Hi everyone, Having just completed the beginners workshop this wknd I feel compelled to firstly thank all those involved (course leaders and fellow delegates) and also to wholeheartedly encourage anyone teetering on the brink of booking a future event to definately get themselves along. I was quite apprehensive for the last few days leading upto going but I'm so glad I went through with it. For the first time ever I was able to discuss openly within a group my experiences and found so much acceptance and empathy from the others. For me it was a liberating and very encouraging experience. Nothing was required of me that fell outside of my comfort zones and only I decided how far to push myself in the excercises. Perhaps most importantly of all I met some terrific new friends whom I shall enjoy very much keeping in touch with and sharing our ongoing progress and as such no longer feel alone to cope with this. Cheers guys & gals
