Groups

Apologies: groups temporaily suspended until suitable accommodation arranged.

We were starting a student poetry group in October 2009.

Read it, write it, speak it, say it, sing it!

BBC Poetry

The Scottish Poetry Library

poetrysociety

Reading poets or writing our own poetry. Using our own words and the language of the ground of our being. Poetry is a powerful way of letting our hearts speak and being heard in the silence of an unhearing world.

If you have any poems written by yourself or that you have read and enjoyed please let us know and we will start a collection of them here.

More information coming soon. Contact Nicola for details: 0141 273 1449

Healing

I am not a mechanism, an assembly
of various sections.
And it is not because the mechanism
is working wrongly, that I am ill.
I am ill because of wounds to the
Soul, to the deep emotional self.
And the wounds to the Soul take a
long time, only time can help.
And patience, and a certain
difficult repentance, long
difficult repentance, realization
of life’s mistake, and the freeing of oneself
from the endless repetition of the mistake
which mankind at large has chosen to sanctify.

D. H. Lawrence

Relaxation for Student Groups on request

'I would just like to say thank you for coming along last night and delivering the relaxation workshop. Everyone benefitted from the session and you gave us some useful techniques to practice on our own. Our volunteers gave good positive feedback in their evaluation sheets. They all rated the session good/excellent and some of the other words that best described their feelings about the session were: interesting, valuable, motivating, refreshing, well guided and presented.
