Cheryl from CAB Inspirational delivered nature-based therapy to the group at Gatis Community Space this weekend.
It was a memorable day for all. Starting with birthday celebrations for Cheryl where everyone came together to share cake and kind wishes.
The group came together to heal within the safe space provided by Gatis Community Space and a deep discussion was had regarding the personal experiences of gender based violence.
Talking is a powerful therapy and releasing emotions safely is a vital part of healing. It offered the group an understanding of coping mechanisms and a sense of community and empowerment.
Cheryl guided the group through nature-based therapy that connected each member to the beautiful surroundings at Gatis Community Space where they could experience whop they naturally are and to celebrate each individual.
The exercise connected each of the five senses to emotions and feelings as the group further explored the beauty of nature which instilled empowerment and a feeling of calmness within the "here and now".
The session ended on a positive note by the delivery of poetry inspired by nature and emotions. Emotions were certainly felt during the readings of poetry by talented members of the group.
