🌾 Join us on Sunday, 31 May, from 17:00 to 19:00 for a gathering created in solidarity and care for Iranian and Lebanese communities and those close to them. Together we will learn about the complex nature of our feelings with the help of simple yet creative tools. This is a collaborative exploration that will be co-created and all feelings are welcome.

This gathering is meant to facilitate care and hold emotional space in light of recent Zionist-American aggression on Lebanon and Iran. Please note that this event is organised specifically for people from SWANA (Southwest Asia and North Africa). This space is anti-zionist, anti-racist and against all foreign intervention.

👥 The session will be guided by Lina and Farida, both therapists from Egypt with years of experience working creatively with the therapeutic relationship through many modalities.

👤 Lina has a collaborative approach with her clients based on exploring together and deepening trust in oneself, focusing on self-acceptance, integration and embodiment. Through her ongoing journey decolonizing therapy, Lina has discovered a deep interest in somatics and working with the body. She believes that all feelings are communication that needs to be heard and integrated.

👤 Farida has a collaborative approach with her clients believing that each person has the capacity to find answers within themselves. She tries to create space for people to reconnect with their imagination and playfulness. Farida considers mental health to be deeply political, making decolonization of the field and its practices an ongoing process for her.

🗣️ Main language: English, with translation available in Farsi and Arabic.

🕛 Time: 17:00 - 19:00
