Eighth Collective: PLAY

Eighth: PLAY is part of our four-part workshop series - Finding Home - for women and non-binary survivors of abuse and harassment, to work through the tricky stuff that comes with survival. In each workshop, we’ll be working with one of our four interconnected themes for the Finding Home series: Trust, Play, Rest and Freedom.

We use Muay Thai, Yoga, Breath-work, and Somatic Exercises because we know from experience that trauma affects your body as well as your mind. Our workshops are led by an incredible team of experienced teachers and practitioners, and at the end of every session, we come together for a women’s circle to share reflections, solidarity and support.

We know this stuff is hard and everyone’s healing is on a different timeline, so it’s important to say that our workshops aren’t a replacement for therapy or all the crucial care that needs to happen when you’re right in the eye of the storm – we strongly recommend that you contact one of the excellent front-line support services below as your first port of call. And, when the dust settles and you’re ready, Eighth Collective is here.
