Spring Meeting, 18th May 2024, Cambridge

I sense the first signs of Spring emerging in our Wintery environment and I hope you can too!

Our annual Spring Meeting will be held on Saturday 18th May 2024 at the Clayton Hotel, 27-29 Station Road, Cambridge CB1 2FB. The committee meeting, open to all ABMT members, will run, as usual, from 11.00 am to 1pm, and the Afternoon Session from 2 to 4pm. The whole of the day's events will be available on-line so if you would like to participate in this way, please let me know.

The Afternoon Session will be open to non-members. Members are free, £20 for non-members.

Our Speaker for the Afternoon Session this year will be Professor Helen Payne. Here is some preliminary information that Helen as sent us about the workshop:

This workshop will provide a brief background to The BodyMind Approach for supporting people experiencing medically unexplained symptoms (with labels such as IBS, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia etc.) for which all tests and scans come back normal.

There will be open discussion and opportunities to engage in some experiential learning practices.
