🤗 Consent and Boundaries:

Creating a safe and inclusive space hinges on respecting consent and practicing healthy boundaries, especially during partnered exercises. Your comfort matters most, and it's absolutely acceptable to opt-out of any activity that doesn't align with your comfort level.

Consent revolves around clear communication, mutual understanding, and respecting others' boundaries without assumptions. Listen to your body's cues; it often signals your true feelings towards a request. Throughout the day, prioritise what feels right for you.

🏳️‍🌈 Inclusivity is Our Strength:

"Imagination" is a haven for everyone. We prioritise diversity and inclusion at our events, creating a space that is LGBTQIA+ friendly, embraces alternative relationship models (such as ethical non-monogamy), is supportive of s3x workers, k!nk-friendly, and affirming of neurodiversity. We celebrate all body types, genders, and cultural backgrounds, extending a warm invitation to individuals of all ages to participate in our events.

💫 Full Permission Space:

This workshop day is a celebration of you! "Imagination" is crafted as a full permission space, allowing you to be authentically you, no matter where you are on your journey.

🫀 Learn from the Heart, Be Present:

Let's move beyond the intellectual and dive into the heart space. We invite you to learn from your hearts, not just your heads. Be present, be fully here, and let the flow of the day unfold.

This is such a beautiful way to begin the year. Let's dive into the realm of imagination, growth and play together, embrace creativity, and create lasting connections. Secure your spot now and prepare for a day filled with wonder, exploration, and the limitless power of imagination!
