Marvellous Me Mondays
Marvellous Me Mondays is our weekly series on Zoom, with a different facilitator and theme for each series.
Our current series is The Strengths Within – Mindfulness and Character Strengths for Living Well with Sight Loss, delivered over 12 weeks with Laura Brodie from Adventures in Albinism.
Now running: The Strengths Within
Each session explores one of the character strengths in the VIA Framework through guided mindfulness practice. At the end of each session the group is invited to reflect on that evening’s experience, and members are sent the accompanying meditation practices.
Laura encourages members to take the free online VIA character strengths test.

Everyday Ease: Simple Ways to Make Life Work for You
June to July 2026Caroline Dove is a writer, facilitator and communication intermediary working with complex workplace situations. Her work explores neurodiversity, disability, identity and belonging. Through her book coming this year, on Invisible Grit, Caroline brings together lived reflection, professional insight and a commitment to compassionate conversations, collaboration and finding workable solutions.
This six-week programme offered a welcoming and supportive space for people living with sight loss to explore simple ways of making everyday life feel easier and more manageable.
Eye Matter recognises everyone’s journey is different. This programme was about sharing ideas, learning from each other, and finding what works for you – so that daily life feels more in your control and less of a struggle.
How the sessions worked
Each session was 60 minutes on Zoom and followed a simple, relaxed format:
- A warm welcome and chance to check in
- A practical idea to explore together
- A guided activity or discussion
- A small, optional step to try during the week
There was no pressure – just an opportunity to take part in a way that felt right for participants.
