Dungeons & Dragons

Sam - "Dungeon Master" |
"DnD was a big part of my own personal recovery. Not only is it a lot of fun but it allows you to connect with others and just be yourself, even though you're playing as a different character.
One of the things I absolutely love about DnD is the ability to explore different personalities. I can be a really quiet person in real life but in DnD I love playing loud and charismatic characters. It gives you an opportunity to experiment and learn new social skills in a safe place. If your character can advocate for themselves when discussing who gets what loot or by asking "should we attack that dragon"?...then there is nothing stopping you from using these skills in your own life."

"What I enjoy most about Connect2U is how everyone coming along are connecting in a very organic way. The fluid structure of the meetings allows conversations to feel more natural than other groups. It allows us to not only provide our participants with useful tools for navigating every day life, but model how to employ them and share with others."

Nurture
A warm hug for your Nervous System
|
Take a deep dive into the science of our bodies and how they interact with stress and trauma. This interactive workshop is an exploration of our minds and bodies and how they naturally rise and fall with our day to day life. Most importantly this Trauma Informed workshop provides insight into how we can befriend our mental health and emotional experiences as we help ourselves through the ups and downs of life.
1. What is your Nervous System? 2. How does it affect your daily life? 3. How do you befriend and Nurture your Nervous System? |

I am passionate about this sharing because learning these tools played such a tremendous part in my own post traumatic growth and PTSD recovery journey. Its also worked beautifully for the people I have supported in my career as a worker in the Trauma Space. These tools and this information comes from my education, my work, my lived experience and more, so it is tried and tested by myself and the people I have supported and we have found such resolution in the learnings.
