About the event
On the Edge of All Possibilities
A women’s circle on migration, visibility, belonging and new possibilities
Moving to another country is not just about changing your address; it can also mean rediscovering your identity, your social circle, your professional standing and your place in life.
Sometimes we struggle to express ourselves; sometimes we have to start afresh; and sometimes we feel alone whilst searching for a new direction. So, amidst all these changes, how can we create space for ourselves? How can we become more visible, rebuild our sense of belonging, and discover new possibilities in our lives?
‘On the Edge of All Possibilities’ is a three-hour experiential women’s circle that combines coaching and creative drama, in which women with experience of migration will explore together issues of visibility, loneliness, a sense of belonging and changes in their working and professional lives.
At this gathering, as we explore profound questions about ourselves, we will play, act out, reflect and create together. Our aim is not to find an answer to every question, but to step outside our usual perspectives, ask ourselves new questions and, perhaps, discover possibilities we have not yet realised.
Who is this Circle for?
For all women who wish to view their own story from a different perspective, who are keen to discover the changes in their lives and the possibilities of new beginnings, and who are open to exploring different viewpoints and unleashing their creativity.
You don’t need to have any previous experience of coaching or creative drama. All you need is curiosity and a desire to explore.
