What delegates have said:
“A great group to connect with like minded practitioners to explore self and how one shows up in their practice with clients”
“The group have provided support for the issues I have regarding being of mixed heritage. It has given me a sense of ‘my community’. This helps me and my clients.”
“Mosaic Group is a vital space for mixed therapists who haven’t ever had the chance to explore mixed identity away from the monoracial gaze. My duality really appreciates it!”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“This group has been so empowering and contributed to me getting through my training”
“A group that truly does what it says on the tin: a unique mix of peoples, with each of us being our own unique mix, coming together to explore any and everything that relates to the myriad experiences we share. A truly safe space.”
“Join the Mosaic group if you can – an amazing insight into Multi Heritage richness”
“The Mosaic Group has greatly contributed to my feeling able to get through the training”
“Well worth attending to think about a range of experiences related to the internalised interface of different ethnicities”
“Having spent most of my life not really engaging with my identity, and not feeling that I fit in anywhere, the Mosaic group space let me feel heard, and created a sense of belonging and community.”
“The Mosaic Group is an invaluable resource for a growing multiracial world, we are the future of this planet, embrace us”
“I feel a need for this group as I have struggled to fit into any group. I’ve explored the many reasons for this, and all were relevant. What I hadn’t explored was my sense of self, being born into a duel heritage background. Sitting with this inner conflict, which meant betrayal.”
“I find it difficult to describe the feeling of being part of this group. It’s of some profundity, something very important took place for me and it seems to me that for others in the group too. I already started experiencing healing on a deep level and I’m looking forward to further meetings.”
