About This Cause
The first plans for The Secret Space were formed in early 2013. Hertfordshire County Council (HCC) had approached CGL (then CRI, a charity providing local support for people with drug and alcohol problems) to set up three social enterprises , with a view to providing training opportunities and pathways to employment for their service users. HCC were introduced to Nicky Kearns, who was working providing yoga and complementary therapies for CGL service users undergoing treatment for drug and alcohol dependency. Nicky saw the positive impact that a holistic focus on health was having supporting people who were actively engaged in changing their lives for the better. Yoga and Holistic therapies have been used for a long time in this field, as they can assist people in overcoming the physical, mental and emotional strain associated with the recovery process, as well as aiding with safely releasing and processing trauma. Holistic therapies and yoga help people to learn how to relax without the need for substances or alcohol. They provide a tangible and healthy way for people to connect with their bodies, and with themselves, learning how to be present in the moment. With Nicky’s enthusiasm and the proven efficacy of a holistic approach to health being useful to people in recovery, the idea of setting up a holistic therapies and yoga centre as one of the three social enterprises proposed by the council was born… Fast forward 10 years and The Secret Space is now an independent charity and has gone from strength to strength. Our original aims have expanded and we now provide access to yoga and holistic therapies for a wide range of health conditions as well as to those who may not normally be able to afford yoga or therapies. Our passionate team also offer yoga in care homes, mental health housing, youth supported accommodation, addiction recovery services and the list continues to grow!
