Taking Ourselves Less Seriously

$97.00

Confidence, Choice, and the Freedom to Be Human

This interactive workshop explores how over-identifying with our thoughts, emotions, and roles can quietly limit our confidence and sense of choice. Through reflection, experiential and embodied practices, along with shared insight and connection, participants will discover ways to stay deeply engaged with life while releasing unnecessary weight.

Bottom line: we really don’t have to take ourselves so seriously.
No… seriously… we don’t. :)
