We warmly welcome and befriend people who experience 'extra-ordinary' states of mind such as hearing voices and other senses, (touch, smell, visions etc), which are not felt by those around us.
We support the approach of being heard and understood, of hearing the stories of others. We share coping skills and we know that 'voices' are a common reaction to an extraordinary world.
Many famous people heard voices, such as:
- Mahatma Ghandi
- Churchill
- Mozart
- Beethoven.
