Some music to brighten your Monday morning ☀️🎶 Last week our Music group performed songs from classic literature in celebration of the Ilkley Literature Festival. 📖 We journeyed from Charles Dickens' Victorian London, all the way to Aladdin's Arabian Nights and everywhere in between!

Author, artist and psychotherapist Catherine will be sharing her book 'Still Living'.

"Still Living is a luminous and radically honest memoir about the part we don’t talk about enough: what happens after a life-altering experience, when the immediate crisis may be over but you - and the landscape of your life - have been irrevocably changed and rearranged.

Through the guiding metaphor of a mountain, Catherine traces her intimate journey through breast cancer, chronic illness, ME and identity rupture from a trauma-aware and neurodivergent perspective."

What to expect:
• Coffee and Cake available to purchase
• *A short reading from Still Living
• Artwork to browse
• Books available to buy and have signed
• Space for conversation and connection.
• An opportunity to support a local charity
• Raising awareness of breast cancer and ME.
