    The first live recorded CircularityCONNECT event featuring speakers and ideas relating to Mental Health and Illness, Emotional Wellbeing and our CircularityHEALTH project. Our July CircularityCONNECT event has the theme ‘Are We OK? An Evening for Emotional Wellbeing’.  Discover - Talks by local individuals and organisations Create - Professional and Personal Networks and Connections with others around the CONNECT theme. Share - Stories and ideas to help change mindsets from Me to We, using creativity and technology. Each of our popular quarterly meetings, kindly hosted by the National Brewery Centre, Burton on Trent, invites people to join us to explore a specific theme that resonates with local need. We explore topics through a number of facilitators or presentations and invite the audience to participate and reflect on their values, encouraging understanding and positive action. Below are some of the kind words from previous Circularity events:   ·         “It is an inspiring community that is diverse in terms of the interests and beliefs of members but with a common wish to influence positive change in the world through acts of kindness, artistic and musical contributions … it shows a positive side of humanity in difficult times.” ·         “Space to connect with people who care about stuff. It's like an interactive book with people weaved in and my experience has been one that I can describe as heart-warming.” ·         “Gives a great opportunity to meet up with like-minded people from all walks of life… interesting, educational and innovative … The topics discussed are really varied and offer the chance to listen to differing points of view in a relaxed and chatty format.” ·         “Circularity has put me in touch with so many creative and inspiring individuals and given me the chance to test out my own creative expressions. Thank you so much for what you do!” Please support us through joining the Facebook group, following and interacting with @CircularityORG on Twitter and IG, and @CircularityPOD also on Twitter.
