CODEPENDENCY DROP IN GROUP

Codependency is an online group where women can come together in a safe environment to learn what codependency is and how it has affected their lives in an unhealthy way.  We learn tools and techniques to help us change our thoughts and behaviours and be able to live a more authentic life. It's learning to make ourselves a priority in our own lives. 

WOMANS TALKING CIRCLES:

The Talking Circle is based on the Indigenous tradition.   Here, everyone is equal, everyone belongs.  We create a safe, non-judgemental environment for individuals to be able to share their points of view with what they are going through in life.  Allows for us to listen and respect the views of others, and an ability to connect to one another.   

 

Talking Circle originated with First Nations leaders - the process was used to ensure that all leaders in the tribal council were heard, and that those who were speaking were not interrupted.  Usually, the Chief would initiate the conversation, with other members responding and sharing their perceptions and opinions of the topic under discussion.
