We are thrilled to announce that our very first in-person workshops and lectures will take place at the welcoming RemEDIEs of Hythe. This incredible venue, with its cosy and characterful charm, provides the perfect setting for our training sessions. Thanks to the generosity of the owners, who have kindly offered us the space free of charge, we’re able to focus entirely on delivering a meaningful and engaging experience. We’re excited to bring our community together in such an inspiring environment, ideal for learning, reflection, and growth.
