the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting—
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things”

Another Mindful Photography UK workshop delivered for IDAS (Independent Domestic Abuse Services) ✔️ ❤️ ✔️

It was wonderful to spend time with like minded change makers today at the IDAS staff conference where over two hundred staff and volunteers gathered to challenge connect and create 🎨

In just a short visit I could feel the energy as I had conversations with women who are supporting survivors of domestic abuse across Yorkshire.

We work with many survivors of domestic abuse through our various projects and it was great to have the opportunity to spread the word even further today.

We will be sending our Five Days in Between project cards to the staff and volunteers we spoke to today and hope that it helps connect even more people in need. ❤️

We completed our Women in York project yesterday 🌈 the bringing together of women across York who wanted to support their well-being through

There were MANY wonderful stories and quotes which we are just reading through and coordinating ready to feed back to our funder Two Ridings Community Foundation … watch this space

This moment below was one of my highlights - the second one of our beautiful women pulled out a bag of hand knitted octopuses 🐙 and gave each woman one to take home ❤️

This is true friendship and connection 🌷

There was then some discussion as to the plural of the aforementioned water based creature …. So I searched it online !!

“The most accepted plural of octopus is octopuses, though octopi is also widely used and considered acceptable in English. A third, less common plural is octopodes, derived from the word's Greek origins.”

Everyday is a school day …..

Our next women’s event in York is on the 19th November and is sold out but keep checking back for updates as spaces do become available
