Many of us are now committed to making change happen in the world, but are there tools at your disposal that you're not fully utilising yet?
This is a self-empowerment workshop introducing new processes for identifying and amplifying our unique strengths. By focusing on what we're naturally good at, we begin to see and nurture our own value. We stop reacting to the world around us, and instead find the confidence to create more opportunities for ‘moments of success’ in our own lives, but also drive forward positive change for our communities.
Questions we'll be looking at:
What does success look like for me? What’s getting in my way of reaching my goal? Am I using my energy in the wrong places? Am I solely focused on correcting my weaknesses as opposed to maximising my strengths? How am I currently meeting my basics needs – the ones that could empower to thrive rather than survive? How do I start creating the world I want to live in?
Led by a team of queer mentors and coaches, we'll start to explore your unique needs, talents and future goals.
We want you to feel empowered with the new information you’re going to uncover and leave with actionable steps towards taking more control of your own life.
You will take part in various creative and interactive workshops to help you bring your intentions to life, and we’ll be encouraging you to use your mind and body to discover brand new perspectives about yourself.
We'll be incorporating tried and tested practices such as journaling, group sharing, self-enquiry, breath-work and meditation. These will be interspersed with key teachings and coaching techniques.
We offer a safe space to get curious, open up and discuss with others, aspects of your life you’re finding challenging or simply want to improve. Naturally it is a completely confidential space, where individuals can openly share their feelings and thoughts with the option of anonymity.
Your safety comes first.
Your safety is our main priority. For this reason, we may need to ask participants for some personal medical information, before we can confirm your place on the workshop. These are standard questions, there to protect your safety and everyone else involved. This information will only be shared on a need to know basis and will be GDPR compliant. We will also be undertaking other necessary safety measures, during and post-retreat.
We would highly recommend individuals with concerns relating to pre-existing mental health conditions, substance misuse and related disorders to seek immediate professional help.
This workshop has been designed by Create Space Workshops in partnership with We Create Space.
