Join Reasoing with Empress Lei/Beyond Barz CIC – a new organisation powered by lived experience – for Reasoning in the Park: a free, uplifting community event created for ex-offenders, families, friends, and all affected by the criminal justice system.
This is a safe space to connect, heal, and grow. We’ll share realities, offer free workshops, resources, and honest conversations – all designed to foster self-love, reflection, and practical steps forward. No judgment, just support and understanding.
