Read and Write Group
Marianna writes: “The Write & Read group meets this coming Tuesday 10th June in the Common Room, 14:00 for 14:15. All writers or literature enthusiasts welcome to attend.”
“Talking about Compassion” — a link to the “People So Bold” podcast in which one of our members, Aisha Madha, a professional trainer, is interviewed by Lizzie Kingston-Harrison
In the latest People So Bold podcast, Lizzie Kingston-Harrison (our GA Congregational Connections lead) talks to Aisha Madha, a professional trainer (and member of Cambridge Unitarians) about self-compassion, reminding us that “the more self-compassionate you are, the more compassionate you are”. That is an important message that often gets lost, especially when we are feeling overwhelmed by current events.
