Compassionate Connections
A bold, brave & compassionate 8-week journey into healing
Starting in October, we are delighted to be offering the Compassionate Connections course at Shore. The course is being run by Bronwyn Tutty & Johanna Lind.
What is it?
This is not your usual Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) course. It’s evidence-based and grounded in psychology, but also fun, creative, playful, and deeply connected.
Across 8 weeks, we blend teaching, group sharing, embodiment, art, movement, and visualisation to bring compassion to life — in a way that sticks. Expect learning, laughing, processing, and re-connecting to yourself in a group that feels both safe and energising.

The Approach
We use the science-backed principles of CFT to:
- Understand the brain and how it keeps us stuck
- Explore emotional regulation and the inner critic
- Reconnect with the body through movement and creativity
- Build self-compassion and courage
- Create lasting strategies for managing anxiety and low mood
Who is it for?
Women who are just beginning their healing journey. It is ideal for those who:
- Experience anxiety, low mood, or emotional disconnection
- Feel tired of holding everything together
- Struggle with perfectionism and self-doubt
- Feel like they’ve lost their spark
- Are interested in wellbeing but don’t know where to start
- Miss feeling playful and connected
This course is especially suited to mums and caregivers who want to shift from surviving to thriving — and finally turn some care inward.
What you will gain
By the end of the course, participants will:
- Understand how their brain and body respond to stress
- Feel more centred, calm, and connected
- Have practical tools and strategies they can use every day
- Grow in self-compassion and confidence
- Learn how to sit with emotions without being overwhelmed
- Leave with a creative, compassionate toolkit for life
- Feel part of a like-minded, supportive community
Each weekly session includes
- Teaching and group learning
- Workbook exercises
- Embodiment practices (gentle movement, breath, art, sound)
- Sharing circles (always optional)
- Creative processes to access new insight
The space will be safe, gentle, brave, creative, playful & fun. Everything is optional – you can just show up and be yourself
