YOU ASKED AND WE HEARD YOU! HARNESS YOUR EMOTIONS: WORKSHOP IS BACK FOR ROUND 2!!!

Emotions are our power, our intuition, our tools and our guides. Overwhelming at times, they challenge us to see, they challenge us to live. Harness Your Emotions is a teaching space where you learn to welcome your emotions and harness their power!

"Harness Your Emotions" is a skill building, immersive workshop series being run for the first time (exciting!). Guided by the Acceptance & Commitment (ACT) model of therapy, Harness Your Emotions is a reflective space where we welcome the emotion into the room and practice acknowledging, accepting & expanding before harnessing the emotion itself. A practical teaching space where we experience, expand and learn. You can expect to welcome the emotion into the room so we can learn to harness it together.

What you will leave with;

Skills & perspectives to help recognise and welcome the emotion
Skills & perspectives to help expand and create space for the emotion
Skills & perspectives to help harness the emotion

What does it mean to harness your emotions? It means utilising the power of each emotion with the understanding they come with a purpose. For example; you may use lethargy to rest, you may use anxiety to see barriers or risks & you may use anger to activate action.
