Foundations of Connection

Foundations of Connection: A Hands-On Workshop for Self-Discovery

Ever feel like you’re out of sync with your own needs and boundaries? Like you say yes when you mean no—or struggle to know what you really want in the first place? You’re not alone. Foundations of Connection is an interactive self-discovery and boundary-setting workshop designed to help you trust your intuition set clear boundaries and build stronger relationships.

What to Expect

This isn’t your typical personal growth workshop. It's interactive engaging and rooted in practical embodiment practices. You'll learn to recognize what feels right (or wrong) in your body so that you can trust yourself and communicate with confidence.

This isn’t some too-zen-for-words situation and there won't be any vague "just connect with your inner child" advice. (Though let’s be real—you’ll definitely spot a crystal or two in my space. Guilty as charged.) This experience is grounded real and highly practical.

Note: This is a hands-on experience not a "handsy" one. While we’ll explore personal limits through interactive exercises there are no touch-based activities.

✅ Yes No Maybe – Identify how these responses feel in your body in different situations.

✅ Alignment Mapping – Physically explore what “right” and “wrong” feel like for you.

Each exercise is followed by a group discussion to help you integrate what you’ve learned.
