Unfortunately we are unable to offer carry-over credit for missed sessions in a 4-session block. To support the work of the group, this group is closed to new participants after the start of each 4-session block. As it is not a drop-in group, please commit to come to all four sessions if at all possible.
To maintain your place in the group, please book in advance for the next block of sessions. At the latest, please book by the end of the Thursday after the last Wednesday a block, otherwise your place in the group will become free for someone else to book.
Arrival time: arrive from 15 minutes before the start. Please arrive on time, we will close the doors at the start of the session and to maintain the integrity of the group unfortunately we won’t be able to let latecomers in.
If required, please bring a bottle of water or a soft drink.
An extra word on the supportive ethos of the Fellow Travellers group: it’s not about fixing or converting or persuading anyone. It’s about respecting our common humanity, and learning from our differences.
