About this Event

Better by the End

A Wildish Workshop for People Who Are Done Pretending

Something in you knows there is more.
Past the grind, the scrolling, the constant performing.
Welcome, those parts of you that still believe.

Welcome to a monthly ritual in plain clothes: a space to remember yourself, or to move something that got stuck.
You might just land in a room full of people who, rather than competing, are just trying to be real with themselves and each other.



What Happens Here?

Every session is different.if you have worked with me before, you probably know, I have an overflowing tool bag, full of awesome exercises, ideas, and ways to hold space in a safe, inviting, enriching way.

Stir that around with what shows up in the room, and…

You might find yourself drawing In a group, speaking truth to a stranger, or sitting quietly with a snack and your breath.

There is always structure—but it’s alive.
There is always leadership—but it’s attuned and supportive.

When it feels right, You can count on a 20-minute break with food And drinks provided. And this is a community offering, so if you want to bring something, we will eat that too…

Because sharing food is an original technology. -S. Thomas



Who Comes to This?

People like you.

  • The person who's fine, but wants to expand
  • The queer kid done shrinking
  • The questioning MAGA dad with a soft heart and no map
  • The burned-out caregiver who needs to fall apart for a minute
  • The skeptical healer
  • The CEO who’s crushed every metri but can’t name what they’re feeling
  • The artist who hasn’t made anything in years
  • The person whose body showed up before their mind said yes

This space holds grief and laughter.
Awkwardness and beauty.
Silence and song.
You don’t have to be good at anything.
You just have to show up and be. You can even leave early, and that practice itself, that micro-courageous step where you listen to your own needs, is... Better.



What You’ll Leave With:
  • A little more breath
  • A little less armor
  • A strange kind of joy
  • A sense that you are, in fact, not alone

You’ll leave better by the end—whatever that means for you.
