- A walking meeting on the second Saturday of each month, starting from the Brighton Nature Reserve car park off Warren Road, Woodingdean (BN2 6DT) - see map;
- A conventional, in-person meeting on the third Saturday at the Friends' Meeting House, Ship Street, Brighton BN1 1AF. We meet upstairs, usually in room 3, but the room number will 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 4th May. The cost is £7. To book your place please click here. For further details please contact JennPayne-Gregory
- The next walking meeting will be on 11th May at 10am. In the case of bad weather there will normally be no meeting. Please, in any case, contact Chris at aihpos58@gmail.com for an update.
Venue, time and dates
The Walking Meeting runs from 10am. 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.
If you are paying online, our bank details are:
PERSON CENTRED COMMUNITY;
08-92-99;
65079432.
We are also happy to accept cash.
If you run into any problems concerning payment, please contact William. There is now access to the kitchen, and there will be supplies of teas, coffees etc.
We realise that we have put up the nominal price of attendance from £5 to £10. The price has 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.
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.
