A symbolic guide for waiting and truth

Introduction

Limbo is not emptiness — it is a sacred pause. It holds wisdom for those who resist

what is false and wait for what is real. This guide offers reflections to help you navigate

limbo with patience, clarity, and trust.

Resisting the False

Sometimes limbo is a refusal. A quiet "no" to illusions, distractions, or pressures that

would pull you away from your truth. This resistance is not weakness — it is protection.

In limbo, you learn to stand still until what appears is real.

Waiting for the Real

Limbo also holds the wisdom of waiting. Not passive, but alert — like a seed beneath

the soil. What is real will take root in its own time, and when it does, you will know. The

stillness of limbo prepares you for it.

The Gift of Limbo

Though uncomfortable, limbo is a teacher. It teaches trust in timing, courage in

uncertainty, and faith in the unseen. To honour limbo is to honour the truth that has not

yet fully arrived.

When Limbo is Loss

Limbo is not always a choice. Sometimes it follows heartbreak, grief, betrayal, or the

loss of faith. It comes after the death of someone you love, or the end of something

you believed in. In these moments, limbo isn’t just stillness — it’s survival. The breath

between who you were and who you are becoming. To be in limbo after loss is to

stand in the unknown and allow yourself to be reshaped.

"Limbo is not loss. It is the threshold of becoming."

Overview

The Table Time concept is a foundational component of the TruthCentre vision. It

involves a core team of individuals committed to emotional intelligence, lived

experience, and genuine support. The team meets regularly—typically weekly—in a

safe, structured space known as the "table room."

How it Works

Each session begins with a short check-in, where every team member shares either a

struggle, celebration, or life insight. This promotes vulnerability, accountability, and

emotional literacy. The energy of the space is focused on active listening, deep

empathy, and helpful, non-judgmental responses.

Each new participant also records a short video upon entering the group, reflecting on

where they are in life. After three months of attendance and growth, they record a

follow-up video to track emotional, behavioural, and personal development. These

videos act as personal mirrors and progress tools, reinforcing accountability and truth.

Purpose

The Table Time team is not just about support; it’s about developing a strong,

emotionally mature foundation of leaders who can eventually support others in the

wider community through the TruthCentre's referral system.

Universal Karma Ethic:

The ethos is simple: those who show up, grow, and give, will eventually receive. As the

Table Time team becomes stable and self-aware, they organically become support for

others—mirroring the very process they once experienced themselves.

Scalable Impact

Not every referral will need the entire Table Time group. Over time, individuals or

smaller groups can be matched to support newcomers, creating a powerful ripple

effect.

Endgame Vision

A culture of real truth, consistent check-ins, emotional growth, and authentic

community—where healing, strength, and service are interwoven. The Table Time

room becomes a sacred, truth-focused space where ego dissolves, dialogue is honest,

and shared understanding is reached. This is where healing happens.

Early Truth: Education That Prevents & Heals

The Early Truth initiative is a core outreach of the TruthCentre, designed to meet

children and young people where they are — early in life, early in pain, and early in

potential.

Purpose:

To reach children with emotionally resonant material that helps them understand

themselves, others, and the hidden roots of trauma — before those wounds shape

their identity.

Early Truth doesn’t just heal — it prevents. By planting seeds of awareness early,

we give young people a chance to understand and navigate life with greater emotional

clarity, safety, and strength.

Core Components:

1. Emotional Truth & Self-Awareness: Children learn to identify feelings, understand

emotional patterns, and reflect on their inner world in a safe and supported way.

2. Empathy & Trauma Understanding: Through stories, poetry, and discussion, they

explore how trauma ripples outward — building deep inner empathy.

3. Body Autonomy & Speaking Out: Clear guidance on boundaries, personal power,

and breaking silence.

4. Breaking Generational Harm: Empowers young people to avoid cycles of abuse,

addiction, and emotional manipulation.

5. Real Images, Real Voices: Uses photography, poetry, and raw truth that speaks to

real emotional experience.

6. Protection Through Awareness: Understanding why hurt people hurt others

equips young people with a “shield of self-awareness” to navigate life more safely.

