One year in, much of the world is still facing lockdown and social distancing because of the pandemic and all that it brings: the infections, the fear of infection, the economic effects, the mental health effects.

 Just gathering with others like this (online) helps us realise that WE ARE NOT ALONE. You will find a good deal of comfort just from being there, with others, feeling the same thing.

We’ve asked ourselves the question –
“How can we best help  in this current lockdown crisis?”

And this is what we’ve come up with.

We’d like to give you some big ‘SECRETS’ for getting through these tough times,
in the most accessible and best value way.

So we’ve put our heads together,
and we’ve talked to LOTS of people over the last year about what’s working for them.

And we’ve drawn on all of our knowledge and experience in the framework of this crisis,
and its particular characteristics.

And we’re condensing all that into this 2 hour online workshop.

Sure, some are having a tougher time than others. Sure, we all have good days and bad days. But it’s possible to have a toolbox full of ways to help yourself get through this in one piece.

And we’ll share that toolbox with you.
This is how we’ve filled it with the ‘secrets’ to get through it –

• We’ve drawn on the best of our techniques to help people through difficult times…  and that’s what we do, even in ‘normal’ times. 
• We’ve been working with groups and individuals over the last year, and have collated the secrets that they’ve discovered really work. 
• We’ve developed new ideas in the thick of these challenging times.  After all, these are very particular times, unlike anything most of us have seen before.

There’s a particular quality to this current lockdown:
that even though we know the vaccinations are on their way,
there is a gloominess and weariness that was absent in the early lockdowns.

But it is a FACT that we’ll be through this one day.

Our way out might end up being different to how we imagine,
But we we will be through it.

And part of what we’ll be doing is helping you think about Life After the Pandemic.
We’ll guide you in considering how to set up for the RIGHT LIFE once we’re through this.
That means the kind of life you could live, and the kind of person you’d like to be, with the kind of perspective that a crisis like the pandemic is giving us.

And NOW is the perfect time to work this out.
Once we’re through it, and back into the bustle of new and old routines,
that moment will be gone.
Now is the time to sit in the difficulty, and see WHAT REALLY MATTERS,
And what you’d really like to do with the rest of you life.

Thank you to all those who’ve supported the process of developing these Lockdown Secrets. In particular, a big thank you to the members of Gaia’s Being Me University, John’s F**k It Revolution and last year’s Tough Times Therapy members.
