• A growing Devon-wide community of service users, survivors and workers who gather every six to eight weeks, at the turning of the seasons.

• In a safe, informal circle we cook and share food over an open fire in beautiful, healing settings.

• The group welcomes service users who either:

- want to explore a spiritual path as part of their recovery and/or

- who are defining their experience of distress as a spiritual crisis and by doing so, give it deeper personal meaning.

N.B. We have no specific religious affiliation.

Attendees are also invited to bring something that has spiritual meaning for them, that also has a connection with the time of year i.e. a photograph, something from Nature, a poem etc.

The project is run by and for service users with a coordinator to help maintain the smooth running of the project;
The Self-Advocacy Project gives members the opportunity to say what they think about the services they are receiving as well as consulting on the development of services. Membership is open to anyone, living in East Devon, who has had experience of mental health services, whether they wish to be directly involved in the Group or not. It is intended that the Group will meet at least once a month to discuss mental health service issues.
