Being Autistic and Being ADHD
A safe space where you can explore what it is to be neurodivergent with other neurodivergent adults.
These courses are a safe space where neurodivergent adults can explore Autism or ADHD with others. There is also plenty of opportunity to explore mindful creative crafts. They cover a range of topics:
BEING AUTISTIC:
Topics including autistic identity, masking, stimming, overwhelm, burnout, relationships, sensory processing differences, executive functioning, legal rights and co-occurring conditions.
BEING ADHD:
Topics such as the diversity of ADHD traits, managing fluctuating moods, sensory differences, focus and attention, crossovers with other conditions and exploring ADHD strengths and creative thinking.
The aim of these courses is to increase knowledge and understanding. They focus on the positives helping you to develop a range of coping skills and strategies. Each session takes place on our outdoor site and includes lunch cooked in our woodland kitchen. We have a beautiful yurt which provides a safe quiet space in which to gather. There are a range of craft activities on offer to supplement the teaching and discussion elements. It is a space to reflect, create, learn and share, but most of all a space where autistic and/or ADHD adults can be their authentic selves.
The courses run over 10 or 12 sessions, alternately 4 times per year. Sessions run on a Monday from 10am-2pm. Numbers are limited to 8-10 participants per course and participants need to be able to commit to attending the whole course. The courses are fully funded (so you don't have to pay).

BEING ADHD - MONDAY DECEMBER 2ND TO MONDAY FEBRUARY 17TH
'I have become more self-aware because I am able to understand myself better and no longer feel like I am wrong, broken or have something wrong with me that needs “fixing”. I am actually normal for a neurodivergent individual and I am not crazy or losing my mind, I do think and function differently to other people but I am not alone in my experiences.'
