The start!

Hello! So this is my first blog for Vital Regeneration! I'll fill you in on my project and my aspirations for it. My great joy is all forms of therapeutic healing methods. I would really love to explore how such methods can be made accessible to young people in the community. Whilst I was studying, I found counselling sessions absolutely invaluable. I'll be researching what's already available in the local community, then I hope to create a very interactive and accessible online resource.

My first attempt was to go around lots of community centres myself. This was quite fun but not particularly effective! I had a lovely day in the area of Camden and Primrose Hill, chatting with the locals about their community centres and what they have to offer for them. (WONDERFUL Russian coffee!) But after the day was over I decided I could do my research in a quicker and more far reaching manner! So today I have been writing letters and e-mails :-) . I will see what comes back and go from there!

Today's specialist area for me has been counselling. This will keep me busy for tomorrow as well I expect. Then I'll move into another field of my choice!

I read a wonderful quote yesterday and I really feel it clarifies why I'm motivated to join this project:

'Not only must the most privileged feel they are the equals of the most disadvantaged, but the most disadvantaged must feel as well that something within them makes them equal to the greatest sages and geniuses.'

So that's my food for thought :-) . Check in again tomorrow XX
