Yesterday I was enthusing to a friend about the "Breathe Easy" groups, and it's occurred to me I should enthuse here too!
"Do you enjoy going out and socialising, but feel cautious since the COVID-19 pandemic? Are you avoiding crowded and indoor venues? You are not alone! ...
"Breathe Easy Sheffield and Breathe Easy London are both small community groups hosting regular COVID-safer socials and other one-off events."
Recently I joined in for an online "watch the same event and then have a chat" with some folks from the Sheffield group, and enjoyed it. They also do in-person events about once a month, I just haven't been to one (yet) as it's out of town for me. Great to be able to swop useful info as well.

"Nottingham Against Transphobia hold die-in in city centre"
"... to demand justice from the Labour government and the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), and show the general public the stark reality trans people are currently facing. ...
"The demonstration in Nottingham saw dozens of participations carry out a die-in where they lay silently on the ground as the sound of a steady heartbeat played from a loud speaker. One attendee was dressed as the Grim Reaper and wore a mask plastered with the face of prime minister Keir Starmer, standing ominously amongst the participants on the floor."

"In these sessions, Nkem will offer an introduction to the Resilience Toolkit, focusing on embodied self-awareness as a foundation for liberatory relational and collective work. ...
"Together, participants will practise real-time regulation tools that harness the body’s innate biology to settle overactive and pdetrimental responses – reclaiming energy, creative flexibility, and connection to ourselves, one another, and our shared liberation. ...
"Masking is mandatory - we will have some spare masks available at the venue. Full COVID policy will be shared via email once you have registered."

Anyone working in #hospice care in the UK, this might be of interest: pilot courses for teams of 6 to 12 people, on how to use "Clean Language" in conversations about end-of-life care.
1 day in-person, or 2 x half a day if online. CPD certificate.
"Clean Language" is about how you can talk with people and listen to people without accidentally bringing in your own baggage when you didn't mean to.
This skill can help you reach clearer/deeper understanding of other people's worlds. And it can mean you're less likely to set off unnecessary disagreements, so that conversations go more smoothly.
Pilot aimed at South West, Yorkshire & North East. I asked Judy why those areas in particular, and she said those are areas where they're building up "clusters of expertise", but actually it could be any UK end-of-life group.
(I slightly know Judy from having been to a little community event of hers about Clean Language in healthcare. And we have colleagues in common.)
