Been dancing on/off since I was 9 and it's a continuous journey of passion, learning and self-compassion. Last year I was diagnosed with ME/CFS - the diagnose hasn't changed how much pain and fatigue I experience but it has changed how I approach it. I still have big cries, grumpy days and deep despair but I recover more quickly emotionally and feel more accepting towards the constant prioritising and readjusting I have to do. This spring I did my first ever ballet exam. In the 6 weeks up to the exam I didn't do much else but practice 3 times a week. It was weird but so worth it.I passed with merit which felt good considering how overwhelmed and anxious I was at the exam. I decided to get myself a memento and I went with a watch I've been looking at for years and years. It has several personal symbolic meanings and I already treasure it. The lovely @element_jewellery helped get it to me and had it engraved at our local indoor market. I'm well chuffed! #livinglifegently #lovelocal #skagen #takeyourtime #dontbelievethehype #norush #dancepassion #inclusivedance #balletforadults #ME #CFS #pain #fatigue
Events and workshops around experiences of hearing voices in Hebden Bridge and London in September! #hearingvoices #compassionforvoices #normalising #communitydevelopment #workshops #events #training #destigmatising #hebdenbridge #london
#Repost @openmindedtraining ・・・ Upcoming 2-day workshop about findings ways to talk with voices you or somebody else hear. Destigmatising and demystifying hearing voices and similar experiences by developing more understanding and compassion. When we feel overwhelmed and scared of an experience it can be really helpful if the community around us doesn't panic but is up for helping us find ways forward. #hearingvoices #livingwithvoices #hebdenbridge #workshop #mentalhealth #compassion #communication

Programme for this year's Pushing Up Daisies is out! I'm getting the PUD fever again and can't wait to see it all unfolding. Conversations, performances, sharing information, getting creative together and building a community where we feel okay to talk about death and dying and all the stuff that comes with it. #pushinguptod #pushingupdaisiesfestival #todmorden #calderdale #westyorkshire #bordertown #compassionatecommunities Go to the website to see the whole thing http://www.pushingupdaisies.org/uploads/7/3/8/3/73837981/pud_2019_programme_final_web.pdf
