About us
The Healing Rooms is a community that brings people together through shared experiences, conversation and wellbeing activities, with a particular focus on those affected by the impacts of generational trauma. Our aim is to facilitate healing by reducing isolation, creating connection, and empowering through regular online and in-person gatherings, cultural outings, day trips and retreats.
Our activities include online wellbeing circles exploring topics such as nervous system regulation and parenting stress, as well as cultural visits and social events that encourage members to connect, learn, explore and relax together. To ensure accessibility for all, we offer a limited number of full/partial subsidises memberships offering free access to some of our group spaces and discounts on activities.
Healing happens in connection. Whether you're looking to meet new people, share experiences, explore new places or simply spend time with an uplifting and supportive community, you’d be welcomed to join.
The Healing Rooms CIC is a community organisation founded by psychotherapist Vanessa East. This Meetup is our community space, bringing people together through shared activities, cultural experiences and wellbeing events. Some activities are subsidised and others are paid, helping us to make our work accessible to the wider community
