Exploring Loneliness
This is a brand new course and i’d love you to come and trial it with me. Exploring Loneliness.
Loneliness is a subjective feeling and has nothing to do with how many people we know, how much company we are in each day, how adorable we are, etc. It’s not a personal failing – it’s a fact of how we live.
At various points in our lives we all experience it.
What Will Happen on Exploring Loneliness?
Well, like all my Changing People courses it will be upbeat, uplifting and fun. And I give you my word no role plays or putting women on the spot. You choose what you want to share.
It won’t be a litany of facts and figures either, although I may mention a few in passing. It will be very much focused on you and what you need to look at.
I’ll be following the successful format of RenewYou (get me, blowing my own trumpet), which means we’ll spend the morning gathering information about ourselves, and the afternoon coming up with an individual plan. You can choose to share that plan, or not. You’re in charge.
Format of the Day
If you can arrive by 9.45 so we can grab a drink and get comfortable. Depending on final numbers we’ll do the introductions in small groups or pairs.
It’s always helpful for me to know what people are looking for from the day. By all means contact me via email to discuss your individual situation mailto:jane@changingpeople.co.uk and see if you think this is suitable for you. No high sales pressure; I’m rubbish at it. I genuinely only want you to come if it’s right for you.
Individual Reflection
During the day you will have time for individual reflection, as well as working in pairs or small groups. I’ll be led by you, but I plan to do some work around whether you’re intravert or extravert (Carl Jung’s spellings) and what impact if any that has on you.
We’ll also reflect on what kind of life you are looking for, what it would mean if you weren’t lonely. We will be using the principles of Appreciative Inquiry . I love it because it’s a good way to reflect without getting caught up in a pity party.
And At The End…
My aim is to send you away feeling lighter of step, maybe having made a new friend or two, and with an idea of just what to do to make life feel a bit better for you. And a plan.
Gender And Loneliness
There doesn’t seem to be a huge gender difference in who experiences loneliness, although women report it slightly more often. However, as in so many things, women respond differently to loneliness and their potential solutions are different. Which is why I’m running this as a woman only course. It will be a very safe space for everyone.
Cost Of Exploring Loneliness
Because this is so new, I only want to cover my costs so for this course I am only charging £25 per person. Subsequent courses will be around £99 per person. Bring your own lunch and I’ll provide tea, coffee, herbals.
Venue,Time & Cost of ‘Exploring Loneliness’
The venue will be in Priston, near Bath, at the village hall. It has its own wee car park. The date is Tuesday November 21st, 2023.

It’s small enough so if we are only a few we won’t feel lost but large enough to hold more if there is a lot of interest. We’ll start at 10am and finish at 3pm.
