Courageous Conversations is a monthly facilitated discussion held every Full Moon from 6:30 pm -8:30 pm
OUR TOPIC FOR 8th March 2023 is -The Dance of Anger.
During this discussion, we will look at ways we feel anger and what happens as a result of expressing it, or not.
Anger is a normal, healthy emotion and if not given an outlet it will eat us alive from the inside out.
We will look at ways anger to process anger and how we can use it for motivation.
We will be using the classic book- The Dance of Anger by Harriet Lerner as our guide.
We hope you'll join us for this deep dive.

About Courageous Conversations-
During these evenings we will explore different communication styles and always invite attendees to look at things from different perspectives.
At these events, we invite everyone to speak so that we can truly see them. Equity, diversity, and inclusion are given precedence in every korero.
The topics will be controversial, juicy, taboo, and ALL the things we don’t usually talk about.
We invite you to connect on a deeper level so that together we can create a community of courageous, conscious beings who are all working on becoming better humans.
What it’s not-
It’s not therapy. If you are needing one-on-one treatment and want to speak with a counsellor then we suggest you do that. This is an open discussion where everyone is heard and has the opportunity to speak.
This is not a rushed, nicey-nice, bright, bustling gathering of quirky games.
What it is-
This is a slow-building of deep conversations, with muted light, lots of cushions, warm cups of tea and soft blankets, and comfy chairs.
These circles will be limited to under 15 participants to reserve intimacy and to give the time to go deep.
One of the main reasons this event has been created is to transform the social anxiety that we all feel, into the courage to speak up in any situation.
Courage is contagious and community is where it grows. These events will not be for the faint of heart, there will be no small talk.
Who is it for?
People who want to become more courageous in their everyday conversations, to speak the words in their heart, say what they mean, and mean what they say! People who want transformational results from spending time with courageous humans.
Who is it not for?
People who are stuck in their ways and not open to seeing things from different perspectives. Attention-seeking show boaters who are not ready to step into the depth of their true being. Humans who splash in the shallow end and play it safe, it’s not that you won’t be welcomed with open arms, you will. But you’ll also be held accountable if you don’t show up fully.
Who's behind it?
~Jill is a highly experienced Facilitator and Community Change Maker with a devotion to non-profit organisations and a passion for non-violent communication. Jill is a counsellor and energy healer.
In the past she was always a peacemaker 'good girl', however after learning how to communicate in a firm, but fair boundaried way she's learned it's time we all spoke up from a place of grounded awareness.
Jill has noticed after sitting in countless meetings how many times the quietest person in the room has the deepest thoughts.
Her idea for Courageous Conversations is to offer an intentional space to give everyone the opportunity to speak, not just the extroverts. She believes that everyone has something to teach and we will all benefit if we come willing to learn.
She has a huge capacity for compassion and empathy and a willingness to talk about the things that aren't spoken about. She welcomes ALL of the emotions and wants you to know that all humans are welcome here.
She believes that in order to create societal change we need to become more courageous and connect with Vulnerability.
~Andrew is a neuro-diverse-science-loving-entheogenist.
He is Jill's partner and biggest fan :)
He brings a totally unique opinion and energy to all the Courageous Conversations that is honest and authentic.
Both Jill and Andrew love connecting with souls and listening to their stories and experiences and believe that challenges make us who we are helps us to learn, grow and transform.
