capacitar in scotland
Fàilte!
Capacitar in Scotland celebrated its 10th Anniversary in 2018. Over 125 people throughout Scotland have done the training with Pat Cane, and now nourish themselves regularly with some of the practices. Many of them also offer well-being sessions in their 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 regular local sessions, taster days and training. Or if you would like someone to come and do a Capacitar session at your workplace or church or community centre, please do get in touch on the ‘Contact Page’ and we will liaise with you to help facilitate this. |
"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." |
