I love them! We all laughed and cried our way through the sessions and learned a lot. If you are thinking of attending then do so! You won’t regret it!’‘I have learned so much, more than I ever expected, and I’ve come away with an amazing group of friends who just ‘get it’'100%, I am in a very different place on my journey now and feel a glimmer of hope for mine and my families future and knowing that it will be hard but we are not alone''Amazing hosts and wonderful Mum's who attended, the feeling of ultimate acceptance and understanding from all''What would I say to others? DO IT!!!! I have recommended this group to other parents that I know. I have gained so much from this and am so sad to see it end.''I would highly recommend the nurture group to help you feel more connected, understand all your complex emotions are valued and feel more control of the situation and your response to it.''Please do a Murmurations group...it's invaluable. It has helped make my considerable load feel a bit lighter.'Book Your SpaceSign up if you would like to become part of a small group with others going through similar experiences, so that you can connect, share, pour out all the feelings, and start making sense and wisdom on this new and often unknown path.Suggested DonationsTo keep these courses running, the suggested donation is £50 for the course.
