🚺Today is International Eliminating Violence Against Women Day. In line with our 'Women in Mind' project, a few of our practitioners visited local group Verd de gris arts to take part in their 'One Voice' workshop🌱.
Led by the wonderful Sharon, the group of ladies come together each Friday to write, sing and put together creative performances. It was brilliant to be welcomed and included with such open arms, whilst sharing biscuits, laughter and a few tears. If you are looking for a space to truly be yourself whilst feeling the power and tenderness of other women, Verd de Gris maybe for you.
Though we can't share all the details of what these lovely ladies are working on, we'll leave you with a fragment of the poem that anchored the workshop✍️
'The memory of a lost conversation?
A coffee cup that holds the perfect warmth?
A connection, without fear or judgment?
The smell of a misty autumn day?
A table of food, shared with conversation and laughter?
A smile from a stranger?
These moments,
Seen, gathered, held close.'
