Dr. Jill Singer’s Ongoing Women’s Workshops

Jill is currently running two women’s workshops. They are a combination of therapy and personal growth.

The first is held monthly on Sundays from 10.00–17.00 (although members gather at 09.45 for refreshments).

The second is held bi-monthy, on a Saturday also from 10.00–17.00 (although members gather at 09.45 for refreshments).

People bring one dish to share for a pot-luck lunch

There are a maximum of eight members and the group enjoy a variety of different group activities including dreams, art, drama, stories and much more. They then have time to do personal work.

Retreats

Dr. Allison Bakari Singer’s thrice yearly retreats

Saturday 21st to Sunday 22nd September ’24: Connecting with the Earth: Engaging with Nature to Resource the Self

Venue: Middlethorpe Hall Hotel and Spa, York

During this weekend retreat we will draw on and integrate Creative Arts approaches to Psychotherapy, Yoga and Anthropology to explore our relationship with nature and the natural world; and the meaning they might have for us.

Through engagement with nature, we will consider it’s potential as a resource for discovering and deepening our understanding of ourselves, our relationships with others, and our relationships with the wider world around us.

Reflection on imagery about nature found in stories, visual art, songs, dances, and music from popular and classical culture from the UK and around the world will provide a springboard for our journey. Dance, movement, story, writing, music, singing, visual art, and the natural environment will be used as media of exploration.

Weather permitting, we will work outside in the beautiful National Trust gardens at Middlethorpe Hall Hotel and Spa. No prior experience is necessary.

• The cost is: £285 for the two days which includes lunch, refreshments and use of the Spa facilities and National Trust Gardens
• Accommodation is available at the hotel for an additional cost
