Second Friday of the Month Zoom – April 10th
On April 10th at 11am we are due to have Vidyamala Burch OBE deliver a session for us.
From her website “Vidyamala Burch OBE is a mindfulness and compassion teacher, speaker, coach and award-winning author.
Her evidence-based Mindfulness-based Pain & Illness Management (MBPM) approach has reached over 100,000 people around the world and is recognised by health boards globally.
Through her work, she hopes to empower those living with pain or difficulty to reclaim their lives.”
I asked her to do a session for us not so much giving us a sample of her mindfulness because people can access that on many different platforms but rather for her to share about her own personal journey and how it could potentially inspire and empower others. A link will be added nearer the time.
Face to Face Social – Cheadle Starbucks ( on Cheadle High Street) Tuesday 21st April
We are returning to Cheadle Starbucks for the face to face social this month. We still have a decent amount of credit on our Starbucks card so can buy people drinks. Everyone is welcome and it is a chance to catch up. This event is aimed at people with ME/CFS and Long Covid as well as their carers. If you are planning on coming it is helpful if you can let us know as then we will know to look out for you and try to make sure we have enough chairs etc.
Online Zoom Social – TBC but this is likely to be Tuesday 28th April – this will be the same link as the 2nd Friday of the Month session. Probably it will be about 8pm but this is TBC.
Online Bonus Session – Catherine Annis Friday 24th Time TBC activity TBC but probably Yoga Nidra
In addition to these events we might have an event to update people of the situation with NHS services for ME/CFS and Long Covid. We hope that we will know enough and that the plans will be approved to justify us having this event. We are also running ACT sessions for an existing group of people that are running March – April but those wont be suitable for new people.
