'Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed its the only thing that ever did'.
Margaret Mead

If you have a desire to volunteer with us, show care to others and help create a culture based on gentleness and generosity where all beings can thrive, then this training day is for you.

 

About the training:

Our full day's training primarily focuses on the three core pillars of ‘A Touch of Gentleness’:

  1. The energy of Gentleness.
  2. The emotional and physical benefits of touch, along with a beautiful hand massage.
  3. Compassionate listening skills.

The day also includes psycho-education on stress, resilience, self-calming techniques, and safeguarding. Grounded in best practice, it has been designed to be experiential, theoretical, and practical.

Our intention is that there is something for everyone and that it will be an enjoyable, uplifting, and educational experience for all who attend.

On completion of the day you will be fully trained, insured and supported so that you are able to offer our service out in your community. You will also have access to full membership benefits.

The day’s training is offered freely, though we warmly welcome any donation that you are able to make. Donations help ensure that we can continue to run trainings, support and equip all our volunteers.

No previous experience is necessary.

I enjoyed being part of the training day, being onboard something special and magical and being amongst like minded people. I've always believed in the concept of 'pay it forward' when a kindness is done, and this will have a ripple effect. Much needed in our world today. I don't think I can put a score on the course as it is priceless.
