SLOW MOTION ‘SELF’IES

A diagnosis of a neurodegenerative condition like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, MS or others, is a life changer. “Something is wrong in your brain!” is the message, and it can feel like an assault on your sense of self, your very identity. It takes a bit of getting used to. We are delighted that the National Lottery Community Fund is supporting our new pilot project, Slow Motion Selfies, which we hope will help.

Groups of people will work together, share experiences, have fun and take part in activities that explore and challenge their thinking and stimulate their creativity and self-expression. We know the resulting writings, artwork, photographs, music, songs, craftwork or performances will inspire and encourage others.

Sessions will be held in Cardiff during Spring 2020 and are open to those with a diagnosis of a neurodegenerative condition and/or their family members. Sessions are free and we can provide help with travel expenses.
