PictureCelebrating 10 years of Capacitar Scotland with Pat in 2018

Fàilte!  
        Over the past 13 years, nearly 200 people across Scotland have done the training with founder Dr Pat Cane. We use this training regularly for our own personal well-being and spiritual nourishment. But in the spirit of 'healing ourselves - healing our world' many of us also offer well-being sessions in our local communities: in special schools for children with autism; with survivors of domestic abuse and rape; with refugees and people seeking asylum; with people living with mental health problems; in hospices and with people living with cancer and other life-threatening diseases; with midwives and pregnant mums; with carers; with adults with severe learning difficulties; in spiritual direction and on spiritual retreats; and in universities.
        We send out a regular newsletter (sign up if you would like to receive it) which provides information of local sessions, taster days and training.  Capacitar International has a dedicated YouTube Channel with Pat Cane (and others) demonstrating many of the practices.  
            A current focus of the global work is supporting young climate activists, and a new manual is available: "Empowering Strength & Resilience: Capacitar Self-Care Practices to Accompany Youth & Other Climate Activists in Our Climate Emergency" by Pat Cane and Sharon Duggan.  If you would like a copy, please fill out the Scotland Contact Form.
                Capacitar  Scotland has joined with the Queens Nurses Institute Scotland (QNIS) and COPE Scotland on a project funded by a grant from the COVID-19 Health Care Support Appeal.  It is enabling us to offer the foundation training to 24 more Queens Nurses.  This began in November 2021 and will be completed in May 2022.  A Wellbeing Resource Booklet has been put together and is downloadable here.  During the lockdown for Covid-19 QNIS put together this most inspirational Leadership Dance, including Queens Nurses across the Lowlands, Highlands and Island of Scotland... you cannot help smiling at the highland cows joining in!

"In my current post, as a teacher of autistic teenagers I have used Capacitar every week as part of the mental health and wellbeing curriculum. Simple holds (halo, head, shoulders and crown) and breath work have a very calming influence on the young people and staff."
