Women's Residential

Our Stories: Women's Storytelling Residentials

TUH Update
September 2005

Towards Understanding and Healing is currently working with just six months of interim funding. We have committed to providing three mixed-gender storytelling residentials and one dialogue residential during this time. However, come the new year, we will know whether or not the project has secured future funding, enabling us to continue our programme and provide future women’s residentials. If you are interested in these residentials please contact us and we will keep you informed.

23-25 July 2004
12-14 November 2004

These weekend residentials were held for women who have been impacted in some way by the Troubles in Northern Ireland. The sessiond were designed to provide women from Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland, and Great Britain with an opportunity to come together to explore individual and shared experiences. The focus of the residentials was to provide an opportunity to connect with other women through the telling and hearing of individual stories with time for relaxation as well. These residentials were a unique experience, bringing together women from all perspectives of the conflict in Northern Ireland to discuss its legacy in our lives.
