About this Event

Merry F***'ing Christmas! A laid back, truth speaking Sharing Circle

Want to bust society’s myth of the supposedly Perfect Christmas?

You know it’s not real, yet somehow the pesky conditioning shapes our expectations and pressures around Xmas every year.

Join Village’s owner Louisa and local yoga teacher and author Sarah, to get real about the festive season.

Both a chance to speak openly and explore the challenges of what can be a very tough time of year,

and to listen to the experience of others who may also be saying Fuck No, instead of ho ho ho!

We promise not a John Lewis crimbo vibe in sight, but instead:

A mellow, de-stressing deep rest meditation

Ponder the effects of perfectionism with a reading from Sarah’s book Enough!

Over tea, informal, confidential chat to get your Christmas gripes off your chest (fully embrace Grinch mode if you like)

No judgement

The chance for your feelings to be heard, respected and validated

And a glass of fizz of course


The shop will be open if you want to buy yourself (and MAYBE someone else) a gift.

No xmas party dress code, come as you are and sleigh the myth of the perfect Christmas.

Xox


Confidentiality

Joking aside, the festive season can be very tough for a lot of people. The sharing circle is not group therapy, but rather a confidential, non judgemental, respectful space to discuss and feel heard regarding the pressures of this time of year.

In keeping with good practice around confidentiality and safeguarding, what is shared in circle will not be repeated. Please be aware however that should a person indicate that they are in danger of harm, confidentiality will be broken and the relevant bodies will be informed.

If you are in crisis call 999.
