Yesterday we held the first Steering Group meeting for our new ‘The Emerging Kind tEK’ project. I thought you might like to meet the team in more detail, so today it’s with great pleasure I introduce you to Dr Mick Collins, tEK advisor and all- round ‘good egg’!

Mick is an Author, University Lecturer with a Phd, Therapist and Coach, but most importantly identifies as a Peer himself…

Some of you will remember Mick from his Emerging Proud interview, from which I’ve taken this snippet to emphasize why ‘kindness’ is so important to those going through the  often very traumatic spiritual emergence process. The Peer groups that the Emerging Kind project aims to create worldwide will offer the kind of support that Mick describes as being vital in helping him when he went through his own crisis, initiated through meditation and repressed trauma…

Follow the blog to hear more about the Emerging Kind team, and the amazing Peers who have Emerged Proud and stepped up to be trained to hold safe spaces for those in need; together you are helping to create the new paradigm in mental health care, and we are so very grateful to you all ❤
