Please find below details of our regular meetings and groups and other occasional events
Regular monthly meetings
There are three meetings each month:
- A New Practitioners' meeting in Hove on the first Saturday of each month at New Road Psychotherapy Centre, Hove, from 10am till 12noon; to book your place for the next meeting on 7th September, please click here. (Please note: there will be no meeting in August.)
- A walking meeting from 10am on the second Saturday of each month, starting from the Brighton Nature Reserve car park off Warren Road, Woodingdean (BN2 6DT) - see map. Please, however, see note below.
- A conventional, in-person meeting from 9:30am to 12:30pm, on the third Saturday of each month, at the Friends' Meeting House, Ship Street, Brighton BN1 1AF.
For some time this meeting has been very poorly attended. We have therefore decided, with regret, to close the meeting at the end of the year.
The last meeting will be on 21stDecember 2024.
The next meeting will be on 17th August.
If you feel strongly that you do not want this meeting to close, then the only way to save it will be to come to the meeting during these final months.
The meeting will be transferring from Room 3 to Room 6 for the remaining few months. Room 6 is on the 1st floor at the end of the corridor. The room number will in any case be indicated on the whiteboard which is next to the Reception desk.
Please also take a look at further details in each month's newsletter.
- The next New Practitioners' meeting will be on 7th September. The cost is £7. To book your place please click here. For further details please contact Jenn Payne-Gregory
(Please note: there will be no meeting in August.)
- The next walking meeting is on 10th August.
- The next regular in-person meeting is on 17th August. For more information please contact William.
Times and Cost
The Walking Meeting runs from 10am, usually for around an hour. This meeting is free.
The Regular Meeting runs from 9:30 to 12:30, with a short break at around 11am. The cost is £10 to cover hire of the room (please see the note below). If you can't manage £10, then we will not insist. If, however, you can manage a little more than £10, your additional support will be appreciated.
We have a card reader available at the meeting. If, alternatively, you prefer to pay online, our bank details are:
PERSON CENTRED COMMUNITY;
08-92-99;
65079432.
We are also happy to accept cash.
We realise that we have put up the nominal price of attendance from £5 to £10. The price had sat at £5 for over ten years, and no longer covers the cost of the room. We have decided therefore that it really is time to ask for more. We must emphasise that, if you definitely cannot afford the extra money, then we will not insist.
If you have any problems concerning payment, please contact William.
There are supplies of teas, coffees etc. at no extra charge.
Newcomers welcome!
The PCC group meetings are open to anyone with a curiosity about the person-centred approach. All newcomers are welcome. The Friends' Meeting House meeting is a drop-in meeting so you can come along and introduce yourself.
Our meetings are not facilitated. They are unstructured and develop according to what people bring in terms of their needs, interests and experiences. The aim is to offer a confidential atmosphere, one of respect and trust allowing people the chance to be open.
Reading group
The reading and discussion group consists of members of the Person-Centered Community who meet every two months or so to discuss an article or chapter of a book that's usually linked to the person-centered approach.
We currently meet online, and would dearly love to welcome in new members.
You are very welcome to join this group, but it is not a drop-in. If you are interested in joining this group please email Geraldine Pass: geraldinem1264@gmail.com.
