WORKSHOP - AUTHENTICITY: DISCOVER AND EMBRACE YOUR TRUE SELF

“Authenticity is the daily practice of letting go of who we think we’re supposed to be and embracing who we are” - Brené Brown

What would happen if you let go of who you think you should be? Or embrace the parts of yourself that are not always welcome?

Let’s find out together.

In this workshop, we will focus on discovering and embracing our authentic selves. Through different exercises that promote curiosity, compassion and mindfulness, we will turn inward and get to know ourselves on a deeper level. We will uncover the different parts that make up our inner selves and acknowledge the unique role that each part plays for us (even the parts that we or others may dislike). Finally, we will explore how we can integrate all these parts into a harmonious whole.

This 4-hour workshop is the first in a two-part series on authenticity. You can attend one or both workshops. While each workshop is designed to stand alone and provide a valuable experience, attending both will provide you with a richer and more rounded exploration of the topic.

FORMAT
Our workshops are designed in a heartfelt way that helps participants come to profound insights about themselves and connect meaningfully with others. We provide a safe space where we experiment and learn from and with each other through different experiential activities, such as guided individual practices, group experiments, creative exercises, and pair work.

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU?
A space where you can come as you are and…
• Create new experiences alongside people who acknowledge and support you.
• Embrace your creative and curious sides.
• Have fun! Discover how depth and playfulness can not only co-exist but also enhance each other.
• Cultivate skills that will allow you to understand and express your true self.
• Become part of a community of like-minded and like-hearted people.
