Safe-space Well-being invites you to connect, uplift and inspire!
Now, more than ever, is the need to unite, connect and support each other with our offerings to the world if we want to see healing and positive change.
The intention for this meeting is for counsellors, therapists, well-being practitioners, mental health workers, change-makers, entrepreneurs and creatives to give and receive support and inspiration; to share our work, gifts, talents and ideas in a safe, nurturing, encouraging, playful space.
This space is held by experienced therapist and group facilitator, Philippa Aspey.
With a background in humanities, Philippa now practices as a Psychotherapist/counsellor and therapeutic workshop facilitator.
She is also a keen community builder, singer, musician, writer and artist, and believe that prioritising our healing, creativity, sustainability and developing community is the way for humanity to not just survive, but to THRIVE!
To co- create a more harmonious world for ourselves and for future generations that follow in our footsteps.
