This is a guided support and dialogue group that uses guided mindfulness meditation and group conversation as a basis for stress recovery and improving relaxation and wellbeing. Using a set of easy-to-learn practices, we will create our own safe space and a community where participants are welcome to share and listen to each other’s thinking, stories and experiences.

• Themed sessions on various topics like challenges, gratitude and inspiration.
• Share your own and hear about other people’s experiences.
• No previous experience in groups necessary and no obligations to join in.
• Respond rather than react to stress.
• Cultivate self-awareness and empowerment.
• Explore your identity in relation with autism.