Vision:

To plant seeds of emotional intelligence and strength early — creating ripple effects

that change lives, families, and futures. Prevention is the deepest form of healing.

TruthCentre Integration & Belonging Programme

Vision:

To not only welcome immigrants to the country, but to genuinely integrate them into

the heart of the local community — so they are seen, heard, accepted, and involved.

Core Goals:

- Cultural Understanding: Teach local customs, slang, norms, and how things “work”

day-to-day — from humour to heritage.

- Conversational English Practice: Safe spaces to speak, laugh, and build

confidence with local volunteers.

- Community Pairing: Each newcomer is paired with a trusted local volunteer (like a

Table Time team member) for mentoring, friendship, and help navigating life.

- Story Swaps: Sessions where locals and immigrants exchange stories, meals, and

traditions — helping both sides appreciate each other’s roots.

- Creative & Practical Involvement: Newcomers are invited into TruthCentre events,

youth work, mural painting, food sharing, and more.

Why It Matters:

When people feel connected, accepted, and known, everything improves — mental

health, trust in society, and a stronger community identity.

The End Goal:

To make the phrase “our community” mean everyone who lives here — not just those

born here. When that’s true, the ripple effects will be generational.

TruthCentre isn’t just a service — it’s a living, breathing hub of daily connection and

shared momentum.

Everyday Activities That Bring People Together:

- Chess Club: Quiet minds, focused strategy, and unexpected friendships.

- Table Tennis Club: Movement, laughter, and release in a casual, welcoming space.

- Good Vibes Book Club: Read something uplifting, talk about it with people who

care, and leave feeling lighter.

Open Rooms, Open Hearts:

TruthCentre will offer a few spare rooms for people to use for their own ideas and

projects — from support circles to creative workshops or skill-sharing spaces. These

rooms will be affordable or free, depending on the cause — because access to a safe,

trusted space shouldn’t come at a high cost.

The Result:

A flexible centre where something good is always happening. A place that adapts,

expands, and uplifts — powered by the people who walk through its doors.

TruthCentre Gym: Growth, Strength & Opportunity

The TruthCentre Gym is more than just a place to work out — it's a space for

rebuilding, rebalancing, and rising. Designed to support emotional recovery, physical

health, and young entrepreneurship.

Core Purposes:

1. Mental & Physical Wellbeing: Offers structure, movement, and reconnection with

the body.

2. Affordable & Accessible: Low-cost for young people and TruthCentre users

seeking stability.

3. A Launchpad for Young PTs: Personal trainers just starting out can use the gym

affordably, gain real experience, build a client base, and grow in confidence.

4. Positive Energy Flow: Sessions build resilience, trust, and long-term momentum

for life.

Vision:

A vibrant, accessible space where strength and healing meet. A place where people

reset, grow, and begin again.

TruthCentre isn’t just a project — it’s an intervention. A response to the deep

disconnection, generational trauma, emotional illiteracy, and social fragmentation

affecting lives today.

Systemic Gaps It Fills:

• Young people don’t know how to name what they feel or protect themselves

emotionally.

• Immigrants are often welcomed to a country, but never integrated into the local heart

of it.

• Hurt people — especially men — often fall through every net until crisis hits.

• Faith-departures, identity collapse, and post-trauma limbo are ignored by mainstream

services.

What TruthCentre Offers:

• Emotional protection through education (Early Truth).

• Ego-free group therapy and shared truth (Table Time).

• Local community integration with dignity and friendship.

• Accessible healing spaces: gym, clubs, safe rooms for community use.

Designed for Delivery:

This isn’t a vague dream. The TruthCentre model is:

✔ Clear

✔ Structured

✔ Scalable

✔ Realistic to fund and pilot

Real Social ROI (Return on Investment):

A pilot of this size could prevent downstream costs in mental health, policing, addiction

services, youth offending, and isolation.

Funding Potential:

This concept — based in Oxford — has national reach.

With the right backing, it could scale across the UK and become a permanent

preventative model embedded in future public health and education frameworks.

Final Word:

People are losing trust in systems. They are looking for meaning, safety, and

connection.

Truth center meets that need - quietly ,honestly and powerfully.

It doesn't just heal, It prevents, It strengthens.

It belongs to the people & its ready.
