Boundaries and Self
A deep dive into the theory and practice of boundary-setting, and how this crucial life skill intersects with identity, worth & femme trauma
In this workshop you will:
​
Share an intimate and in-person space with other delightful women and femmes.
​
​
​
Participate in experiential practice designed to flex the physical, mental and emotional muscles required for setting boundaries.
​​
​
​
Examine the cultural and family contexts that condition our experience when it comes to personal needs, intuition, the body, desire, pleasure, and communication with ourselves and others.
​
​
​
Learn about the human nervous system and trauma: how fight, flight and freeze operate, and how these states cause chronic issues and intersect with oppression.
​
​
​
Understand the dynamics of fight, flight and freeze's lesser-known relative: Tend and Befriend.
​
​
​
Engage in practices designed to strengthen the relationship to your own impulse and intuition, and why this is important.
