Chopping Club: Cooking Soup and Talking about Grief in collaboration with Chris Alton
Comissioned by At The Library and Chopping Club.
A facilitated conversation about living with loss, whilst workshop participants prepare ingredients for a shared lunch. The workshop allows reflections on about participants experience of living with grief through; prompts, conversation as well as a worksheet containing creative writing activities. The shared activity of making and eating food acts as a ‘softner’ for difficult conversations, and alternative ways of looking at an emotional experience through activity and tactile experience.
In order to facilitate this workshop, we’ve both undertaken specialist training (Mental Health First Aid and Counselling Skills). We have also worked closely with an access consultant to understand how we can facilitate both our own needs, and the needs of participants before and after the sessions.
