This presentation will NOT be recorded for playback review
In this transformative workshop participants will embark on a journey of self-discovery and growth. Unlike traditional workshops, this experience is designed for active participation, not passive observation, fostering a deep connection between all participants.
The workshop has two central objectives. First and foremost, it aims to provide valuable insights into the complex emotion of shame, shedding light on its origins and manifestations. Secondly, participants will engage in a series of carefully crafted, safe, and staged experiences that allow them to confront and process feelings of shame in a supportive group setting. Through the workshop attendees will learn how to help clients process these emotions, paving the way for healing and growth.
