347 7th St, Nanaimo, BC V9R, Canada | Nanaimo, BC
Do you have a hard time saying no?Do you struggle to identify what you want/need?
Are you afraid to ask for things you DO want because of how people may respond?
Do you often find yourself just going along with what other people want because it's easier than figuring out what YOU want?
This workshop is designed so that we may soften enough to open up to our desires. Together we will explore why it can be so difficult to say what we want and don't want. And demystify some of the ways that we give up before we have even tried to get what we long for.
We will practice unearthing our desires.
Begin using our voices.
And stop playing it safe when it comes to speaking our truth.
Together, we will co-create a space where we can have a soft landing to whisper our desires to the universe. Perhaps, even each other.
Together we will unpack shame and embarrassment. And begin to see how similar our struggles can be.
No matter where you are in your life it is never too late to start asking for what you want and saying no to what you don't.
You never know, you might even end up getting what you desire after all!
This workshop:
-is clothed
-is playful and experiential
-involves touch if you desire, if not you are still welcome to attend and observe
