Group size and eligibility:
This group will comprise of 4-6 participants with Zoë Grace Cozens as facilitator and at least one co-facilitator assisting. This will ensure that each person gets maximum support with a 1:3 facilitation ratio and both space and privacy within which to work. The course includes individual, pairs, triad and whole group interactions and working with paint, clay, fabric, silence, visualisation, stillness, movement, natural resources and indoor and outdoor space. All resources will be provided but bringing your own journal is always a good idea.
Eligibility is very simple. You need to be a human being who has had some relationships in your life! In addition you are open to creating the sort of relationships that give the most mutual satisfaction, without either person having to sacrifice who they are at their core. You can come with or without another person and that person might be a friend, family member, colleague or partner.
