Join our tenth Chronically Ch(ILL) Session – a welcoming space designed specifically for chronically ill and chronically chill people.

Felicity (She/her) is a dancer and a holistic, integrated personal trainer and movement practitioner.

Shaped by her journey through profound burnout in both dance and training, and a deepening understanding of neurodiversity, her person-centred, psychologically and somatically informed practice uses movement as a tool for self-awareness, regulation, and resilience.

She is a curious being who weaves her interest in art as a tool, and her experience with parkour therapy under Esprit Concrete’s guidance, into her coaching practice.

Looking ahead, she aims to create spaces where movement, psychology, and neurodivergent experience intersect — supporting more adaptive, embodied, and honest ways of training and being.

Nicolette (they/them) makes text and photographic art based on experiences on varied illness and states of consciousness. Including performance stills, play, and poetry.

Join our eighth Chronically Ch(ILL) Session – a welcoming space designed specifically for chronically ill and chronically chill people.

Hannah Bevan-Woolley (they/them) is a disabled researcher, writer and musician, currently conducting ethnographic research for their Master’s in Anthropology. In collaboration with We Are Sensoria, they are exploring radical accessibility as a means to re-imagine, practice and embody change.

Their work weaves lived experience into the fabric of the wider cultural and political context and explores the creative ways that chronically ill, neurodivergent and disabled people continue to build spaces of expression, connection and experimentation.

Hannah is committed to challenging the ableist foundations of knowledge production, and seeks to integrate the specific ways that disabled people experience and embody the world into understandings of what it means to sense, to exist and to feel. They use creativity and disability as a method, using their own body and sensory alterity to access different ways of knowing the world.

This session is an invitation to take part in a guided writing exercise exploring the therapeutic tool of Pendulation. We will gently welcome emotion, sensation and memory, using the page to describe and hold a moment of distress or discomfort. We will then shift our attention to something that brings us ease or neutrality. This fluid movement between internal states can aid in the regulation of our nervous systems, and help us shift out of cycles of rumination
