts, anyone?

We were shared this beautiful project by @DallasMuseumArt (not NorthEast, or even UK based, but it was too lovely not share it).

If you're wondering what lockdown sounds like around the globe, take a peak, and add your own sounds to the project 💚
