Open Minds at the Bridge Collective

[Ashley]

Open Minds is a group for people who see, hear or sense things that other people don’t (often labelled ‘psychosis’.) Like all Bridge Collective activities, we shifted to meeting on Zoom in 2020. This meant that we could stay connected when it was not possible to meet in person. It enabled some new members to join the group from further afield but also meant that we lost touch with some regular attendees. We are planning our first blended meeting on 13th July, and hoping to continue meeting in this way each month. Blended meetings mean that people can attend in-person at the Bridge or choose to join us on Zoom. We are a bit nervous but also looking forward to greeting people in the Bridge again. We are always happy for new people to join the group, or just pop in to see what it’s about. We chat about our experiences of voices and other interesting and sometimes unusual happenings, including visions, visitations and telepathy. We hope this reaches people who might have missed Open Minds while we were only meeting online and that people will feel able to drop in and say hi again even if they haven’t been for a long time. We will continue to send out the Zoom link each month to people on the Open Minds online list (contact us at openminds@bridgecollective.org.uk if you’d like to receive the link. But from July we will aim to have the Bridge door open and the kettle on for anyone who wants to attend in person. 

Directions to the Bridge Collective are available on the website: bridgecollective.org.uk. Looking forward to seeing you sometime if you’re interested.
