Spring Wellbeing Workshop: Homegoing

“Weakness is treating someone as though they belong to you.

Strength is knowing that everyone belongs to themselves.”Come along for a relaxed Shared Reading session led by our experienced practitioners before heading out for a stroll through the stunning springtime nature surrounding us in Calderstones Park.

Homegoing takes us from the Gold Coast of Africa to the cotton-picking plantations of Mississippi; from the missionary schools of Ghana to the dive bars of Harlem, spanning three continents and seven generations.

Effia and Esi are two sisters with two very different destinies.

One is sold into slavery, the other is a slave trader's wife.

The consequences of their fate reverberate through the generations that follow.We’ll be looking at an extract from the novel plus several accompanying poems throughout the afternoon.Ticket includes unlimited tea and coffee.
