Our Stories, On Rotation: Mental Health Narratives

About the Programme:
Our Stories, On Rotation returns with an intimate, reflective afternoon where books, people and conversations move—this time centring mental health narratives that hold space for vulnerability, care and open sharing.
This gathering invites you to rotate among discussion tables, each offering a short reading and conversation prompt drawn from a book that speaks to lived experiences of mental health—including struggles, healing and resilience. With activities for decompression alongside, a panel discussion will round out the programme 👂
Held at Bricolage, our lovely venue sponsor and a space dedicated to responsible dining, the ticket includes a snack and drink specially curated for their mood-and stress-regulating properties:

• 🍰 Maca root polenta cake with cordycep ragout
• ☕ Tulsi (holy basil) and honey warm tea!
  

💬 From navigating grief, caregiving and eating disorders, to rich visual and literary responses to emotional wellbeing and mental illness—we’ll sit with stories that ask what it means to cope, to speak and to be heard. Titles on rotation will include:

– To the Last Gram (Difference Engine)

– How Are You Feeling? A Comics Anthology (Difference Engine)

– Patient History (Ethos Books)

– The Sound of SCH (Ethos Books)

🎙️The afternoon will also feature a panel discussion with Danielle Lim, author of The Sound of SCH, and Griselda Gabriele, illustrator of Bearing Witness (from How Are You Feeling? A Comics Anthology ), as they reflect on experiences of care for self and others.
About the venue sponsor:

Guided by principles of circularity and responsible dining, they design plant-forward menus that prioritise whole ingredients, surplus produce, and full-utilisation cooking.
