Special Events

We occasionally host events for organisations that are keen to use HHP as a stimulating environment to run activities. HHP members can be involved in hosting, facilitating, coordinating or simply taking part in the event. The events vary greatly in their content and style. You can see what events are planned for the future. If you are thinking of hosting an event at HHP, it maybe worth seeing examples of other events that have been held at HHP in the past.

  Of all the problems of our world, perhaps the biggest is that of the blocked response. How can psychotherapists and counselors help our culture rise to the challenges our times present us with? This workshop introduces practices for cultivating our passion and activating our power. Also includes lunch and a tour of the Hockerton Housing Project.
