About this Event
This workshop is to create a safe space with no pressure. The goal is to help people get out of their comfort zones and try new things in a way that feels safe to their nervous system, but sometimes novelty, even in bite sized pieces, can be overwhelming, so I like to give people to option to opt out of any activity if they don’t feel safe engaging in it. For any one of the 15 minute activities below, individuals have the option to sit them out, listen to music, and sit or continue to journal or draw, whatever feels good for them. This is a pressure free, judgement free zone.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
15 minutes of mindful movements - Shake out that anxious energy and move it through your bodies through dancing, shaking, and being silly so we can all get to a state of feeling more at ease with ourselves and those around us.
15 minutes of journaling - Take time and space to journal and feel supported by doing it with other people in your presence.
15 minutes of mirror exercises with partners- Step out of your comfort zones and connect with someone in a way that’s safe and contained to slowly build trust within themselves and with others.
15 minutes of more journaling - Reflect on how the mirror exercises made you feel.
15 minutes of drawing/doodling - Access your subconscious mind and bring things up to the surface that we might otherwise not be conscious of. Free-draw and scribble and see what comes up, or if they need more direction, they can choose a prop to draw. Drawing is a nice way to calm the nervous system as well as practice artistic skills.
15 minutes of group discussion - Share anything you'd like to share, whether it be something that went on in their day, how they’re feeling in that moment or sharing their drawing perhaps.
WHAT TO BRING:
Journals, sketchpads, & writing utensils will be provided, BUT participants may bring their own items, such as yoga mats, blankets, headphones, etc.
